• Support and administer databases (MS SQL, Oracle) and ensure secure database access and backup procedures.
• Provide administration and operational support for LIMS and other laboratory systems; coordinate upgrades and troubleshoot integrations.
• Oversee data protection, encryption, data archiving, and retention policies to meet compliance and business requirements (including HIPAA).
• Monitor system and network performance; proactively troubleshoot issues and coordinate with network management to optimize connectivity and uptime.
• Act as tier 2/3 support for the helpdesk: investigate escalated incidents, perform root cause analysis, and implement permanent fixes.
• Maintain documentation for configurations, runbooks, incident response, and change management; work with vendors for hardware, software, and managed services.
• Participate in security assessments, audits, and remediation activities; implement security best practices and awareness across the organization.
• Develop and test business continuity and disaster recovery plans; lead recovery efforts during outages and post-incident reviews.

• Bachelors degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, or related field or equivalent experience.
• 5+ years of hands-on experience administering enterprise IT systems, servers, storage, and networks.
• Experience with backup administration and DR solutions (e.g., Veeam, CommVault, NetBackup) and proven restore/test experience.
• Strong knowledge of network and security technologies: firewalls, VPNs, IDS/IPS, and network management.
• Experience administering Microsoft 365, Active Directory, Group Policy, and Azure AD integration.
• Proficiency with databases (MS SQL and/or Oracle) including backup, restore, performance tuning, and security.
• Familiarity supporting LIMS or other laboratory information systems is highly desirable.
• Understanding of data protection, archiving, encryption, and HIPAA/privacy compliance requirements.
