About the Role
We are a dynamic IT consulting firm seeking an experienced Systems Administrator to join our team. In this role, you won't just manage a single environment; you will take ownership of hybrid infrastructures across a diverse client portfolio.
This is not a "keep the lights on" role. We are looking for an engineer who brings a consultative mindset to every ticket and project—focusing on automation-first strategies, proactive monitoring, and robust security governance. You will act as a technical lead for on-premise storage and virtualization while managing AWS deployments and Identity Management stacks.
Beyond the technical execution, you will serve as a trusted advisor, partnering with clients to author and develop critical IT policies that ensure their data retention, disaster recovery, and security postures are mature and compliant.
Key Responsibilities
Multi-Client Infrastructure & Virtualization
- Architect, manage, and optimize virtualization environments across various client sites, with a heavy focus on VMware and Proxmox clusters.
- Manage and maintain high-availability storage systems across different hardware generations and vendors, specifically utilizing Synology, TrueNAS, and Dell Unisphere environments.
- Deploy and scale AWS resources for multiple tenants, ensuring cost-efficiency, proper segmentation, and security best practices.
Networking & Security
- Maintain and troubleshoot Intermediate-level networking across a multi-vendor stack. You must be comfortable navigating complex topologies involving Juniper switches, Meraki cloud-managed infrastructure, and Palo Alto firewalls.
- Serve as the primary administrator for Identity Providers, specifically Okta and Active Directory, managing SSO, MFA, and complex lifecycle management workflows.
- Audit client environments to enforce a Least Privileged Access model across all systems.
Automation & Proactive Monitoring
- Automate wherever possible. Utilize scripting and orchestration to standardize deployments and eliminate repetitive manual tasks across the client base.
- Own the central monitoring ecosystem, utilizing Zabbix to configure custom triggers, templates, and alerts that cater to specific client SLAs.
- Adopt a proactive stance on system health—identifying and resolving latency or capacity trends before they impact client operations.
Governance & Policy Development
- Collaborate directly with clients to write, develop, and maintain IT policies tailored to their specific business requirements.
- Focus on defining and testing Backup & Retention policies, Disaster Recovery (DR) planning, and Data Security standards.
Required Qualifications
- Experience: 5+ years of experience in Systems Administration
- Virtualization: Expertise managing VMware (vSphere/ESXi) and Proxmox VE, with the ability to adapt to other hypervisors as needed.
- Storage: Strong hands-on experience configuring and maintaining Synology NAS, TrueNAS Scale, and Dell Unisphere/Unity arrays.
- Networking: Proven ability to troubleshoot and manage Juniper routing/switching, Meraki wireless/security, and Palo Alto firewalls.
- Cloud & Identity: Experience managing AWS infrastructure and Identity Providers (Okta/Active Directory) in a multi-tenant context.
- Monitoring: Advanced configuration skills in Zabbix (creating templates, custom parameters).
- Consultative Skills: Ability to translate technical risks into business policies (DR, Backups, Security) for non-technical client stakeholders.
Desired Skills
- Experience migrating workloads between virtualization platforms (e.g., VMware to Proxmox).
- Scripting proficiency in Python or Bash for automation and Zabbix custom parameters.
- Experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform/Ansible) for standardizing client deployments.
The expected, full-time, annual base pay scale for this System Administrator position is $95k-$120K. Actual base pay will vary based off of skills, experience, and location.
Job Type: Full-time
Pay: $95,000.00 - $120,000.00 per year
