Remote Kronos System Administrator Jobs in Seattle, WA

Job Description

You will report to the Sr. Director of IT Infrastructure and participate in the weekly IT on-call rotation. System patching is performed once a month on a Sunday.

Job Responsibilities:

• Administer Intune and JAMF MDM for the Windows and Mac endpoint fleets.
• Maintain the IT asset lifecycle and inventory in SnipeIT.
• Administer backups with Veeam, ExaGrid, and Wasabi cloud storage targets, and validate recoverability through regular restore testing.
• Maintain and tune Zabbix monitoring; respond to alerts and act before small issues become outages.
• Build and maintain Ansible playbooks to automate configuration management and routine maintenance.
• Configure, monitor, and maintain patch management systems to ensure network and systems integrity, including patching of production and development servers once a month on a Sunday.
• Maintain the security of Vimly's information systems through implementation of virus prevention/detection/cleaning and security procedures; monitor event logs and alerts; provide input on changes to policies and procedures in these areas.
• Administer SFTP services supporting secure carrier and partner data exchange; handle protected health information in accordance with HIPAA and Vimly security policies.
• Provide second-level technical support and troubleshooting to employees and workgroups for hardware and software; serve as an escalation point for the Help Desk.
• Provide consultation and training on technology use and computer applications to Vimly's employees and departments.
• Provide documentation, project tracking, and management reporting; evaluate, recommend, and implement changes to current and future system requirements to meet the organization's needs.
• Adhere to Vimly's core values, code of conduct, and all policies, procedures, and protocols.
• Demonstrate and maintain a high degree of professionalism, and support Vimly's customer service standards.

Qualifications:

• BA/BS degree in computer engineering or related field. Equivalent work experience in information technology, minimum of three (3) years, accepted in place of Bachelors.
• 3+ years of hands-on system administration experience with the technologies mentioned throughout the above job description, including Windows Server, Hyper-V, Microsoft 365, and enterprise backup, monitoring, and MDM platforms.
• Working knowledge of AWS services, including EC2 and VPCs; experience with Terraform or other infrastructure-as-code tools a plus.
• Proven track record working independently with little day-to-day direction, including prioritizing competing requests and driving issues to resolution.
• Experience with planning and implementation of complex projects which should demonstrate creativity, sound judgment, and a command of the field's concepts, practices, and procedures.
• Working knowledge of security and compliance practices; familiarity with HIPAA strongly preferred.
• Relevant certifications (e.g., Microsoft, CompTIA Security+, Okta) a plus.
• Able to participate in the weekly IT on-call rotation and perform monthly system patching on a Sunday.
