System Admin

System Admin

The Position

Our systems administrators manage the life cycles of various on-premise server and cloud solutions. From complex Active Directory environments and simple workgroup environments, to multi-region and multi-cloud service infrastructure, we will design, implement, maintain, manage, and decommission services to the requirements of the project and the customer.

We often need to research and familiarize ourselves with software and hardware that is new to the team in order to support the needs of our customers, so members of our team develop a wide array of skills and experience that support our operations. Our agility is the key to our success.

As part of the team, our systems administrators also support and serve as an escalation point for other IT technicians. Whether from our helpdesk and service technicians, our network administrators, or our DevOps and in-house software development teams, we work together to ensure our end users receive excellent IT experiences.

This is an end-user and customer facing role.
