Systems Technician

Our New Teammate We’re looking for an experienced IT professional to support a fast-paced, mission-critical video operations environment. Our ideal Systems Technician is ready to take greater ownership - resolving incidents, identifying recurring issues, mentoring peers, and improving operational processes. You’ll connect day-to-day troubleshooting with a broader understanding of system reliability and opportunities for improvement. You troubleshoot routine issues independently and escalate complex issues appropriately, understanding the urgency of alerts, the impact of outages, and the importance of keeping customers informed. You’re comfortable working in Linux environments and have hands-on experience with containerization and scripting. You’re also developing your automation skills and understanding of how systems work together to prepare for broader engineering responsibilities. You value collaboration, accountability, and knowledge sharing, and you’re committed to both your own development and the team’s success.

You can expect to spend your time accomplishing the following:

• 65% of the time on Objective 1: Incident and Request Response
• 15% of the time on Objective 2: Event Management
• 10% of the time on Objective 3: Case Management
• 10% of the time on Objective 4: Operational Management
