Senior IT Systems Administrator

Were adding a Senior IT Systems Administrator to our team! We seek people who are a little better than the rest a little smarter, more insightful, more ambitious, and a lot more fun. We hire good people and give them a good place to work. Our secrets to keeping them around are a positive culture, strong community involvement, and a dedication to continuous improvement.

Whats in it for you?

Besides competitive compensation and benefits, you would join a team of critical thinkers with high levels of technical curiosity. We have a great time digging into technical problems and opportunities in our environment. We sometimes divide and conquer, but we also love to put our heads together. In this role you will be actively leading technology projects and collaborating with other team members.

You would have ample opportunity to expand your skills and knowledge. Big projects going on in the foreseeable future include single sign-on deployment, MFA deployment, implementation of new security policies, VLAN reconfiguration, broad adoption of MS Endpoint Manager, implementation of new detection and response technology (EDR/MDR), and a Document Management System migration.

Work location and schedule are flexible, although preference may be given to those who live within commuting distance to our downtown Portland office so they can maintain equipment in our server room. Provided youre flexible for business needs, you can decide whether your long-term work arrangement will be primarily remote, in-office, or hybrid.
