Senior Systems Administrator
Scale Computing builds edge computing, virtualization, and hyperconverged infrastructure that keeps critical applications running wherever our customers operate, from data centers to thousands of remote sites. We make IT simpler, more resilient, and easier to manage at scale, and we hold ourselves to the same standard internally.
About the role
We're hiring a Senior Systems Administrator to own the reliability, security, and performance of the infrastructure our teams depend on every day.

- Own identity and access management (Active Directory, Entra ID/Azure AD, SSO, MFA) and enforce least-privilege practices
- Design and maintain backup, disaster recovery, and business continuity plans, and test them on a regular schedule
- Monitor system health and respond to incidents, leading root-cause analysis and preventing repeat issues
- Automate repetitive tasks and configuration using PowerShell, Bash, Python, or infrastructure-as-code tools
- Partner with Security on vulnerability remediation, hardening, audit evidence, and compliance requirements
- Lead infrastructure projects such as migrations, platform upgrades, and new tool rollouts from scoping through delivery
- Maintain clear documentation, runbooks, and network and system diagrams
- Mentor junior administrators and serve as the senior escalation point for the IT team
