Systems Administrator 3

The Role in One Sentence

You architect the large-scale infrastructure our customers ride on, set the automation and security standards the team builds to, and you’re the last call when something critical breaks.

What You’ll Actually Do

This is the senior technical seat for our broadband, voice, and IPTV infrastructure.

You design enterprise-scale server, virtualization, and storage environments; make core ISP services — DHCP, DNS, RADIUS, VoIP, authentication, and provisioning — highly available and redundant; and build the automation and orchestration frameworks that let the whole team move faster with less manual work.

You’re a technical authority and a force multiplier.

You lead the hardest infrastructure projects, own security and compliance programs, act as the highest escalation point for critical incidents, and shape long-term infrastructure strategy — all while mentoring the administrators coming up behind you.

If you want to set direction rather than follow it, this is that role.

Rate: $101,000 - $120,000 annually

Reports to: VP, Business Technology

Position Type: Full-time

What a Typical Week Looks Like

No two weeks are identical, but roughly:


* ~30% — Architecture & infrastructure strategy.

Designing and optimizing enterprise server, virtualization, and storage environments and core ISP services for scale and resilience.


* ~25% — Automation & orchestration frameworks.

Building tools and pipelines (Ansible, Terraform, Python) that standardize deployments and eliminate manual work.


* ~20% — Security, compliance & DR.

Leading vulnerability management, incident response, compliance (FCC, PCI, SOC 2), and disaster-recovery and business-continuity strategy.


* ~15% — Escalation & root cause.

Serving as the top technical escalation point for critical, large-impact incidents.


* ~10% — Leadership & reporting.

Mentoring administrators and producing executive-level architecture diagrams, post-mortems, and recommendations.

Working with AI

We treat modern AI tools as part of how strong administrators and engineers work today.

You’re encouraged to use AI assistants to accelerate scripting, draft and review automation, generate documentation, and speed up troubleshooting.

What matters to us is sound engineering judgment and reliable systems — not whether a human or a model wrote the first draft.

What You’ll Own

Architecture & scale

Architect and oversee enterprise server and infrastructure environments — Windows, Linux, and Unix servers, virtualization platforms, and storage.

Design and improve mission-critical ISP services for high availability and redundancy at large customer scale.

Automation & orchestration

Build advanced automation and orchestration frameworks — tools, pipelines, and processes using Ansible, Terraform, and Python — that standard...
