About the job
We're looking for a technically capable, process-minded IT/systems administrator to own our cloud infrastructure and internal IT operations. You'll be the go-to person for keeping our systems reliable, secure, and well-documented — and you'll have real latitude to improve how things work. This is a remote-friendly role that suits someone who thinks like a developer but operates like a sysadmin.

Systems & application administration
- Support and maintain LAMP stack environments (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP)

- Manage secrets and credentials using tools such as AWS Secrets Manager or similar vaults
IT operations & support
- Own the employee lifecycle for IT: onboarding/offboarding, hardware provisioning, and software licensing
- Maintain a device management program (MDM) for company-issued laptops and endpoints
- Provide escalation-level support for internal staff on infrastructure, access, and tooling issues
- Manage vendor relationships for software subscriptions and IT services
DevOps & process improvement
- Bring a DevOps mindset to internal tooling — automate repetitive tasks and reduce manual toil
- Maintain and improve CI/CD pipeline infrastructure where applicable
