This position is located at the National Business Park in Annapolis Junction, Maryland, and requires a TS-SCI security clearance with a Full Scope Polygraph. The role is not open for any clearance upgrades or sponsorship, so candidates must already possess the required clearance. As a Senior Linux System Administrator, you will be a principal consultant and a mid-level member of a project team, assisting with the implementation and testing of individual components of the Oracle product or technology based on guidance from the lead. Your responsibilities will include the development and configuration of detailed solutions based on customer requirements, as well as assisting in the operations and maintenance of the customer system. In this role, you will leverage your extensive experience in Linux system administration, particularly with RedHat, CentOS, and Oracle. You will manage users and file systems, backups, patches, security, and networks, as well as hardware administration, troubleshooting, and installation. Your expertise will also extend to software installation, administration, and troubleshooting, as well as performance tuning. You will be responsible for administering a production system, which includes system accreditation processes, system hardening, preparation for penetration and vulnerability testing, and system monitoring and health monitoring. You will utilize the customer's software repositories, authentication services, network services, COOP facilities, SSP, and asset management systems. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in scripting languages such as Bash and Perl, and an awareness of Git/software configuration management, Docker, and Puppet. Effective communication and documentation skills are essential, as is the ability to work collaboratively with a large team of developers and manage a small team of administrators. A willingness to take direction and interact with customer watch facilities, along with an understanding of customer mission requirements, is also crucial. Experience in intelligence agencies is highly desirable.
