- Support infrastructure upgrades, migrations, patching, and modernization initiatives.
- Automate administrative tasks using PowerShell.
- Maintain system documentation, operating procedures, and recovery guides.
- Collaborate with Technology teams across multiple regions.
- Support a hybrid environment as the organization continues its longer-term transition toward cloud technologies.
Systems & Resilience Engineer Qualifications:
- 3 to 7+ years of enterprise systems administration or infrastructure engineering experience.
- Strong Windows Server administration experience.
- Strong Active Directory and Group Policy knowledge.
- Hands-on VMware experience.
- Experience with enterprise backup, replication, recovery, and disaster recovery.

- Strong troubleshooting and root-cause analysis skills.
- Ability to communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Experience with Cohesity, Zerto, LogicMonitor, Azure, or similar technologies is highly valued.
- Bachelor's degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, or related field preferred. Equivalent professional experience will be considered.
This is an opportunity to join a growing Technology organization during a significant modernization effort while playing an important role in maintaining the infrastructure that supports the business today.
