Support cross‑platform identity and access management aligned with NIST access control policies.
Assist with Windows Server administration and virtualization platforms within compliant environments.
Compliance, Security & Governance
Ensure systems and processes adhere to NIST 800‑171, and internal SSP (System Security Plan) requirements.
Support export‑controlled (EAR/ITAR) environments by enforcing access restrictions, logging requirements, and data segregation.
Participate in cybersecurity audits, system assessments, and vulnerability scans.
Maintain configuration baselines, security documentation, and evidence for compliance reviews.
Implement and maintain system hardening standards and security controls across Linux and hybrid environments.
Monitoring, Logging & Incident Response
Deploy and manage system monitoring tools (Prometheus, Grafana, Nagios, Zabbix).
Maintain centralized logging (e.g., syslog, ELK/Elastic) in accordance with NIST audit and traceability requirements.
Support incident response activities, root‑cause analysis, and corrective actions.
Contribute to continuous improvement of detection, response, and recovery processes.
Networking & Interoperability
Troubleshoot networking services, secure remote access, firewall rules, VPN configurations, and cross‑platform connectivity.
Ensure secure communication between Linux systems and Windows infrastructure components.
DevOps & Automation (Preferred)
Use automation tools (Ansible, Terraform, scripting) to support consistent, compliant system deployments.
Assist with CI/CD pipeline integrations in regulated environments.
Documentation & Collaboration
Maintain detailed runbooks, diagrams, SOPs, and configuration documentation aligned with compliance standards.
Work closely with IT, security, engineering, and compliance teams to ensure seamless operations across controlled environments.
Required Skills / Experience
3 or more years of hands‑on Linux systems administration experience (Ubuntu preferred).
Strong understanding of system security, networking fundamentals, and hardening best practices.
Experience supporting systems governed by NIST 800‑53, 800‑171, or similar frameworks.
Ability to work within and maintain export‑compliant (EAR/ITAR) environments.
Experience with Bash scripting and automation.
Familiarity with Windows Server, AD, Entra ID, and hybrid systems.

Experience with VMware, Hyper‑V, or cloud platforms (AWS GovCloud, Azure Government, etc.).
Experience with configuration management (Ansible, Salt, Puppet, Chef).
Familiarity with SIEM tools and log aggregation platforms.
Exposure to containerization (Docker) in regulated environments.
