## Description

Qumulo is growing, and the internal systems our teams depend on need to grow with it. Demand for both on-prem and cloud deployments has jumped, and our IT team is scaling to keep the environment running smoothly and to automate the work that eats up everyone's time.
In this role you'll join a small team to deploy and maintain the infrastructure our engineers use to build Qumulo's products: Active Directory, Windows and Linux servers, virtualization and container environments, and cloud services across AWS, GCP, and Azure. You'll also take on improvement projects with the autonomy to set standards and decide how things get done.
As a Senior Systems Administrator at Qumulo, you will:
Deploy and maintain the systems our engineers rely on: network devices, storage appliances, servers, VMs, containers, and SaaS and cloud services across AWS, GCP, and Azure
Administer Active Directory, Windows and Linux application and database servers, and the monitoring, alerting, logging, and configuration management that keeps them healthy
Automate the manual, repetitive work that slows the team down using Python, Bash, and Ansible
Plan and run backup, disaster recovery, and business continuity
Set and communicate SLAs so internal users know what to expect and when
Write and maintain documentation for both your team and the people you support
Run routine hardware and software audits and follow security best practices to protect Qumulo's IP
Act as a technical lead on hard problems and challenge existing standards to make the IT experience better
