Sr. Systems Administrator

WHAT YOU'LL DO

We are seeking an experienced and dedicated Senior Systems Administrator to join our Corporate IT team. In this role, you will be responsible for the design, implementation, maintenance, and support of our company's IT infrastructure and services. You will play a key role in ensuring the reliability, security, and efficiency of our systems, contributing to the overall success of our business operations.  The ideal candidate thrives in a collaborative team environment, but is equally comfortable working independently with minimal supervision.

• Own end-to-end responsibility for IT infrastructure, including servers, backups, storage, and other critical systems, from strategic planning to hands-on implementation and optimization
• Lead the design and architecture of new site builds, including physical and virtual environments
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver secure, scalable infrastructure solutions
• Conduct deep analysis of system logs to identify and resolve complex issues
• Serve as an escalation point, offering technical guidance to Support Engineers
• Provide on-site and remote technical support for both system and network level troubleshooting as needed

• Minimum of 5 years of experience in systems administration
• Proven experience architecting, designing, building and deploying virtualization technologies such as VMware, Hyper-V, etc.
• Experience architecting, designing, building and deploying storage and backup solutions and strategies for enterprise environments such as Veeam, NAS/SAN, etc.
• Proven experience managing and deploying both Windows and Linux servers
• Proficiency with major cloud provider platforms such as GCP and AWS
• Ability to automate tasks using PowerShell, Python, Go, or other scripting languages
• Demonstrated ability to identify and implement automation opportunities for scalability and efficiency
• Advanced working knowledge of Active Directory, DNS, DHCP, and Group Policy
• Deep understanding of email systems, including sending infrastructure, deliverability, authentication protocols (SPF, DKIM, DMARC), and client-side rendering behavior
• Security-conscious by default — you build with threat modeling, data protection, and least privilege in mind
• Excellent communication and documentation skills with a collaborative approach to cross-functional engineering work

• Investing in our employee’s professional growth is important to us, but so is investing in their well-being. That’s why Viant was voted one of the best places to work and some of our favorite employee benefits include fully paid health insurance, paid parental leave and unlimited PTO and more.
