Senior Systems Administrator

Apply Description As a Senior Systems Administrator, you will keep our infrastructure running like a Swiss watch — resilient, secure, and automated. In this role, you’ll be responsible for maintaining system health, automating routine ops tasks, archiving critical data, and serving as the go-to escalation point for all major IT issues. You’ll balance daily hands-on work with longer-term planning for system efficiency, scalability, and disaster recovery. This role is ideal for a tech-savvy problem solver who thrives in fast-paced environments and isn’t afraid to get deep in the logs when things get weird. Responsibilities Maintain and monitor critical systems, including job schedulers, backup processes, and automated data flows. Troubleshoot and resolve system, network, and application issues, escalating as needed— or more likely, being the person issues get escalated. Manage archiving and long-term storage of logs, documents, and other key records in compliance with internal policies and regulatory standards. Automate routine tasks (backups, deployments, etc.) using scripts and configuration management tools (e.g., PowerShell). Act as primary escalation point for IT support— including system outages, service degradations, and urgent user-impacting incidents. Monitor system performance and capacity trends, recommending and implementing optimizations. Collaborate with development, security, and DevOps teams. Maintain documentation for configurations, procedures, and troubleshooting guides. Participate in on-call rotation for critical incidents. Establish and maintain high standards of operational processes, driving efficiency and minimizing risks. Create opportunities for team members to share knowledge, insights, and best practices, promoting a culture of learning and knowledge transfer. Other duties as assigned. Requirements 5+ years in system administration or IT infrastructure roles. Deep experience with Windows and/or environments. Strong scripting skills (PowerShell, Python, Bash, or similar).

Comfortable working in hybrid or cloud environments (AWS, Azure, or GCP). Strong troubleshooting and diagnostic abilities. Excellent communication and documentation skills. Experience supporting compliance (SOC2, PCI, etc.) a plus. Ability to work within CorServ's footprint (AL, FL, GA, IA, KY, NE, NC, TN, TX, WI, WY).
