Junior System Administrator (HPC)
Caddis Solutions is a Maryland-based engineering company supporting complex technical programs. We offer direct access to leadership, less bureaucracy, greater individual impact, and highly competitive compensation.
Get hands-on with the Linux infrastructure behind High Performance Computing (HPC). You’ll help keep multi-vendor servers, clusters, and specialized processing platforms running reliably, with work that connects operating systems, hardware, networking, and automation. If you enjoy figuring out why a system behaves the way it does, there’s plenty here to engage that curiosity.
What you’ll work on
- Keep the foundation running. Configure and maintain operating systems across complex computing environments.
- Follow a problem to its source. Troubleshoot hardware and software, and support the networking and file systems that connect the environment.
- Make administration more consistent. Automate routine work with tools such as Bash, Salt, and Ansible.
Familiarity with RHEL, CentOS, Rocky Linux, or Ubuntu, along with HPC architecture, high-speed networking, TCP/IP, and enterprise support environments, will help you contribute. The work offers a practical connection between what you know about Linux and how large computing systems operate.
