eNGINE builds Technical Teams. We’re a solutions and placement firm shaped by decades of experience in technology delivery and talent strategy. We’re hiring a Linux Systems Engineer to join a growing infrastructure automation team supporting one of our key financial services partners in Pittsburgh.

About the Role

This team manages Linux platform, and has recently launched an Automation-as-a-Service offering leveraging Ansible and Cassandra to support internal software development efforts.

The Linux Systems Engineer will play a critical role in expanding automation across the enterprise, with a focus on RHEL, Ansible, and infrastructure standardization. This person will work closely with the Lead Architect, contributing to both day-to-day operations and long-term automation strategy.

• Design, build, and maintain Ansible playbooks and pipelines to automate provisioning, configuration, and patching of Linux and Windows systems.
• Collaborate on efforts to integrate Active Directory (LDAP) with Ansible for centralized access and management.
• Participate in defining and maintaining golden images and environment standards for Linux infrastructure.
• Contribute to automation strategy by building out Windows playbooks and bringing Windows infrastructure into the Ansible ecosystem.
• Support security hardening, patching, and remediation efforts across multiple Linux flavors.
• Work with business partners to resolve environment and deployment issues, improve Dev-to-Prod migration processes, and ensure best practices around NFS, permissions, and file transfer security.

What We’re Looking For

• 3+ years of experience supporting and automating Linux environments (RHEL preferred).
• Proven experience with Ansible (playbook creation, pipeline automation, CLI or Tower experience).
• Familiarity with VMware integration, Active Directory/LDAP, and infrastructure automation best practices.
• Understanding of golden image creation, OS hardening, and release management processes.
• Scripting or automation language proficiency (YAML, Python, or Shell).
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills for partnering with internal teams and external stakeholders.
