Job description

Job Description :

We are seeking a dedicated System Administrator / Server Engineer to join our tight-knit IT team. This is an onsite position-no remote or hybrid options. The ideal candidate is professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and takes pride in their work. You will play a key role in a complex Windows-based environment, helping to modernize, stabilize, and secure our infrastructure.

Key Responsibilities :

  • Administer and engineer server environments using VMware and Windows Server 2019 (with upcoming migration to Windows Server 2025).
  • Support a primarily Windows-based infrastructure (minimal SQL Server involvement; mostly basic management).
  • Participate in a major infrastructure "lift and shift," including ordering new hardware, setting up fresh installs, and migrating or rebuilding Active Directory.
  • Evaluate, document, and recommend solutions for legacy issues-propose actionable improvements, not just identify problems.
  • Collaborate with a small, skilled team (help desk, server admins, security) in a highly visible, client-facing environment.
  • Maintain a professional appearance : business casual required (e.g., golf shirt or equivalent; no suits, but also no t-shirts with stains or inappropriate graphics).
  • Demonstrate initiative and accountability : take ownership, deliver timely responses, and show passion for IT excellence.
  • Contribute to a positive, creative, and artsy company culture while upholding high standards for your own work and the team.

Requirements :

  • Proven experience as a System Administrator, Server Engineer, or similar role in a Windows / VMware environment.
  • Strong knowledge of Active Directory, Windows Server, and virtualization (VMware).
  • Experience with network technologies (Cisco and / or Unity) is a plus.
  • Ability to assess, document, and improve IT systems-bring ideas and solutions, not just problems.
  • Professional communication skills and the ability to interact with a variety of stakeholders, including executives and clients1.
  • Commitment to maintaining a professional work environment.
  • Self-motivated, reliable, and passionate about IT; able to work independently without micromanagement.

    • Team & Environment :

  • Work alongside other professionals in a collaborative, supportive setting.
  • Company culture is relaxed and creative, but the IT team maintains a high standard of professionalism and urgency.
  • Direct impact and visibility-a small team means your contributions matter
