Senior Systems Administrator

As a Senior Systems Administrator, you will keep our infrastructure running like a Swiss watch — resilient, secure, and automated. In this role, you’ll be responsible for maintaining system health, automating routine ops tasks, archiving critical data, and serving as the go-to escalation point for all major IT issues. You’ll balance daily hands-on work with longer-term planning for system efficiency, scalability, and disaster recovery. This role is ideal for a tech-savvy problem solver who thrives in fast-paced environments and isn’t afraid to get deep in the logs when things get weird.
