Founded in 2008, DMA Industries, LLC has grown into a leading supplier of automotive aftermarket parts across North America. Our success is driven by innovation, entrepreneurial thinking, collaboration, and an unwavering commitment to operational excellence.

This is an ideal opportunity for a technically strong professional who enjoys solving complex infrastructure problems, improving systems, and taking ownership of projects from planning through completion.

  • Maintain configuration backups, change records, network diagrams, and infrastructure documentation.
  • Follow established change-control procedures for all infrastructure changes.
Security, Patching & Operational Hygiene
  • Administer and support endpoint protection, patch management, vulnerability management, and other infrastructure security initiatives.
  • Assist the IT Manager in maintaining and improving DMA's overall cybersecurity posture.
  • Approach infrastructure changes with an audit-first mindset by appropriately scoping, testing, documenting, and preparing rollback plans before major changes.
  • Maintain strict privileged-access and credential-management standards.
  • Protect sensitive credentials by using DMA's approved credential-management solution.
  • Ensure credentials are never improperly shared, hard-coded, stored in plaintext, or maintained outside approved systems and procedures.
Backup, Disaster Recovery & Automation
  • Support backup and disaster recovery operations across DMA's infrastructure.
  • Understand and apply appropriate recovery methods, including bare-metal, system-state, and domain-controller-safe restoration.
  • Assist with disaster recovery testing and validation to ensure backups can be successfully restored when needed.
  • Develop, maintain, and improve PowerShell automation to increase efficiency and consistency.
  • Favor read-only data collection and validation before implementing state-changing automation or infrastructure changes.
Documentation, Support & Collaboration
  • Create and maintain technical runbooks, configuration records, network documentation, asset information, and other IT documentation according to DMA standards.
  • Ensure critical knowledge is documented and accessible to the broader IT team rather than residing with a single individual.
  • Provide escalation-level technical support to the Helpdesk team.
  • Mentor and support junior IT team members in systems administration, networking, and troubleshooting fundamentals.
  • Communicate effectively with employees, department leaders, and executive leadership.
  • Translate technical issues, risks, and recommendations into clear business terms.
