Senior Systems Administrator - New York, NY (On-site)
Our client is a small family owned financial services organization operating in a fast-paced, high-touch enterprise environment. They are looking for a dedicated technology professional to drive continuous improvement, stability, and reliability across their corporate office environments.
In this role as a Senior Systems Administrator, you will serve as a hands-on technical leader and the day-to-day owner of IT operations. Working closely with engineering management, you will provide deep technical expertise across a robust Windows and Microsoft cloud infrastructure. Crucially, this role requires a true "no task is too small" mentality; you will drive high-level infrastructure engineering initiatives while remaining happy and willing to roll up your sleeves to resolve foundational desktop and end-user support tickets as needed.
Requirements
Extensive experience with Windows Server administration (Active Directory, DNS, DHCP, Group Policy, Hyper-V).
Deep proficiency in Microsoft Cloud environments, specifically Azure (Entra ID, Virtual Machines, Storage, Networking) and M365.
Hands-on experience managing multi-domain forests, multi-site setups, and hybrid AD environments.
Proficiency in Linux administration (specifically Debian and Fedora).
Strong automation and scripting skills, particularly with PowerShell.
Working knowledge of endpoint management solutions, enterprise WiFi (e.g., Aruba), and network/security fundamentals.
Proven willingness to handle everyday tier-1 and tier-2 desktop support alongside senior engineering tasks.
Previous experience operating in financial services or a similarly demanding enterprise setting.
Responsibilities
Own the day-to-day administration of both on-premise and cloud infrastructure across Windows and Linux environments.
Troubleshoot complex systems issues and perform root-cause analysis to prevent recurring problems.
Jump in to assist with foundational IT support tasks, eagerly handling everyday end-user requests and desktop troubleshooting when required.
Provide high-touch, executive-level technical support while managing ticket handling and escalation procedures.
Create, standardize, and maintain clear IT documentation, SOPs, and runbooks.
Train, mentor, and provide ongoing feedback to build the technical capabilities of junior team members.
Manage backup, disaster recovery, and business continuity planning initiatives while participating in an on-call rotation.
This on-site position offers a highly competitive base salary ranging from $175,000 to $225,000, commensurate with experience. You will also receive an excellent benefits package that includes an annual discretionary bonus, fully paid health insurance, and generous PTO. If you are a process-driven problem solver who thrives under pressure and takes extreme ownership of your work-from the server room to the user's desk-apply today to step into this critical role.
