Systems Administrator (Los Angeles, CA)

ALT Consulting is an IT firm providing comprehensive, fully-managed IT services and solutions to businesses, agencies, and government organizations across North America. We are a diverse and driven team of talented individuals who are passionate about creating work environments conducive to success, both for ourselves and for our clients.

Success with information technology starts with finding the right tools for the job or industry, and setting these tools up to provide intuitive workflows for the end-user. It is our mission to provide organizations with fast and reliable access to their business data and collaboration tools and to ultimately allow them to work without interruptions due to technology.

During a typical day as a Systems Administrator at ALT Consulting, you'll be designing, deploying, and managing the infrastructure that our law firm clients depend on. You'll work with servers, cloud environments, backup systems, and network infrastructure to ensure client environments are secure, reliable, and well-maintained.

You'll collaborate with our consultants to plan and execute infrastructure projects, from Microsoft 365 migrations to network upgrades to disaster recovery implementations. Our clients rely on your expertise to build and maintain the systems that run their firms.

Each day you will be empowered to solve complex technical challenges, take ownership of client environments, and work with a team that holds itself to a high standard.

You will be well equipped to handle your role with your own advanced technology setup. When working from the office, you'll be in your own private workspace, which includes an immersive 40-inch 4K monitor, a Mac Book Pro, quality peripherals, and an ergonomic desk and chair.
