Systems Administrator II (Mid-Level) | Harrisburg, PA (On-site ramp, then hybrid)

We’re hiring a mid-level Systems Administrator (Sys Admin II) to join a small infrastructure team in the Harrisburg, PA area. This position is open due to a recent resignation, and the team is looking for someone who can be a true “jack of all trades” across server and networking work.

This is a hands-on Sys Admin role, not a project-scoping/architect “engineer” position. You’ll be working alongside a small team, supporting day-to-day infrastructure needs and handling a mix of server, Microsoft 365, virtualization, and network/firewall responsibilities.

Compensation: $85,000 to $110,000 base salary (depending on experience)
Type: Direct Hire (W2)
Location: Harrisburg, PA area
Work arrangement: On-site 100% for the first 6 months, then eligible for up to 2 days/week work from home

What you’ll do

• Administer and support Windows Server environments (builds, configuration, troubleshooting)
• Support Active Directory (users/groups, GPOs, general domain troubleshooting)
• Administer Microsoft 365 (user access, security settings, tenant support)
• Use PowerShell for automation and troubleshooting
• Support virtualization platforms (VMware, Hyper-V, or similar)
• Handle hands-on networking and firewallwork, including:
  • Firewall deployment support, rule changes/cleanup, and troubleshooting
  • Site-to-site VPN setup/support and connectivity troubleshooting
  • Switch/router troubleshooting (basic to intermediate)
  • VLAN/subnet familiarity and coordination of network changes
  • DNS/DHCP troubleshooting and general network services support
  • Network documentation updates (diagrams, configs, runbooks as needed)

What we’re looking for (Requirements)

• Mid-level Systems Administration experience (not entry-level)
• Comfortable splitting work roughly 50/50 across server and networking
• Strong foundation in Windows Server, Active Directory, and Microsoft 365
• PowerShell skills (able to work independently, not just copy/paste)
• Virtualization experience (VMware, Hyper-V, or similar)
• Networking requirements (must have):
  • Hands-on experience supporting firewalls (rule management and troubleshooting)
  • Experience with VPNs (site-to-site and/or client VPN troubleshooting)
  • Working knowledge of TCP/IP, routing basics, and troubleshooting tools (ping, traceroute, nslookup, etc.)
  • Familiarity with VLANs/subnets and common office network layouts
  • Comfort troubleshooting DNS/DHCP issues in a Windows environment

Nice to have

• MSP or multi-environment experience (helpful, but not required)
