This role is designed for a well-rounded IT professional with a comprehensive background across the technical stack, from endpoint management to networking.

Reporting to the Director of Security Operations, you will bridge the gap between high-level security policy and hands-on technical execution.

We Are Looking For People Who Have:

  • Significant experience across the IT landscape, including Desktop Management, Networking, or Multi-tier Technical Support.
  • A strong understanding of security protocols, SIEM operations, and systems administration within an enterprise environment.
  • Practical knowledge of how to leverage AI/LLMs to enhance productivity, preferably with the ability to build AI agents or automated workflows to simplify security data analysis.
  • Technical familiarity with managing and securing Microsoft, macOS, and Linux environments.
  • The ability to interpret security reports, identify trends, and translate findings into actionable mitigations.
  • Proven ability to interface with cross-functional IT teams and management to communicate risk and implement solutions.
  • A degree in a related field or a combination of professional certifications and relevant work experience in a technical support or admin role.

Nice to Have:

  • Experience administrating vulnerability scanning platforms (Tenable), the Microsoft Security suite (Defender for Endpoint/Cloud), and SIEM log ingestion (Sentinel).
  • Foundational knowledge of firewall management (Palo Alto, Cisco, etc.) and network security architecture.
  • Industry certifications such as Security+, GSEC, or CCNA.
  • Experience operating within a 24/7 high-availability or Higher Education environment.

What We Offer:

  • Modern Work Model: A flexible hybrid schedule featuring three days of collaborative onsite work and two days of remote focus.
  • Retirement & Future: Leading retirement benefits with an 8% employer contribution.
  • Comprehensive Leave: 22 vacation days and 15 sick days allotted annually.
  • Healthcare: Premium medical and dental coverage with low employee contributions.
  • Educational Growth: Tuition benefits for you and your eligible family members/partners.
