Systems Administrator

Job Description

Job Description

VTS is looking for a Systems Administrator to join our IT team. In this role, you will be part of the operational core of our New York headquarters and a key contributor to a rapidly growing business. Reporting to the Director of IT, you will be a critical technical resource across all aspects of our corporate IT infrastructure, core systems including SSO, identity and access management, SaaS management, workflow automation, network operations, and GSuite; business-critical platforms including NetSuite, Salesforce, and our HRIS; and engineering tools including GitHub, Datadog, and AWS. You will directly impact the day-to-day productivity of the entire workforce and expand your IT experience across every layer of the infrastructure.

But this is not just an operations or support role. It is an opportunity for someone who spots inefficiencies and fixes them, implements high-impact IT changes across the org, and builds automation pipelines and AI-assisted workflows that scale with the business. You will come in, learn the tools fast, and move from keeping the lights on to asking the questions we most want answered: "What manual processes exist today that automation could eliminate tomorrow?" If these questions excite you, this role is for you.

** Please note that this opportunity is located in New York, NY, and requires this hire to work from our office four days a week. **

Here's What You Can Expect

• A high-impact, high-ownership role where you are part of the on-site IT presence for our New York office with direct visibility to IT leadership from day one
• Active participation in AI and automation projects alongside a forward-thinking technical IT team that is building orchestration and agentic workflows, integrating AI tooling, and modernizing how IT operates at scale
• The freedom to surface and lead value-add projects. If you spot an inefficiency or an opportunity, you will have the support to do something about it
• A collaborative environment where you partner with technical and non-technical teams across the org, directly contributing to a more efficient and productive workforce
• The opportunity to help build and deliver IT services that are reliable, scalable, and easy to use resulting in an educated, empowered organization

What You'll Need to Be Successful

• You are a self-starter. You do not wait for a ticket to tell you what is broken or what could be better. You see it, own it, fix it, and document it so it never happens again.
• You are endlessly curious about AI and automation. You stay current, experiment on your own, and bring ideas from what you have learned directly into your work. Orchestration, AI-driven workflows, and intelligent tooling are not buzzwords to you, you know how the different models respond and you are already building with them.
• You think in systems, not tickets. A mature IT environment excites you because you are already ahead instead of being reactive.
• 4+ years of IT experience in a corporate environment, ideally at a high-growth tech or SaaS company.
• 1+ years of hands-on experience in workflow or IT automation on platforms such as Workato, Okta Workflows, Zapier, n8n, or comparable tools.
• Hands-on Mac and Windows endpoint management experience using Jamf or Ninja RMM, our environment is 90% Mac and 10% Windows.
• SaaS administration experience across Google Workspace, Okta, Slack, and Zoom, with a track record of improving how those platforms are managed.
• Experience leading or owning IT change initiatives, not just executing tasks, but scoping, planning, and driving meaningful change across an organization.
• Strong communication skills and the confidence to present ideas upward, push back when something does not make sense, and bring colleagues along on new ways of working.
• Bonus points:
  • Security mindset: you think about access controls, compliance, and risk as a natural part of how you build, not as an afterthought
  • Experience with SaaS lifecycle management and optimization
  • Familiarity with Atlassian products including Jira and Confluence
