As a Senior Systems Administrator, you will ensure the reliability, security, and compliance of mission‑critical Windows Active Directory (AD) environments across Comtech—spanning the corporate network and multiple standalone enclaves. Some enclaves are isolated from the broader corporate network and have unique maintenance and compliance requirements. You will lead daily operations, perform structured troubleshooting for technical users and developers, and execute security and compliance tasks aligned to NIST SP 800‑53, STIG/SCAP, and ACAS/Nessus while collaborating closely with the ISSO/ISSM.

• Linux Server & Applications (Nice to Have):
  Administer RHEL/Rocky/Ubuntu servers and common services (NGINX/Apache, PostgreSQL/MySQL, Samba/NFS); enforce SELinux/App Armor; integrate with AD via SSSD; support container hosts (Docker/Podman).
