About The Role
We are hiring a
Systems Administrator (Hawaii)
to join our
Infrastructure & Security team.
This is an operational role focused on day-to-day reliability and secure operations across on-premise DoD enclaves and AWS environments.
Youll report to our
Director of Infrastructure
and work closely with SREs, security, and customer success. The role is operational with clear ownership; youll keep environments healthy, document what works, and raise issues early so the team can move fast without surprises.
This role requires regular on-site work at customer locations in Hawaii.
Location:
Oahu, HI. Within commuting distance to Camp H.M. Smith and Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam; travel on Oahu as required.
If you are not within commuting distance, you must be willing to relocate
(with assistance from Onebrief).
Security Clearance:
Active
TS required;
SCI eligibility is a plus.
About You
You take pride in stable systems and clean runbooks. You are the person who patches on time, labels the cables, and leaves things better than you found them. You ask good questions, escalate with context, and keep calm when the pager goes off.
You work well with engineers and non-engineers alike. You are hands-on at the command line, practical about tradeoffs, and diligent about documentation. You prefer clear checklists and steady improvement over heroics.
What You Will Do
You will keep our production instances secure, updated, and available. You will do this by:
Operating and maintaining environments
Own day-to-day admin for Linux servers, VMware, and AWS resources; apply patches, manage users, and keep configuration drift low.
Monitoring and responding
Watch the dashboards, tune alerts, and handle first-line incident response; capture timelines and hand off crisp RCAs to SRE when needed.
Hardening and compliance
Apply STIGs, track remediation plans and milestones, and support RMF evidence collection; keep systems audit-ready without slowing the mission.
Partnering with SRE and security
Surface trends, capacity needs, and recurring issues; suggest small automations or Ansible playbooks that reduce toil.
Qualifications
Collaboration & Ownership
3+ years in a systems administrator or similar ops role Clear written habits; you document, ticket, and close the loop Comfortable working on-site with government users and vendors
Technical Skills
Strong Linux administration; shell fluency and basic scripting (Bash or Python) Experience with VMware vSphere, virtual networks, and storage Familiarity with AWS basics, (EC2, VPC, IAM, S3), and standard monitoring tools Understanding of containers and Kubernetes concepts; hands-on is a plus Experience with Ansible or similar configuration management is a plus
Security & Compliance
Working knowledge of DoD environments, STIGs, and RMF Hands-on with hardening, patching, and vulnerability remediation DoD 8570.01 baseline certification (Security+ or equivalent) or ability to obtain shortly after hire
Execution
Proven habit of keeping systems backed up, logged, and alerting sanely Sound judgment under constraints; you escalate early with options, not just problems Comfortable operating in air-gapped or low-connectivity environments
Why Join Onebrief?
Youll be the operational backbone for our Hawaii deployments. When staffs plan on SIPR, NIPR, or JWICS, your stewardship keeps systems online, hardened, and trusted.
What makes this role compelling:
Direct mission impact; your work shows up in daily operations, not just dashboards. Broad, hands-on scope across Linux, VMware, and AWS; enough variety to grow without thrash. Tight partnership with senior SREs and security; learn resilient patterns and ship small automations that reduce toil. Clear ownership in a small, high-trust team; short feedback loops and room to shape runbooks and on-call. A stable product with real adoption; we are postproduct-market fit and profitable, so you can focus on quality and reliability. Seniority level
