## Description

Responsible for the design, implementation, and maintenance of enterprise IT infrastructure alongside proactive management of the organization's information security posture. This position combines hands-on systems administration - servers, networks, storage, and virtualization - with security analysis duties including vulnerability management, threat monitoring, incident response, and compliance support. The ideal candidate is a seasoned IT professional who can operate independently, mentor junior staff, and serve as a technical escalation point for both infrastructure and security matters.

 * Administer, configure, and maintain Windows and/or Linux server environments, including Active Directory, DNS, DHCP, and Group Policy.
 * Manage virtualization platforms (e.g., VMware, Hyper-V) and associated storage and backup infrastructure.
 * Oversee patch management, system upgrades, and lifecycle replacement of servers, workstations, and network hardware.
 * Monitor system performance and capacity, proactively identifying and resolving bottlenecks or failures.
 * Administer core enterprise applications, directory services, and cloud infrastructure (e.g., Microsoft 365, Azure, AWS).
 * Provide Tier 3 technical support and serve as an escalation point for complex infrastructure issues.
 * Monitor security information and event management (SIEM) tools, firewalls, and intrusion detection/prevention systems for anomalous activity.
 * Conduct regular vulnerability assessments and coordinate remediation with system owners and administrators.
 * Support incident response activities, including detection, containment, eradication, and post-incident review.
 * Develop, review, and enforce security policies, standards, and procedures in alignment with industry frameworks (e.g., NIST, CIS, ISO 27001).
 * Support internal and external security audits, risk assessments, and regulatory compliance efforts (e.g., HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2, as applicable).
 * Perform security awareness training and phishing simulation programs for staff.
 * Evaluate and recommend new security tools, technologies, and best practices to strengthen the organization's security posture.
 * Maintain accurate documentation of systems, configurations, security controls, and standard operating procedures.
 * Mentor and provide technical guidance to junior systems administrators and IT support staff.
 * Participate in an on-call rotation for after-hours system and security incidents.
 * Collaborate with cross-functional teams on IT projects, infrastructure upgrades, and security initiatives.
