• Monitor pipeline and application health, troubleshoot build and deployment failures, and help resolve incidents
• Administer and troubleshoot Linux systems, primarily Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)
• Document pipelines, procedures, and lessons learned
• Learn from senior engineers and contribute to process and tooling improvements
Required Qualifications
• Active TS/SCI with CI Polygraph clearance
• 1+ years of experience in DevOps, software build and release, systems administration, or a related field
• Experience with CI/CD tools such as GitLab CI, Jenkins, Tekton, or similar
• Working knowledge of Git and branching workflows
• Familiarity with containers (Podman or Docker) and container orchestration (Kubernetes, OpenShift, or similar)
• Basic automation and scripting skills (Ansible, Terraform, Bash, or Python)
• Hands-on experience with Linux (Red Hat preferred)
• A strong willingness to learn and a collaborative attitude
Preferred Qualifications
• Experience with Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform and OpenShift Pipelines or GitOps

• Red Hat certifications (RHCSA, RHCE, or OpenShift Administrator), or willingness to earn them
• DoD 8140 / 8570 compliant certification (for example, Security+)
• Experience working in air-gapped or classified environments
Why R2DTS?

R2DTS Benefits
• 100% paid healthcare, dental, and vision plans
