System Administrator

You are a Systems Administrator to support our growing team in a fast-paced, engineering-driven environment. This is a hands-on, broad-scope role that spans both on-prem infrastructure and Microsoft 365 / Azure environments, ensuring our systems are secure, reliable, and built for scale. You’ll work closely with our engineering, IT, and operations teams to support critical business systems and technical workloads — from cloud identity management to high-performance engineering desktops and simulation clusters. This role blends deep technical work with IT Service Management (ITSM) process development, helping build a scalable, high-performing IT foundation. 

Location: Onsite in Los Angeles, CA

 What you will be doing:

• Design, deploy, and maintain on-prem infrastructure, including Linux and Windows servers, storage, networking, and virtualization. 
• Administer and optimize Microsoft 365 and Azure services (Azure AD, Intune, Exchange Online, SharePoint, Teams). 
• Manage identity, access, endpoint compliance, and system security across hybrid environments. 
• Implement and maintain monitoring and alerting systems across on-prem and cloud platforms (e.g., Datadog, Grafana, Prometheus, Splunk, Azure Monitor). 
• Support engineering and simulation applications (CAD, CAM, CFD) on both Windows and Linux platforms — ensuring uptime, performance, and license management. 
• Automate operational workflows and provisioning using PowerShell, Python, or similar scripting tools. 
• Contribute to ITSM initiatives, including incident, change, and configuration management processes. 
• Collaborate cross-functionally to deploy and maintain critical infrastructure and applications. 
• Participate in helpdesk and escalation support — we operate as an all-hands-on-deck team. 

What you bring:

• 5+ years of experience as a System Administrator or equivalent technical role. 
• Hands-on experience with both Linux and Windows servers in hybrid (on-prem + cloud) environments. 
• Strong background managing on-prem infrastructure — servers, virtualization, storage, and networking. 
• Deep expertise in Microsoft 365, Azure AD, Intune, and Exchange Online. 
• Proficiency in identity management, endpoint security, and monitoring and alerting systems. 
• Solid troubleshooting and problem-solving skills across diverse systems. 
• Excellent communication and documentation skills. 
• Interest in structured operations and ITSM best practices. 

Preferred Skills and Experience:

• Experience in aerospace, defense, or other regulated technical environments. 
• Familiarity with GCC High or FedRAMP environments. 
• Experience supporting engineering software such as SolidWorks, CATIA, ANSYS, or Siemens NX. 
• Knowledge of VMware, Hyper-V, and enterprise storage or networking design. 
• Experience with automation/scripting (PowerShell, Python, Bash). 
• Background in ITIL, service delivery, or process implementation.
