  • Escalate highly complex architectural anomalies or structural system bugs to the senior engineering and architecture staff.
  • Document operational workflows, maintaining localized Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and capturing hardware/software baseline modifications.
  • Participate in a scheduled on-call rotation to provide necessary after-hours support for critical operational system issues.

  • Linux Maintenance: 5+ years of hands-on experience as a Linux Systems Administrator managing Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) operational environments.
  • VMware Administration: Practical, daily familiarity with VMware vSphere (ESXi/vCenter) for deploying, cloning, and managing virtualized systems.
  • Ansible Execution: Solid experience executing, troubleshooting, and editing existing Ansible/YAML scripts for standard configuration management.
  • Patching & Compliance: Proven history of deploying security patches and validating operational environments against DISA STIG frameworks.
  • Scripting Foundation: Proficiency utilizing scripting languages like Bash or Python to maintain system hygiene and automate manual administrative tasks.

  • TSSA Utilization: Direct hands-on operational experience using BMC True Sight Server Automation for endpoint management.
  • Containerization Exposure: Basic baseline exposure to containerization environments (OpenShift, Docker, or Kubernetes) and how they function in workflows.
  • Cloud Infrastructure: Fundamental knowledge of public or hybrid cloud systems (such as AWS or Azure).
