Job description

Systems Administrator, Bulk Data Transport Operations

Make an Impact Where It Matters Most

At Intelliforce, we support mission infrastructure that must be available, reliable, and ready around the clock. In this role you will join the Bulk Data Transport Team, delivering enterprise-scale corporate data transport and messaging services critical to national security. You will help develop, deploy, and support worldwide high-performance bulk data transport services for the IC and enterprise partners. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys Linux, operational support, and maintaining high-availability systems.

What Makes This Opportunity Stand Out

This role gives you the chance to work on infrastructure with real reach and real consequence. You will support services used across a worldwide enterprise environment, covering Linux administration, application support, and data flow operations. The team handles core business-day operations plus after-hours support, keeping you close to live systems and mission needs. It is a strong fit for someone who enjoys hands‑on system ownership, practical troubleshooting, and supporting services that cannot afford downtime.

Because we support prime programs, our teams stay close to meaningful mission work with real momentum. As a small business, leadership is accessible, communication is direct, and strong technical ownership is recognized. Long-term stability, strong benefits, and a people‑first culture make this more than another sysadmin role.

Day-to-Day Responsibilities

• Support worldwide enterprise-scale bulk data transport and messaging services.
• Perform Linux command‑line system administration in a mission‑focused environment.
• Support application administration and data flow administration across operational services.
• Help develop, deploy, and sustain high-performance bulk data transport capabilities.
• Troubleshoot system and service issues during core coverage hours and on‑call rotations.
• Work with teammates to maintain availability, reliability, and fault tolerance across the platform.
• Contribute to operational support for IC and enterprise mission partners.

Minimum Qualifications

• Top Secret Clearance with Polygraph, active. Sponsorship not available.
• U.S. Citizen. Visa sponsorship not available.
• 5 years of Systems Administration experience.
• Basic to strong Linux skills.
• Bachelor’s degree not required.
• IAT Level 1 certification required.
• On‑call support required.

Required Skills

• Strong Linux experience.
• Linux command‑line system administration.
• Application administration.
• Data flow administration.
• Ability to support high‑availability, reliable, fault‑tolerant enterprise services.
• Ability to work in a Contractor SCIF in Columbia.
• Ability to support 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. team coverage and periodic after‑hours call‑in support.

Desired Skills

• Experience supporting enterprise messaging or bulk data transport services.
• Experience working in worldwide operational environments.
• Ability to ramp into on‑call support after training.
• Strong collaboration and operational troubleshooting skills.

Compensation Range

$101,000.00 – $129,000.00

Salary range reflects an estimate based on current market trends and may be adjusted based on candidate experience, skills, and qualifications. The final offer will be tailored after a thorough evaluation.

Benefits

• Generous PTO, federal holidays, and your birthday off.
• Multiple medical plans, including options with zero deductible or premium.
• Generous 401(k) contribution with immediate vesting.
• Bonus opportunities, including profit sharing, quarterly awards, and President’s Club recognition.
• Engaging team activities that foster a collaborative environment.
