Linux Engineer
80%Candidate Evaluation Summary
Total Score: 80/100
Key Insights:
- Strong Fit for Linux Engineering: The candidate has 9+ years of experience, including direct RHEL administration (2+ years at Cigna Healthcare) and extensive DevOps work with automation, cloud, and virtualization—closely aligning with the role’s core requirements.
- Primary Skills Match: High proficiency in Ansible, Terraform, VMware, and GCP/AWS, though RHEL 9 and Centrify AD Bridge experience isn’t explicitly stated.
- Gaps: Limited evidence of Red Hat Satellite or Packer usage, and no mention of Delinia Server Suite (Centrify). Cloud focus leans more toward AWS than GCP.
- Overqualified? The JD seeks 5+ years of Linux engineering; the candidate has 9+ total years with 2 years in direct Linux admin roles. Their recent DevOps focus might shift priorities away from hands-on Linux upkeep.

Final Notes
- Strengths: Automation (Ansible/Terraform), cloud (AWS/GCP), and virtualization (VMware/Kubernetes) expertise. Certifications add credibility.
- Concerns: Light on Red Hat Satellite and Packer; AWS overshadows GCP experience. Recent roles prioritize DevOps over pure Linux engineering.
- Recommendation: Strong contender if the team values automation/cloud skills over deep Linux upkeep. Probe further on RHEL 9 and GCP during interviews.
