Job Description

Systems Administrator/Scripting Engineer to manage the
installation, configuration, monitoring, and patching of applications in a Windows environment. The initial
objective of this position is to ensure that all applications software packages are sufficiently patched to
remove any vulnerabilities to the environment. In addition, and equally important, is to utilize PowerShell
scripting to automate patch management and verification, manage and maintain scheduled tasks, extract
logs, validate configurations, and streamline compliance reporting and Active Directory management
tasks.
The ideal candidate will have expertise in command line scripting (PowerShell), Windows Server, Active
Directory, SSO (Single Sign-On), ADFS (Active Directory Federation Services). While this role does not
involve direct server administration, experience managing Windows Server and Active Directory is
essential. Experience with Azure cloud services and containerization technologies (Docker/Kubernetes) is
also required.
This position will eventually transition to a DevOps engineer role and as such the experience to support
that role is listed under the preferred skills section below.

We are an equal opportunity employer that believes everyone matters.
