SUMMARY OF POSITION:

Responsible for the design, implementation, and maintenance of enterprise IT infrastructure alongside proactive management of the organization's information security posture. This position combines hands-on systems administration — servers, networks, storage, and virtualization — with security analysis duties including vulnerability management, threat monitoring, incident response, and compliance support. The ideal candidate is a seasoned IT professional who can operate independently, mentor junior staff, and serve as a technical escalation point for both infrastructure and security matters.

• Administer, configure, and maintain Windows and/or Linux server environments, including Active Directory, DNS, DHCP, and Group Policy.
• Manage virtualization platforms (e.g., VMware, Hyper-V) and associated storage and backup infrastructure.
• Oversee patch management, system upgrades, and lifecycle replacement of servers, workstations, and network hardware.
• Monitor system performance and capacity, proactively identifying and resolving bottlenecks or failures.
• Administer core enterprise applications, directory services, and cloud infrastructure (e.g., Microsoft 365, Azure, AWS).
• Provide Tier 3 technical support and serve as an escalation point for complex infrastructure issues.
• Monitor security information and event management (SIEM) tools, firewalls, and intrusion detection/prevention systems for anomalous activity.
• Conduct regular vulnerability assessments and coordinate remediation with system owners and administrators.
• Support incident response activities, including detection, containment, eradication, and post-incident review.
• Develop, review, and enforce security policies, standards, and procedures in alignment with industry frameworks (e.g., NIST, CIS, ISO 27001).
• Support internal and external security audits, risk assessments, and regulatory compliance efforts (e.g., HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2, as applicable).
• Perform security awareness training and phishing simulation programs for staff.
• Evaluate and recommend new security tools, technologies, and best practices to strengthen the organization's security posture.
• Maintain accurate documentation of systems, configurations, security controls, and standard operating procedures.
• Mentor and provide technical guidance to junior systems administrators and IT support staff.
• Participate in an on-call rotation for after-hours system and security incidents.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams on IT projects, infrastructure upgrades, and security initiatives.
