Remote, United States
Our take: The real work here is tracing hard failures through Linux, logs, and GitLab internals to keep secure government deployments running, often overnight and with incomplete data.
If you love dropping into the command line, tracing a baffling failure through logs and code paths until you find the real cause, this role lets you do it on systems that genuinely matter to national security. You will work in air-gapped and highly regulated environments where normal tools do not apply, which is exactly the kind of puzzle that keeps the work interesting. It is a fully remote, trust-based team that pairs, shares knowledge, and expects you to own outcomes, and the overnight shift means quiet, focused hours for people who do their best thinking when the world is asleep.
