Do Work That Matters

Leidos Australia delivers Technology and Airborne solutions that protect and advance the Australian way of life. Our 2000 local experts, backed by our global experience and network of partners, are working to solve the world’s toughest challenges in government, intelligence, defence, aviation, border protection and health markets.

Your New Role and Responsibilities

The Air Component Command and Control Capability System (AC-C2CS) is a mission-critical suite of software applications that enables the Australian Defence Force (ADF) to effectively plan, prepare, execute, manage, and report on aviation operations.

This role is focused on keeping mission-critical, Linux-hosted application services highly available, secure, and performant. You’ll combine hands-on Linux administration with operational support for database-backed platforms (including Sybase), working within ITIL processes to deliver stable services, rapid incident resolution, and continuous improvement.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Administer and maintain Linux server environments (RHEL/CentOS/Ubuntu) supporting mission-critical applications.
  • Monitor and improve application and platform availability, performance, and capacity.
  • Deliver deployments, upgrades, and patching across systems and applications, including change planning and validation.
  • Troubleshoot complex application, OS, and database-related issues (including Sybase connectivity and performance).
  • Operate within ITIL processes to manage incidents, problems (RCA), service requests, and accurate ITSM records.

What You’ll Bring to Make an Impact

  • Strong hands-on Linux administration experience (Red Hat preferred); RHCSA/RHCE desirable.
  • Experience supporting enterprise applications in production environments, including middleware/runtime stacks.
  • Working knowledge of Sybase (or similar) database operational support (monitoring, backup/recovery, performance basics).
  • Scripting capability (Bash and/or Python) plus familiarity with monitoring and log analysis tools.
  • Must hold or be eligible to obtain NV2 Security Clearance and be able to work in secure/regulated environments.

Don’t worry if you don’t tick all the boxes – if you meet most of them, we encourage you to submit your application. We’re most interested in your strengths, what you want to learn and how far you want to go.
