About the role

**ACTIVE TS/SCI SECURITY CLEARANCE WITH CI POLYGRAPH REQUIRED**

Systems Administrator – Night Shift 

Wed (Alt) – Sat, 5:30 PM – 5:30 AM ET 

Help make tomorrow smarter—and safer.
We're looking for a mission-driven Systems Administrator to join our Team and support critical national security operations. If you're a night owl who thrives in a fast-paced, 24/7 environment and wants your work to truly matter, this is your chance to contribute to something bigger.

What You’ll Do & Why It Matters

As a key member of our 24x7 Operations Support team, you’ll monitor and manage a wide range of infrastructure and systems that support critical intelligence missions across CONUS and OCONUS. This isn’t just another admin role—you’ll be hands-on with complex systems and have a direct impact on uptime, availability, and mission readiness.

In this role, you’ll:

  • Proactively monitor infrastructure and cloud resources to ensure SLA compliance

  • Triage and troubleshoot issues across Windows, Linux, virtual machines, storage, and networks

  • Administer virtualized environments (vCenter, VMs, high-availability systems)

  • Own and escalate incidents through the full lifecycle using ITSM tools (ServiceNow)

  • Execute and track infrastructure changes through a structured change management process

  • Partner with vendors on maintenance and hardware replacements

  • Maintain accurate documentation, SOPs, and trend reports for leadership and partners

  • Continuously identify and suggest improvements to systems and processes

What Makes You a Great Fit

We’re looking for someone who’s not only technically capable, but team-first and mission-focused. You’re the kind of person who steps up, owns problems, and always asks, “How can I help?”

You’re a great fit if you:

  • Have 3+ years of hands-on experience in systems administration

  • Excel at troubleshooting and resolving tier 2+ issues in virtual environments

  • Are detail-oriented and thrive in complex, high-tempo environments

  • Take pride in professionalism, integrity, and clear communication

  • Stay coachable and eager to learn—you’re hungry to grow technically and professionally

  • Understand the value of process (ITIL, SLA compliance, change management)

What You Bring to the Table

  • Education: Bachelor’s in IT or related field—or equivalent combination of experience and certifications

  • Certifications: Must meet DoD 8140 IAT Level II or higher (Security+ or similar)

  • Technical Skills:

    • Strong experience with virtualized systems (VMware/vCenter)

    • Familiarity with Linux and Windows administration

    • Knowledge of enterprise monitoring tools (e.g., Splunk, Nagios, BMC)

    • Experience with ITSM platforms, preferably ServiceNow

    • Awareness of cross-functional IT disciplines and infrastructure

  • Clearance: Must be a U.S. Citizen and hold an active TS/SCI with CI polygraph

Bonus Points For:

  • ITIL v4 certification or familiarity with the framework

  • Experience supporting thin client provisioning

  • Knowledge of cloud monitoring and SLA management
