Position Summary

As a Systems Administrator, you will own the reliability, security, and continuous improvement of the IT infrastructure that connects our staff and systems across two dozen locations. This is a high‑ownership role that moves beyond ticket‑driven work to proactively identify risks, build resilient systems, and raise the technical bar across the organization.

Infrastructure & Cloud Systems

• Administer Windows Server environments and cloud platforms (Microsoft 365, Azure, Entra ID)
• Manage identity and access controls including Active Directory, group policies, and MFA
• Oversee endpoint management at scale using Intune and/or SCCM

• Maintain HIPAA‑compliant infrastructure and actively support audit readiness
• Lead incident response for infrastructure‑related security events

Backup & Disaster Recovery

• Manage backup systems and verify data integrity on a regular cadence
• Maintain, document, and periodically test disaster recovery plans — not just write them

Network & Connectivity

• Support multi‑site connectivity including VPNs, firewalls, and routing configurations
• Troubleshoot escalated network and infrastructure issues across all facilities

Documentation & Knowledge Sharing

• Document systems, configurations, and runbooks to eliminate single points of failure
• Cross‑train team members and actively contribute to a culture of knowledge sharing

Collaboration & Projects

• Partner with help desk, developers, and leadership to deliver infrastructure that enables the mission
• Lead or support implementation of new systems, migrations, and tooling rollouts
• Receive day‑to‑day technical direction and guidance from the Senior Systems Administrator who sets priorities, reviews work, and provides mentorship
• Collaborate closely with the Senior Systems Administrator on cross‑site projects, escalations, and infrastructure planning; formally reports to the Chief Science Officer (CSO)

Preferred

• Background in healthcare IT or other regulated environments (HIPAA experience a strong plus)
• Scripting and automation skills in PowerShell or Bash
• Hands‑on cloud infrastructure experience with Azure or AWS
• Relevant certifications: Microsoft (e.g., AZ‑104), CompTIA (Security+, Network+), or Cisco

Measurable Outcomes

• Reliability: measurable reduction in unplanned downtime and incident frequency
• Security posture: consistent patching cadence, strong MFA adoption, clear audit trail
• Resilience: tested DR plans, no single points of failure in critical systems
• Documentation: runbooks and system docs that the team actually uses
• Team capability: colleagues who can cover key areas when you’re unavailable

Benefits

• Medical, dental and vision effective the first day of the month following 28 days of employment
• Employer contribution for Health Savings Account or Health Reimbursement Account
• 401(k) with company match and eligibility after 90 days of employment
