• 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.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Cybersecurity, or a related field, or equivalent combination of education and experience.
• Minimum of 5 years of progressive experience in systems administration, with at least 2 years in a security-focused role.
• Strong knowledge of Windows Server and/or Linux administration, Active Directory, and enterprise networking (TCP/IP, VLANs, VPNs, firewalls).
• Demonstrated experience with security tools such as SIEM platforms, vulnerability scanners, endpoint detection and response (EDR), and firewall management consoles.
• Solid understanding of security frameworks and regulatory requirements relevant to the organization's industry.
• Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and incident response skills.
