Introduction

You'll work with visionaries across multiple industries to improve the hybrid cloud and AI journey for the most innovative and valuable companies in the world. Your ability to accelerate impact and make meaningful change for your clients is enabled by our strategic partner ecosystem and our robust technology platforms across the IBM portfolio; including Software and Red Hat.

Your Role and Responsibilities

As a Mid-Level Linux System Administrator, you will join a small team supporting the Department of Defense and Intelligence Community (IC) by facilitating data sharing using the Common Data Fabric (CDF). You will work alongside a web application development team to build out and maintain several AWS environments to support full-stack deployments using DevOps best practices.

The project you will be working is in support of improving the way information is made available to systems and/or machines and eliminating delays in gaining access. Our program (Diamond) gathers the technical and policy information that is required to connect data providers and consumers to the CDF. We then generate structured work requests that flow to a sister program (Coalminer) to complete the onboarding of the data providers and consumers. On this program, your team will be imagining and creating a solution that automates today's manual processes for capturing data policy and generating the critical and highly unique data sharing agreements (DSAs) that enable the CDF to enforce system-to-system data sharing across the IC and in support of warfighter missions. In addition, your team's solution will enable self-service CDF onboarding for new IC data providers and consumers.
