What you'll do
In a typical week, you'll be building and configuring environments, deploying application updates, executing database tasks, managing Active Directory, and resolving technical issues across the full three-tier stack — database servers, application servers, and web servers. No two weeks look the same.
Core Responsibilities:
Environment Management: Build and configure shared and client-specific environments including production, non-production, and disaster recovery systems
Server & Application Deployment: Perform server installations, configurations, deployments, and OS upgrades using Microsoft technologies (Windows Server 2012-2019, IIS)
Database Administration: Execute SQL Server tasks including database backup/restore, user permissions management, and T-SQL script deployment
Active Directory Management: Handle user and group creation, delegation, and domain environment administration
System Migration & Upgrades: Lead server and application migrations, ensuring minimal downtime and optimal performance
Automation & Scripting: Develop PowerShell scripts and system reports using SQL Report Builder to streamline operations and reduce manual work
Issue Resolution: Triage, analyze, and coordinate resolution of complex technical issues across applications hosted on various platforms
Client Support: Provide technical guidance and support to client IT teams, including after-hours support during critical releases and busy periods
Documentation & Compliance: Create and maintain technical documentation, service catalogs, and ensure security and performance standards
What makes this work interesting: You’ll own the full environment stack not just databases, not just servers, but the complete deployment pipeline. You’ll work on client migrations and modernization projects, troubleshoot complex multi-tier issues, and have immediate impact on mission-critical systems. You’ll also collaborate with client IT teams on strategic decisions about their infrastructure – this isn’t just “keep the lights on,” it’s helping clients succeed.
