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.

EDUCATION AND/OR EXPERIENCE REQUIRED:

  • 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.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
