Senior IT Systems Administrator

About the role

TechTorch is seeking a Senior IT Systems Administrator to serve as a hands-on execution layer within our technology operations team. This individual will work under the direction of senior technical staff who define architecture and policy, translating those directives into reliable, compliant day-to-day IT operations. The ideal candidate thrives in structured but fast-moving engineering environments, is deeply fluent in Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 administration, and brings a proactive, AI-augmented approach to IT operations. You will not be designing the strategy - you will be the person who makes it real, consistently and correctly.

Responsibilities

• Platform Administration
• Administer and maintain TechTorch environments across Google Workspace (user lifecycle, groups, Drive policies, Vault, Meet, security settings) and Microsoft 365 (Exchange Online, SharePoint, Teams, Intune, Entra ID/Azure AD)
• Administer and support business applications (for example, QBO, Asana, etc.) and other SaaS tools as directed
• Serve as the primary remote help desk resource for end users across the organization
• Endpoint Support
• Provide endpoint support across ChromeOS, Windows, and macOS devices
• Manage device enrollment, configuration, and policy enforcement via MDM platforms (Google Admin, Intune, or equivalent)
• Troubleshoot hardware, OS, and application issues remotely with minimal escalation
• Compliance & Policy Execution
• Execute technology controls and configurations in alignment with CMMC/NIST 800-171, ISO 27001, and SOC 2 requirements
• Implement and enforce access controls, audit logging, data handling policies, and security configurations as defined by senior staff
• Support audit readiness activities including evidence collection, policy documentation, and control testing
• Add or modify system capabilities to address evolving compliance requirements, implementing the solution rather than defining it
• AI-Augmented Operations
• Actively apply AI tools (e.g., Claude, Copilot, Gemini) to streamline IT workflows, automate repetitive tasks, and accelerate troubleshooting
• Stay current on how AI is reshaping IT operations and bring practical applications to the team
• Engineering Environment Support
• Support IT needs within an engineering-oriented organization that operates across a connected digital thread of tools and data
• Quickly learn and adapt to specialized tools and workflows used by engineering teams without requiring deep domain expertise
• Maintain awareness of how IT infrastructure intersects with engineering processes, data flows, and toolchains
• REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
• 5-8 years of hands-on IT administration experience in a product engineering and manufacturing environment
• Expert-level Google Workspace administration (Users, Groups, Drive, Security, Vault, Admin Console)
• Proficient Microsoft 365 tenant administration (Exchange, SharePoint, Teams, Intune, Entra ID)
• Demonstrated endpoint support experience across ChromeOS, Windows, and macOS
• Familiarity with CMMC/NIST 800-171, ISO 27001, and/or SOC 2 control implementation
• Experience administering SaaS tools (for example, QBO, Asana, etc.)
• Strong remote help desk and user support skills; able to resolve issues efficiently without in-person access
• Comfortable working in a task-execution role where architecture and policy decisions are made upstream
• Familiarity with the use of AI tools to improve personal productivity and IT operations
• U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident (green card holder)

Requirements

• Experience supporting engineering teams or organizations with an engineering-oriented digital thread
• Familiarity with MDM policy enforcement and endpoint compliance tooling
• Exposure to GRC tools or compliance management platforms
• Experience in a startup, growth-stage, or lean IT environment where adaptability is essential
• Google Workspace Administrator or Microsoft 365 certifications (not required but a plus)
• WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE
