- Oversee patch management, system upgrades, and lifecycle replacement of servers, workstations, and network hardware.
- Monitor system performance and capacity, proactively identifying and resolving bottlenecks or failures.
- Administer core enterprise applications, directory services, and cloud infrastructure (e.g., Microsoft 365, Azure, AWS).
- Provide Tier 3 technical support and serve as an escalation point for complex infrastructure issues.
- Monitor security information and event management (SIEM) tools, firewalls, and intrusion detection/prevention systems for anomalous activity.
- Conduct regular vulnerability assessments and coordinate remediation with system owners and administrators.
- Support incident response activities, including detection, containment, eradication, and post-incident review.
- Develop, review, and enforce security policies, standards, and procedures in alignment with industry frameworks (e.g., NIST, CIS, ISO 27001).
- Support internal and external security audits, risk assessments, and regulatory compliance efforts (e.g., HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2, as applicable).
- Perform security awareness training and phishing simulation programs for staff.
- Evaluate and recommend new security tools, technologies, and best practices to strengthen the organization's security posture.
- Maintain accurate documentation of systems, configurations, security controls, and standard operating procedures.
- Mentor and provide technical guidance to junior systems administrators and IT support staff.
- Participate in an on-call rotation for after-hours system and security incidents.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams on IT projects, infrastructure upgrades, and security initiatives.
