  • Help stabilize listservs, maintain monitoring systems, and support the buildout of a private cloud environment.
  • Participate in general data center operations, ensuring reliability, uptime, and environmental stability.

Documentation & Collaboration (20%)
  • Maintain runbooks, system diagrams, and operational documentation for configuration, patching, and incident response.
  • Follow established change management and problem resolution processes.
  • Collaborate closely with internal IT teams and provide professional, customer-focused support.

Projects & Professional Growth (10%)
  • Contribute to infrastructure modernization and automation initiatives, including patching and vulnerability management tools such as AutoBox and Rapid7.
  • Expand skills in scripting, infrastructure automation, and cloud administration (Azure, AWS).
  • Pursue growth within a clearly defined Systems Engineer career track (I ? II ? III) with associated salary advancement.

Education/Experience Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, or related field (or equivalent hands-on experience).
  • Practical experience with Linux systems administration (Red Hat strongly preferred) required.
  • Familiarity with virtualization and monitoring systems such as Nagios, SolarWinds, or WhatsUp Gold.
  • Understanding of data center operations, networking fundamentals, and patch management processes.
  • Strong troubleshooting, documentation, and communication skills.
  • Relevant certifications (CompTIA Linux+, Red Hat, Microsoft, AWS, etc.) a plus.

Why You'll Love This Opportunity
  • Work on mission-driven infrastructure projects that support public-sector services and operations.
  • Learn from senior engineers in a collaborative, hands-on environment.
  • Gain experience across Linux, virtualization, and private cloud technologies.
  • Defined career growth path with long-term conversion potential.
  • Excellent benefits upon full-time conversion - including pension-style retirement, competitive insurance, and potential tuition reimbursement.
