IBM Linux System Administrator TS/SCI CI POLY 

United States, Virginia 

223443089

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.
