Job Description & How to Apply Below

We're looking for a Lead Systems and Network Administrator to own and evolve our enterprise infrastructure. This is a senior, hands‑on role with strategic scope — covering networking, identity management, security operations, and infrastructure architecture. You'll work alongside a fellow Senior Systems Administrator and mentor a junior technician.

This is a critical hire. The right candidate has grown up on the networking side of IT and can operate at both the tactical and strategic level.

INFRASTRUCTURE & NETWORKING
  • Design, implement, and maintain enterprise networking infrastructure — switches, firewalls, wireless, VPNs
  • Configure and manage firewall policies, VLANs, DNS, DHCP, and network security controls
  • Monitor performance, troubleshoot complex connectivity issues, and plan for capacity
  • Maintain network diagrams, asset inventories, and operational runbooks
  • Contribute to backup, disaster recovery, and business continuity planning
IDENTITY & ACCESS MANAGEMENT
  • Administer and improve SSO configuration and provisioning workflows
  • Manage IAM systems, MDM platforms, and endpoint management solutions
  • Implement role-based access controls and design scalable identity processes
SECURITY & COMPLIANCE
  • Conduct security audits, vulnerability assessments, and remediation
  • Support patch management, endpoint security, and system hardening
  • Help drive compliance with SOC 2, ISO 27001, or similar frameworks
STRATEGIC PLANNING
  • Help define and execute the infrastructure and security roadmap
  • Evaluate technologies and architectural approaches
  • Partner with leadership to align technology with business goals
TEAM & OPERATIONS
  • Provide escalation‑level support for Mac and Windows environments
  • Maintain and optimize onboarding/offboarding workflows
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR Required
  • 5+ years in network/systems administration or infrastructure engineering
  • Deep, hands‑on networking expertise — TCP/IP, routing, switching, DNS, DHCP, VPNs, VLANs, firewalls, wireless
  • Experience with networking platforms such as Uni Fi, Fortinet, Cisco, Meraki, or Palo Alto
  • Proficiency with SSO solutions (Jump Cloud, Okta, Microsoft Entra , or similar)
  • Experience with MDM/endpoint tools (Jamf, Kandji, Intune, Apple Business Manager, or similar)
  • Comfortable in both macOS and Windows environments
  • Experience with Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, or Exchange Online
Preferred
  • Compliance framework experience (SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA)
  • Background in infrastructure modernization or cloud migration
  • Scripting, automation, or configuration management experience
  • Prior technical lead or infrastructure architect experience
