Sr Linux Administrator
Job description
At Relativity Space, we’re building rockets to serve today’s needs and tomorrow’s breakthroughs. Our Terran R vehicle will deliver customer payloads to orbit, meeting the growing demand for launch capacity. But that’s just the start. Achieving commercial success with Terran R will unlock new opportunities to advance science, exploration, and innovation, pioneering progress that reaches beyond the known.
Joining Relativity means becoming part of something where autonomy, ownership, and impact exist at every level. Here, you're not just executing tasks; you're solving problems that haven’t been solved before, helping develop a rocket, a factory, and a business from the ground up.
Job responsibilities
- Act as the primary escalation point for Linux issues across engineering, from routine to complex, and own first triage of incoming requests
- Troubleshoot the daily reality of a mixed fleet: authentication and access, services, storage and filesystems, performance, and remote connectivity
- Provision Linux hosts end-to-end against established procedures, from laptops and workstations to rack-mounted servers and lab systems
- Own access and authentication operations and recurring fleet maintenance — patching, health checks, backup verification, and capacity management
- Maintain the configuration management codebase with small, reviewed changes, freeing the senior engineering side of the team for architecture work.
Job requirements
- 5+ years of hands-on Linux systems administration in production, owning fleet health rather than ticket-by-ticket task work
- Configuration management experience — reading, modifying, and debugging automation, not just running it — in an infrastructure-as-code model with peer review
- Medium-to-advanced troubleshooting across services, networking, storage, authentication, and performance, with the judgment to recognize when documentation runs out
- Enterprise directory services integration on Linux, credential and key management, and scripting proficiency
- Proven ability to be an escalation point for technical teams: triaging ambiguous reports and managing competing priorities without losing requests.
