Jobcon Logo Job Description :

Systems Administrator/Engineer
Work Location: Santa Clara CA 95051 (onsite role)
Duration: 6-12 months contract with potential extension
Interview: Video followed by in-person
Local to Santa Clara/Sunnyvale Needed (relocation not workable)
10+ years of experience needed

Please see below update from Manager

  • How much % is this role into Linux and how much into Windows? 70% Linux vs 30% Window
  • Linux OS: Which Linux distributions are currently being used Red Hat (RHEL), CentOS, Ubuntu, or others? Practically all you can think off Redhat, Rocky, Fedora, Ubuntu, SuSe, Sles, Kylin, Debian
  • Windows Server: Which Windows Server versions are they currently running, are you looking for server-side experience or client-side experience? Both we have Windows servers and Windows desktop all latest versions
  • Also, our work environment is highly dynamic, and priorities and technical requirements can change quickly. What is true today may be different tomorrow. I expect a SysAdmin to have broad, well-rounded experience and, more importantly, the ability to adapt to changing needs regardless of whether their stronger background is in Linux or Windows.
  • The key is to find someone with solid overall system administration skills, a willingness to learn, and the ability to approach unfamiliar situations independently. I would expect candidates to demonstrate this level of flexibility rather than be limited by a particular OS specialization.

Position Overview:
We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated System Administrator (Contract) to assist our dynamic team. As a SysAdmin, you will play a critical role in ensuring the stability, security, and efficiency of our infrastructure. This position offers an exciting opportunity to work with cutting-edge technologies and contribute to the success of our high-tech initiatives.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Manage and maintain the infrastructure, including servers, network devices, storage systems, and virtualization platforms.
  • Install, configure, and troubleshoot operating systems, software applications, and hardware components.
  • Implement and maintain security measures to protect the company's data and systems from cyber threats and vulnerabilities.
  • Monitor system performance and reliability, identifying and resolving issues in a proactive manner to minimize downtime and ensure optimal performance.
  • Plan and execute system upgrades, migrations, and patch management activities, adhering to best practices and minimizing disruptions to business operations.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to support business initiatives, providing technical expertise and guidance for projects.
  • Develop and maintain documentation, including system configurations, procedures, and policies, to ensure effective knowledge transfer and compliance with regulatory requirements.
  • Provide technical support and assistance to end-users, resolving issues in a timely and efficient manner to ensure productivity and user satisfaction.
  • Participate in on-call rotation and respond to system emergencies outside of regular business hours as needed.


Qualifications:

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or related field, (or equivalent experience).
  • 10+ years of proven experience as a System Administrator or similar role in a high-tech environment.
  • Strong knowledge of Linux and/or Windows operating systems, as well as experience with virtualization technologies (e.g., VMware, Hyper-V).
  • Strong understanding of system hardware and remote management via IPMItool, iLO, iDRAC, etc
  • Proficiency in scripting languages such as PowerShell, Bash, or Python.
  • Familiarity with network protocols, security principles, and ITIL framework.
  • Excellent troubleshooting skills and attention to detail, with the ability to analyze complex technical issues and implement effective solutions.
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively with team members and stakeholders at all levels.
  • Relevant certifications (e.g., CompTIA Security+, Microsoft Certified: Azure Administrator, VMware Certified Professional) are a plus
