Job description
Job SummaryWe are building our internal IT team and are hiring for two IT Systems Administrator roles. Both roles start from the same core foundation - hands-on Microsoft 365, cloud, and end-user support - and each will grow into a specialized track over the first 12-24 months, based on the strengths and interests we identify through the hiring process and your first months on the team:
- Track A - Cloud Infrastructure & Security: owning the security, reliability, and scalability of our Azure/M365 platform.
- Track B - Business Systems & Automation: building the tools, automations, and data/AI capabilities that help our teams work smarter.
