IT & Cybersecurity Specialist at relogicresearch – Huntsville | Jobyssey

At ReLogic Research, you won't be just another headcount. We are a tight-knit team of engineers, physicists, and technical professionals solving complex challenges in national defense and we are looking for someone who genuinely loves Linux and wants to put that passion to work in one of the most technically demanding environments around.

This role is built around Linux. If you live in the terminal, get excited about system configuration, and want to apply that passion in a national defense environment, this is your role. Helpdesk, Windows support, network troubleshooting, and security documentation are all real parts of the job, but Linux is the foundation we are hiring around.

As an AS9100D-certified small business supporting the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Missile Defense Agency, you will be joining an established IT and cybersecurity team that has already built a strong foundation with experienced senior staff. This role adds energy and Linux depth to that team. Responsibilities span multiple areas but no single function will overwhelm you. We are looking for someone curious and adaptable who wants to grow across disciplines in a fast-moving defense environment.

If you are the kind of person who spins up a Linux VM for fun on a Saturday, ReLogic is where you belong.
