Linux Platform Engineer

We are hiring an Linux Platform Engineer to help shape how a large, Linux-based infrastructure is built and run. You will design and maintain the automation that provisions, configures, and manages systems across the environment, replacing manual work with code-driven, repeatable processes. The team is moving toward a model where changes reach production only through automated, gated pipelines, and you will play a central role in building that foundation. You will also help modernize existing automation as the organization moves from VMware to Red Hat OpenShift, giving you hands-on experience with a major infrastructure transformation. Most of your time will go to building new solutions for internal teams, with some troubleshooting along the way. This role suits a Linux-minded engineer who learns quickly, takes ownership of outcomes, and wants their work to have visible impact.

Must Haves:

• Deep Linux expertise: Distro-agnostic, hands-on depth across Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS, and RHEL. Strong command-line troubleshooting, including locating logs quickly and parsing them with grep and regex.

• Ansible: Proven experience writing and modifying playbooks and modules for configuration management and automation.

• Terraform: Hands-on experience writing and maintaining infrastructure-as-code.

• Bash and Python: Working proficiency in both, used for automation and tooling.

• GitOps and CI/CD: Experience with Git-based workflows (GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket) and building and supporting CI/CD pipelines, ideally Jenkins.
  

Nice To Haves:

• Red Hat OpenShift: Exposure to deploying or supporting workloads on OpenShift.

• Regulated environments: Experience with highly controlled, policy-driven automation, such as gated deployments, minimal manual production access, or compliance-focused industries like defense or fintech.

• Kubernetes: Working knowledge of container orchestration concepts and operations.

• Puppet: Experience maintaining or troubleshooting Puppet configurations.

• RHEL depth: Strong Red Hat Enterprise Linux experience, as the environment shifts toward a heavier Red Hat footprint.
