  • Expertise with Windows Server administration, configuration, upgrades, and lifecycle management
  • Deep expertise in PowerShell scripting for automation, provisioning, reporting, and systems management
  • Expertise in DNS and DHCP administration, including Windows Server DNS roles, zone management, conditional forwarding, split-brain DNS, and DNSSEC
  • Experience with enterprise backup tools including NetApp; building DR environments and failover plans
  • Proficiency with virtualization platforms: VMware and/or Hyper-V
  • Experience managing and maintaining security patches across server and application estates
  • Experience migrating data across cloud, hybrid, and on-premises environments
  • Ability to plan, organize, and document complex system maintenance activities; configure systems consistent with institutional policies and procedures

  • Experience with Microsoft Office 365 administration including licensing, Exchange Online, and compliance
  • Experience with Microsoft Azure including Entra ID (formerly Azure AD), Conditional Access, PIM, and Azure resource management
  • Familiarity with setting up and configuring applications with Azure SSO or Google SSO (SAML, OIDC, OAuth 2.0)
AI Systems Engineering & Operations
  • Hands-on experience deploying, configuring, and administering large language model (LLM) platforms including Anthropic Claude (claude.ai, Claude API, Claude Code) and Google Gemini across enterprise environments
  • Experience architecting and administering MCP (Model Context Protocol) server infrastructure: deploying MCP server instances, configuring tool registries, managing connector ecosystems (Airtable, Atlassian, Google Drive, Gmail, and others), and integrating MCP servers with enterprise identity and access controls
  • Ability to design and enforce AI connector governance policies: scope management, permission auditing, credential lifecycle, and connector access reviews
  • Experience performing AI platform security assessments covering permission scopes, data flows, output validation pipelines, prompt injection defenses, and HITL (Human-in-the-Loop) controls
  • Familiarity with AI hardening principles: model access controls, rate limiting, WAF integration, API gateway configuration, session controls, and kill switch hierarchies for AI systems
  • Experience configuring and monitoring SIEM detection rules for AI platform activity and anomaly detection
  • Understanding of responsible AI deployment including data residency requirements, privacy-by-design, audit logging, and regulatory alignment (HIPAA, GDPR as applicable)
