  • Apply monthly patches to servers and network devices
  • Run and test backups, and do regular restore drills
  • Configure switches, VLANs, VPNs and firewall rules
  • Document network diagrams and change records

You'll need

  • Strong Windows Server, Active Directory and Microsoft 365 skills, or Linux for Linux posts
  • Willing to do standby and after-hours maintenance
  • Solid TCP/IP, routing, switching and firewall knowledge
  • At least 3 years in systems, network or cloud administration
  • Degree or diploma in IT, plus relevant certifications
  • Scripting in PowerShell, Bash or Python

Helpful, not essential

  • Experience with SIEM tools such as Microsoft Sentinel or Wazuh
