Systems Administrator III

Systems Administrator III

The Systems Administrator III is a senior, hands-on technologist responsible for the availability, security, and performance of the infrastructure that powers our laboratory, corporate, and customer-facing operations. Based in our Houston, Texas headquarters, this role administers servers, cloud services, networking, and end-user systems across all three regions, serving as the senior escalation point for the most complex technical issues, including those affecting laboratory production systems. The right candidate brings urgency and a solutions-first mindset: when systems are down, they move fast, communicate clearly, and drive issues to resolution — then follow through with root-cause fixes and automation so the same problem never surfaces twice.
