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.

-
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.
Qualifications:
