20 Sai Systems Jobs Hiring Near You

The Systems Administrator is responsible for independently executing and owning technical work across managed services and projects. This role is expected to take full ownership of assigned tickets, client environments, and projects, from intake through resolution, with limited day-to-day oversight.

The role operates within technical standards, architectures, and security baselines defined by the Technical Director, but is trusted to make sound technical decisions, prioritize work, and drive outcomes independently. Escalation is expected only for true exceptions, ambiguity in standards, or elevated risk.

Success in this role is measured by customer satisfaction, the ability to close tickets and complete projects autonomously, deliver consistent quality, proactively identify issues, and reduce the need for rework or intervention.

· Client expectations conflict with approved scope or architecture

· Support incident response activities and post-incident remediation

· Ensure client environments align with supported compliance frameworks (CMMC, ISO, NIST, etc.)

· Assist in maintaining accurate technical risk data for assigned environments

Operational Excellence

· Follow and reinforce change control and configuration management processes

· Reduce repeat incidents by addressing root causes, not symptoms

· Make recommendations for process improvement

Team Support & Mentorship

· Provide technical guidance and mentoring to junior engineers

· Lead by example in technical discipline, documentation, and accountability

Sales & Pre-Sales Support

· Support sales efforts by validating technical feasibility of proposed solutions

· Assist in estimating delivery effort and identifying implementation risks

· Escalate non-standard or high-risk requests to the Technical Director

Documentation & Knowledge Management

· Ensure configurations, diagrams, and procedures are complete and usable

· Contribute to internal knowledge base and runbooks

· Participate in documentation audits as required

Reporting & Communication

· Report delivery risks and recurring issues to the Technical Director

· Provide status updates on assigned projects and client environments

· Surface patterns that indicate systemic issues or future risk

Required Qualifications
