Job description

Make an Impact Where It Matters Most

At Intelliforce, we build and sustain the infrastructure that mission applications depend on every day. In this role, you will support the Analytical Application team by helping maintain secure, reliable storage and virtualized infrastructure across mission environments.

At Intelliforce, we build and sustain the infrastructure that mission applications depend on every day. In this role, you will support the Analytical Application team by helping maintain secure, reliable storage and virtualized infrastructure across mission environments.

Your work will focus heavily on NetApp storage administration, VMware vSphere, Linux systems administration, and Rancher. You will help keep storage services available, troubleshoot infrastructure issues, maintain system configurations, and support the hardware and platform components that mission applications rely on.

This is a strong fit for an engineer who enjoys working close to the infrastructure layer and understands how storage, virtualization, Linux systems, and platform services come together to support mission operations.

What Makes This Opportunity Stand Out

This is not a Kubernetes-heavy DevOps role. The focus is on storage engineering and infrastructure sustainment.

You will have the opportunity to become a key technical resource for NetApp storage and virtual infrastructure while supporting a larger mission platform. The work blends storage administration, Linux systems engineering, virtualization, platform support, and troubleshooting, giving you broad visibility into how the underlying infrastructure supports applications and data.

At Intelliforce, your work is visible and your technical judgment matters. Because we support prime programs, our engineers stay close to meaningful mission work and the teams relying on these systems. Because we are a small business, leadership is accessible, communication is direct, and strong engineering gets noticed. Add in long-term stability, strong benefits, and a people-first culture, and this is an opportunity to take ownership of infrastructure that mission teams depend on every day.

Here’s What Your Day-to-Day Could Include
  • Administer and sustain NetApp storage environments
  • Support NetApp plugins and storage integrations within the larger platform
  • Monitor storage health, capacity, availability, and performance
  • Troubleshoot storage-related issues and help identify root causes
  • Support VMware vSphere environments and associated virtual infrastructure
  • Perform Linux systems administration across supported environments
  • Maintain system configurations and support infrastructure lifecycle activities
  • Support Rancher-based platform environments
  • Assist with infrastructure integration and sustainment activitiesSupport secure configuration, patching, hardening, and policy compliance
  • Troubleshoot hardware, storage, virtualization, Linux, and platform issues
  • Coordinate with application, systems, security, and infrastructure teams to resolve technical problems
  • Maintain technical documentation, configuration records, and operational procedures
  • Support testing and validation of infrastructure changes before production implementation
  • Provide technical input on storage and infrastructure requirements as systems evolve
Minimum Qualifications
  • Clearance: Top Secret Clearance with Polygraph, must be active. We do not have the ability to sponsor clearances
  • Citizenship: Must be a U.S. Citizen. We cannot sponsor visas
  • 14 years of experience as a Systems Engineer on programs and contracts of similar scope, type, and complexity
  • Bachelor’s degree in Systems Engineering, Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering Science, Engineering Management, or a related discipline from an accredited college or university
  • Five additional years of Systems Engineering experience may be substituted for the bachelor’s degree
  • Experience supporting enterprise infrastructure through deployment, sustainment, and operations
Required Skills
  • NetApp storage administration experience
  • Experience with NetApp plugins and storage integrations
  • Strong Linux systems administration skills
