Description
Description NetFire is looking for a capable, customer-focused Windows Systems Administrator to help manage and optimize the Windows server and network infrastructure that powers our clients' day-to-day operations. This role sits at the intersection of hands-on engineering and customer service: you'll be the person clients trust when something breaks, when something needs to be built, and when something needs to be made faster, safer, or more reliable.

Responsibilities: Provide customer-facing technical support through help desk, phone, and live chat, with a focus on professionalism, clarity, and SLA adherence.

Perform system patching, updates, and security enhancements on servers and workstations during established maintenance windows. Conduct regular system audits, covering permission reviews, account audits, event log analysis, and configuration compliance checks. Work with Veeam Backup & Replication to configure jobs, monitor backup health, perform restores, and contribute to disaster recovery planning. Use PowerShell to automate routine tasks, generate reports, and maintain environments efficiently. Assist with installation, configuration, and maintenance of servers, networking devices, and other infrastructure components. Monitor system health, performance, and security using monitoring tools, performance counters, and event logs, proactively addressing issues before they escalate. Create and maintain detailed documentation for system configurations, runbooks, procedures, and troubleshooting steps. Participate in after-hours support when required for maintenance windows, urgent operational needs, or system outages. Benefits: Salary: Full-time, salaried position with commission structure. Comprehensive Benefits: Includes Health, Dental, Vision, Long-Term Disability, and Life Insurance. Vacation: Paid Time Off provided. Retirement: 401k plan with company matching.
