Who you are

Trilogy Innovations, Inc. is seeking an RHEL Systems Engineer to provide continuous hands-on engineering coverage across all workstreams of a federal infrastructure modernization engagement. This role spans RHEL build and configuration, Satellite integration, identity management, automation development support, and knowledge transfer, and serves as leave-coverage backup for senior engineers throughout the period of performance.

The ideal candidate brings 10+ years of IT experience, 5+ years of RHEL operations and engineering experience across enterprise federal environments, with demonstrated versatility across the Red Hat ecosystem. You are equally comfortable owning a workstream independently and filling gaps across other workstreams as program needs shift.

What you will do:

• Build, configure, and maintain Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8.x, 9.x, and 10.x baseline images within virtualized enterprise environments, ensuring alignment with security, compliance, and operational standards.
• Support Red Hat Satellite integration activities, including content registration, host collection management, content lifecycle administration, patch deployment, and compliance scanning.
• Develop, test, and maintain Ansible automation solutions, including reusable roles, playbooks, and Molecule-tested content to support consistent and scalable system administration.
• Implement and support enterprise identity management integrations, including Active Directory, SSSD, LDAP, and multi-factor authentication (MFA) solutions such as YubiKey and Smart Card authentication.
• Collaborate with engineering, operations, and security teams to ensure systems are configured, secured, and maintained in accordance with organizational and regulatory requirements.
• Troubleshoot and resolve Linux infrastructure, automation, and identity management issues across development, test, and production environments.
• Create and maintain technical documentation, implementation guides, standard operating procedures (SOPs), training materials, and knowledge transfer artifacts as part of project delivery requirements.
• Participate in system validation, compliance activities, and operational readiness efforts to support successful deployments and ongoing system health.
• Provide cross-functional support and operational continuity across workstreams, ensuring project momentum and service delivery are maintained during planned and unplanned team absences.
• Contribute to process improvement initiatives by identifying opportunities to enhance automation, standardization, efficiency, and operational resilience across the environment.

How success is measured:

• Successfully delivers secure, stable, and compliant RHEL 8.x/9.x/10.x environments that meet operational and security requirements.
• Develops and maintains scalable Ansible automation that reduces manual effort and improves consistency across the environment.
• Ensures successful integration and management of Red Hat Satellite, identity management services, and compliance tooling.
• Maintains compliance with STIG, SCAP, and CIS Benchmark requirements while proactively identifying and resolving security risks.
• Produces high-quality technical documentation, SOPs, and training materials that support knowledge transfer and operational readiness.
• Collaborates effectively across engineering, operations, security, and government stakeholder teams to meet project objectives and delivery timelines.
• Provides technical leadership, mentors team members, and contributes to continuous improvement initiatives that enhance efficiency, reliability, and customer satisfaction.

What you bring:

We require: 

• Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or a related field; equivalent professional experience accepted

• 10+ years of IT experience, with 5+ years of RHEL operations and engineering experience across enterprise federal environments, with demonstrated versatility across the Red Hat ecosystem

• RHCE certification, with RHCA or RHCSA also valued, and Red Hat Specialist credentials in one or more of Ansible Automation, Containers, Virtualization, or Deployment and Systems Management

• Experience with Terraform/Ansible IaC and federal security environments

Nice to have:

• Experience working within a federal security framework

Work Environment: Remote with occasional travel

Compensation and Benefits:Salary range: $152,000 - $156,000
