• Cloud Migration Leadership: Provide technical leadership to unblock and accelerate cloud migrations, ensuring alignment with long-term business roadmaps.
• Resource & Storage Management: Optimize storage and resource utilization across diverse Linux distributions to maintain performance and cost efficiency.
• Containerization & Modernization: Engineer and support platforms using Kubernetes, OpenShift, Docker/Podman to accelerate deployment of mission-critical applications.

 

Advanced Automation & Operational Excellence

• Root Cause Analysis (RCA): Serve as SME to diagnose complex Linux failures; drive swift remediation to minimize downtime in production and migration environments.
• Enterprise Server Management: Manage multi-site Linux ecosystems (e.g., RHEL/AlmaLinux, Ubuntu, SUSE) including stability, patching, and lifecycle management.
• Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Use Ansible—integrating Python and Bash—to standardize server builds/configurations across multiple Linux flavors for rapid, consistent, audit-ready deployments.
• Observability & Reliability: Implement monitoring/alerting (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, ELK/Splunk); participate in on-call rotations and planned maintenance windows to uphold SLAs.

 

Security, Compliance, and Governance (Aerospace Focus)

• System Hardening & Benchmarks: Harden Linux systems to meet/exceed CIS Benchmarks; reduce attack surface and satisfy strict regulatory requirements.
• Policy & Certification Documentation: Develop and maintain Crypto Standards Procedures supporting ISO 27001 compliance; contribute to policy, standards, and audit artifacts.
• Access Control & Identity: Manage PKI infrastructure, enforce least-privilege access standards, and implement robust account creation and restrictions.
• Frameworks & Controls (Preferred): Experience with NIST 800‑53, FedRAMP, and DoD STIGs in regulated environments.
