Thank you for taking time to take a look at the Systems Administrator role I posted here on LinkedIN, I appreciate it.

Allow me to introduce myself a bit for you. I have been recruiting technical talent for over 23 years and been in the tech sector since the 1990s. So, I am going to be far more focused on 'fit' than anything else. In addition, I realized - a while ago - that looking for work is not a Carnival...so, if I can make it easy, and perhaps even entertaining, I am going to be happy to do so. So, just a quick note...I am an actual real person posting this, not a bot, no AI...just a real live human. In addition, you can expect that responses from your application will also come from me...not a bot, not an ATS.

This role has a few very key social fit characteristics to it. So, allow me to explain those for you:

The words 'this is not my job' are not really something you will hear at this particular client. So, if you like to dive into stuff that may not be in your exact responsibilities list, that is precisely the kind of person we are seeking for this role.
This role is for that person that likes to try stuff and figures things out. Have you been in roles in your past where you had no previous knowledge of what you were going to be digging your fingers into? Then, you are right on target for what we are seeking.
Are you the kind of person that really likes to learn? If so, then (like with the two previous points) we are going to have the workings of a fit here. You will be given access to Pluralsight as well as a bunch of internal tools to learn new stuff...

For this role, we are ideally seeking individuals that are within driving distance to Hebron Kentucky. This role is being done in a hybrid manner....roughly 3 days onsite and 2 days remote. I am going to be honest here...if you are staunchly focused, solely on how many days onsite & how many days remote, you probably aren't the person for this role. In addition, there will be trips (once a month) to New York City where you will be traveling for - roughly - 2 days a month to New York City.

I can only work with US Citizens or Green Card Holders for this role. So, if you are an H1, OPT, EAD, STEM, F1, or other Visa holder and are not already a US Citizen or Green Card holder, we won't be able to work together for this role.

In addition, I am not working with external vendors or 3rd parties for this role.

For this role, you will be working with Systems Administration, AWS, Tanium, Intune, Microsoft 365, Storage, and Virtualization. The AWS and Tanium piece is the most important part o this role. You will evaluate, recommend, and implementing new technologies as well as serve as tier 3 escalation support. You won't be alone in this role. There is a team of 8 (you will be the 9th member of this team) Sys & Network admins and Sys & Network Engineers that you will be working with. This client has about 2,000 employees. However, from a user group perspective, there are roughly 1,600 across the US, Canada, UK / EU, India and the Philippines.

Here are some of those main responsibilities for this role:

Oversee internal infrastructure including data centers, networks, telephony, storage and end user computing.
Perform server administration across a mixed OS environment (Linux and Windows).
Provide support in problem prevention and resolution for complex infrastructure issues for enterprise infrastructure groups.
Manage and optimize AWS infrastructure including EC2, S3, VPC, IAM, and backups to ensure availability, performance, and security. This should also include performance tuning, patching, incident response & compliance.
Automate deployments and maintenance using scripting and Infrastructure-as-Code tools like CloudFormation or Terraform.
Administration and maintenance of endpoint management platforms such as Tanium to ensure secure configuration, patch compliance, and real-time visibility across all servers and workstations.
Manage Microsoft 365 and Azure AD administration, including user accounts, groups, permissions, and policy configuration to maintain secure and efficient operations.

Here are the things we are seeking in a candidate:

Experience managing Linux and Windows servers, automation scripting (Python, PowerShell, or Bash).
Familiarity with NIST, SOC 2, or PCI standards and implementation of least-privilege access controls.
At least 5 years of experience of Systems Administration experience (this is a must have / gotta have). The more experience, the better. However, I am going to be more interested in breadth and depth of experience than true 'years' of experience. So, if you have 5-6 years of Sys Admin experience where you were the only Sys Admin for an environment, that will be more important than someone with 9 years of experience...but was on a team of 20 Sys Admins.
Certifications like: Proxmox, VMWare, AWS: Cloud Practitioner, Solutions Architect, CloudOps Engineer, andSolutions Architect are things that the hiring manager is really seeking.
Other certs that we would like to see are: CompTIA Network+, ITIL, CompTIA Server+, Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA), CompTIA Security+, and Microsoft Certified Security Operations Analyst Associate.
