• Container / Kubernetes Administrator
Core Responsibilities
• Support and administer Linux-based systems in a secure classified environment
• Maintain, troubleshoot, and optimize physical and virtual server infrastructure

• Exposure to AI/ML infrastructure is a plus, but not required
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
• Multiple urgent openings
• Relocation support available
