Senior Linux Systems Engineer

Cellebrite•Tysons, VA

About The Position

We are looking for a Senior Linux Systems Engineer with deep Debian/Ubuntu expertise to help scale Corellium's fleet. This role focuses on building the Linux foundations, automation, and operational practices that allow us to grow reliably without a corresponding increase in operational overhead. You will improve how systems are deployed, upgraded, monitored, and maintained across hundreds of machines while serving as the team's escalation point for complex Linux issues. This is not a pure operations role. You will regularly develop and maintain automation, review deployment-related code, and help design systems that are reliable, maintainable, and scalable. Your mission is to make operating Corellium's fleet predictable, repeatable, and safe at scale. You will improve fleet-wide upgrades, rollbacks, provisioning, and system reliability; expand automation that reduces manual work; and help ensure the Linux foundations underlying the platform remain robust as the business grows.

Experience designing and maintaining reliable internal tooling and operational automation.
Ability to take ownership of complex problems from investigation through resolution.

Troubleshoot complex Linux issues involving package management, system services, storage, boot processes, and kernel behavior.

Review, maintain, and extend deployment and infrastructure code.
Serve as an escalation point for difficult production and infrastructure issues.
Improve fleet observability, monitoring, and operational visibility.
Partner with engineering teams to ensure platform changes are reliable, supportable, and operationally sound.
