Welcome to a Truly Inclusive Workplace

Imagine logging in each morning and feeling genuinely valued for who you are, not just the skills you bring. At our company, we donโ€™t just talk about being an inclusive workplaceโ€”we live it. Every voice matters, every background is welcomed, and every achievement is celebrated together. As a Remote Systems and Security Administrator, youโ€™ll join a diverse team dedicated to supporting one another and safeguarding the technology that helps our global colleagues do their best work. Here, youโ€™ll be empowered to grow, connect, and make an impactโ€”no matter where youโ€™re based.

Our Commitment to Diversity and Well-Being

We believe that innovation occurs when people with diverse perspectives come together. Our employees have a voice in how we operate, and we prioritize developing policies that support your well-being, both at work and at home. Whether youโ€™re balancing family, study, or personal interests, our flexible remote model means youโ€™ll have space for what matters most. If you thrive on teamwork and want to be part of a culture where equal opportunity is more than a promise, youโ€™ll find yourself right at home.

A Story of Belonging and Growth

Many of our team members have come from different industries, cultures, and backgrounds. One of our recent hires, who joined from a small town with little tech exposure, shared how nervous they felt at first. However, within days, they found encouragement from their mentor and soon began leading security initiatives for our cloud infrastructure. We champion stories like this because every success here is shared, and every challenge becomes an opportunity for us to support one another.

Your Role: Keeping Systems Secure and Teams Confident

Youโ€™ll be the person who ensures our technology backbone is both reliable and resilient. Think of yourself as the guardian who keeps our virtual doors locked and our digital assets protected. Your expertise in IT security, cloud systems, and network administration will help us maintain a seamless environment for every remote team member. You wonโ€™t just react to threatsโ€”youโ€™ll anticipate them, strengthening our systems proactively while encouraging a culture of security-first thinking.

Key Responsibilities

  • Oversee the administration, configuration, and monitoring of company systems to ensure maximum system reliability and uptime for all remote staff.
  • Identify and address potential vulnerabilities to maintain robust endpoint security across our distributed workforce.
  • Coordinate patch management, access controls, and multi-factor authentication to uphold best practices in cybersecurity.
  • Troubleshoot network, server, and software issues using diagnostic tools and remote support solutions.
  • Develop, test, and refine incident response protocols to minimize disruptions and protect critical information in the event of a security issue.
  • Collaborate with team members across departments to communicate changes, updates, and improvements in a clear, approachable manner.
  • Track emerging threats, regulatory changes, and new resources that keep us prepared for whatโ€™s next in the digital landscape.
  • Foster a sense of community by offering guidance and training to colleagues on safe computing, security hygiene, and best practices.

Our Collaborative Remote Environment

Youโ€™ll work closely with colleagues from all over the world, connected by shared values and regular check-ins. Our meetings are inclusiveโ€”cameras on or off as you prefer, and everyoneโ€™s input is welcome. Our leadership team is accessible and invested in your well-being. If you ever need support, youโ€™ll find plenty of listening ears and practical help, whether itโ€™s for professional growth or life outside work.

Tools and Technology

We invest in industry-standard and emerging technology so you have the best tools at your fingertips. Youโ€™ll work with:

  • Leading cloud environmentsโ€”AWS, Azure, and Google Cloudโ€”support our remote infrastructure, enabling seamless resource management.
  • Real-time security monitoring platforms (SIEM tools) help spot risks quickly and keep our systems safe around the clock.
  • Remote access tools to ensure secure connections for all employees, no matter their location.
  • Automation frameworks that simplify routine system checks and allow more time for innovation.
  • Collaboration platforms, such as Slack and Teams, help keep the whole group in sync.

What Makes You a Great Fit

You donโ€™t need to tick every box, but a genuine passion for technology, a problem-solving spirit, and a commitment to inclusive teamwork will help you thrive here.

  • Proven experience with system administration in Windows, Linux, or cloud-based environments.
  • Sound understanding of network security principles, including firewalls, VPNs, and encryption.
  • Ability to balance technical know-how with clear, empathetic communicationโ€”especially when helping non-technical colleagues.
  • Analytical mindset with the confidence to investigate issues and develop practical solutions.
  • Familiarity with IT governance, compliance frameworks, and best practices for privacy is a plus.
  • Previous exposure to remote work environments is welcomed but not required; we provide a comprehensive onboarding experience.
  • Curiosity and a desire for ongoing learningโ€”we offer regular training and knowledge-sharing sessions.

One long-term team member recently said, โ€œIโ€™ve never worked anywhere that cared this much about both my mental health and my professional goals.โ€
