  • Analyze logs, performance trends, capacity metrics, and security alerts to anticipate service degradation and recommend infrastructure improvements and optimization actions.
  • Lead technical incident response, root-cause analysis, corrective-action planning, and restoration activities for high-priority outages or security events, coordinating across technical teams.
  • Review system changes, technical designs, operating procedures, and implementation plans for risk, supportability, security, and recoverability, providing senior technical guidance.
  • Mentor junior administrators, coordinate work across technical teams, and serve as a senior escalation point during on-call operations to ensure continuous platform availability.

Required Qualifications

  • 7-10 years of progressively responsible experience in systems administration or infrastructure engineering, including advanced work with enterprise Windows, Linux, and virtualized/cloud environments.
  • Demonstrated experience administering and securing mission-critical systems in an enterprise or federal IT environment, including backup/recovery, patch management, and configuration management.
  • Strong expertise in scripting and automation (e.g., PowerShell, Bash, Python) to streamline provisioning, patching, monitoring, and compliance tasks.
  • Proven ability to perform root-cause analysis and resolve complex hardware, software, and networking issues with minimal supervision.
  • Must have a current TS/SCI clearance; U.S. citizenship required for the role.
  • Experience working in on-call or 24/7 support models for high-availability infrastructures.

Preferred Qualifications
