Who Thrives Here

You understand that uptime is patient care and set priorities accordingly. You can trace a fault across internal infrastructure, carrier circuits, and an external hosting provider, and you hold each party accountable for its part. You take change management seriously, you implement security requirements as written, and you give clinical staff and leadership clear, realistic updates during an outage. Our team works with integrity, trust, respect, kindness, and professionalism, and we look for colleagues who share those values.

Physical Requirements

This role is performed in office and clinical settings. It requires lifting and positioning equipment up to 50 pounds, and bending, kneeling, reaching, and crouching during installation and service work. Occasional work outside standard hours is required for maintenance windows and incident response.
