System administration is about keeping IT systems running smoothly—handling updates, managing infrastructure, and making sure everything stays online and accessible. Whether it's servers, workstations, or hybrid environments, SysAdmins are the backbone of day-to-day tech operations.
Working on the Linux kernel means building the foundation of everything from servers to smartphones. It’s deep technical work—coding, debugging, and contributing to the engine that powers much of today’s tech.
Cloud & Containers is all about running applications anywhere, anytime. It’s the tech behind modern deployment—automating scaling, improving uptime, and optimizing infrastructure without worrying about hardware.
Networking connects the digital world—whether it’s data centers, cloud platforms, or IoT devices. It's about designing and maintaining the systems that move data quickly, securely, and reliably.
Cybersecurity is a core part of building, deploying, and maintaining technology. From threat detection to secure development practices, strong security requires engineering it into every layer of systems—and making it a shared responsibility across teams.
DevOps and SRE break down silos between development and operations, focusing on automation, reliability, and speed. It’s about delivering software faster, with fewer bugs, and more confidence.
Blockchain and decentralized identity technologies are reshaping how trust is built online. Blockchain secures and verifies records, while decentralized identity frameworks give individuals control over their own credentials without relying on a central authority. Open source projects like Besu, an Ethereum client, provide the infrastructure that powers these decentralized networks.
Systems Engineering & Architecture is about seeing the big picture—planning, building, and managing the full stack of IT systems to meet business and technical goals.
