Do you think you know Linux? Are you a natural at problem solving, with little guidance and can work administer Linux systems in an air-gapped environment (IE no Google or paid support)? Corvid looking for a talented Linux expert that enjoys working with highly technical engineers and scientists solving difficult engineering problems for our customers - and can do it in a unique environment that supports national defense.
Corvid Technologies runs a supercomputer with an environment built on both hardware and free, open-source virtualization and containerization, turning over up to 50TB of new data daily, to solve engineering problems other companies fail to solve. Our numerical solvers are developed in-house by our engineers and developers, providing customers with customized solutions to a variety of difficult problems. We are seeking a Linux specialist of the same caliber to join our technical team and support our command line-only infrastructure. Our ideal candidate can work without depending on Google, external customer support, paid support subscriptions, 3rd party paid apps, or needing GUI interface and Windows servers to manage systems.

- Frequent use and understanding of man pages
- Debug hardware and software problems on our Linux infrastructure
- Write custom scripts to automate system tasks and troubleshoot server or network issues
- Improve skillset and gain new knowledge
Who we want:- An individual with strong attention to detail and consistent work (all systems are configured the same, any changes are applied to all the systems at once)
- Ability to solve problems with minimal guidance and supervision
- Ability to thrive in a high-paced environment (Corvid has zero downtime and an external customer downtime limit of 8hrs per customer contract)
- Excellent research skills with a strong focus on testing implementations before executing in production
- Excellent sense of humor
Requirements:- Bachelor's degree in a technical field (mathematics, engineering, computer sciences, physics, etc.)
- Proficiency test demonstrating command line capabilities without internet resources, external guidance, and limited peripherals
- Strong scripting background in languages such as Python or Bash
