Corvid Technologies is seeking a Senior Linux Systems Administrator to join our technical team and support our command-line only infrastructure. The ideal candidate will be a Linux specialist capable of working independently without relying on external resources such as Google, customer support, or GUI interfaces. This role involves managing a supercomputer environment that processes up to 50TB of new data daily, utilizing both hardware and open-source virtualization and containerization technologies. The successful candidate will be responsible for installing, configuring, and troubleshooting RHEL 7/8 operating system issues on air-gapped networks, as well as debugging hardware and software problems within our Linux infrastructure. In this position, you will frequently utilize man pages and write custom scripts to automate system tasks and troubleshoot server or network issues. You will also be expected to improve your skillset and gain new knowledge continuously. Attention to detail is crucial, as all systems are configured uniformly, and any changes must be applied consistently across all systems. The ability to problem-solve with minimal guidance and supervision is essential, as is a strong understanding of EL 7/8 features, built-in commands, tools, and configuration files. Given the high-paced environment at Corvid, where zero downtime is maintained and external customer downtime is limited to 8 hours per contract, the ability to thrive under pressure is vital. The role requires a strong scripting background in languages such as Python or Bash, along with excellent research skills focused on testing implementations before executing them in production. The candidate must possess a Bachelor's degree in a technical field and demonstrate command line capabilities without internet resources or external guidance. U.S. citizenship and the ability to obtain and maintain a Security Clearance are also required. A good sense of humor is appreciated in our collaborative work environment.
