Systems Administrator

Be ready to rethink your assumptions about the public sector. Dedicated and motivated colleagues? Beautiful, high amenity building for on-site work and collaboration? Flexible schedules and hybrid work options? Yes, yes, and yes!

Under the direction of the Bay Area Toll Authority (BATA) Information Technology Manager, the Systems Administrator provides server, identity, and security administration in a primarily Microsoft Server and Azure environment with a small number of Linux systems. This is a broad role with an emphasis on identity, security, and automation. The position helps build a new configuration standards and automation program, and will support facility monitoring technology as new toll facilities come online.

This is one of two systems administrator positions on a seven-person IT infrastructure team within the Capital Delivery, Asset Management, and Roadside Tolling (CART) section, alongside network engineers and a technical project manager. Responsibilities are divided between the two administrators and reviewed as the work changes.

The systems supported by this position keep toll collection running across the Bay Area state-owned bridges and several of the region’s Express Lane corridors, including equipment at toll plazas and roadside facilities. This is a 24/7 operation, though after-hours escalations are rare and have not required a rotating on-call schedule. The position is expected to respond to major system failures and security incidents when they occur.
