• Travel between studio lots and/or reassignment may be required.

• Other infrastructure and technology projects as assigned.

• Minimum of 4 years' experience in IT infrastructure support, network administration, or systems engineering in a mid‑to‑large corporate environment (studio or entertainment industry experience a strong plus).

• Bachelor’s degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, or a related field—or an equivalent combination of education and hands‑on experience.

• Solid understanding of network fundamentals: TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, VLANs, firewall rules, VPN, and wireless networking; hands‑on experience configuring and troubleshooting managed switches, routers, and access points.
