Leidos has an exciting opportunity for a Systems Network Administrator to join our National Security Sector’s Cyber & Analytics Business Area (CABA). Our team is at the cutting edge of Security Engineering, Computer Network Operations (CNO), Mission Software, SIGINT, and advanced analytics—delivering solutions that directly support critical national security missions.
If you’re looking for meaningful work, a collaborative team environment, and opportunities to grow your technical skills, this is the role for you.

Why This Role Stands Out
At Leidos, you won’t just be another administrator—you’ll be part of a mission-driven team where your work has real impact. We provide challenging assignments, modern technologies, and a clear path for career growth.
If you're looking for comfort, keep scrolling. At Leidos, we outthink, outbuild, and outpace the status quo — because the mission demands it. We're not hiring followers. We're recruiting the ones who disrupt, provoke, and refuse to fail. Step 10 is ancient history. We're already at step 30 — and moving faster than anyone else dares.
