Systems & Security Administrator
rennie is hiring a Systems & Security Administrator to own and improve a portfolio of business systems, cloud services and hosted infrastructure that our teams rely on every day.
This is a hands-on role for an experienced systems administrator who wants breadth, autonomy and meaningful technical problems to solve. Our environment spans Google Workspace, Linux, Proxmox, identity and access, security controls, integrations and automation. You’ll work closely with teams across the business, independently manage assigned technologies, and make our technology environment more reliable, secure and effective.
You’ll be a strong fit if you like getting beneath the surface of technical issues, see how systems connect, and would rather solve a recurring problem properly than keep applying the same workaround.

WHAT YOU’LL DO
Own and improve assigned business systems and cloud services, keeping them reliable, secure and fit for purpose
Administer Linux-based server and hosted infrastructure, including virtualization and container environments, storage, networking, performance, backup and recovery
Administer assigned identity, access and security controls, including authentication, privileged access, secure configurations, logging and vulnerability remediation
Solve complex technical problems across systems, infrastructure, access and integrations, identifying root causes and implementing durable solutions
Build and improve integrations and automation that reduce manual work and make our technology environment more reliable and maintainable
Lead system implementations and changes, including upgrades, migrations and defined technical projects
Partner with teams across the business to understand operational needs and translate them into practical technical solutions that balance usability, security, reliability and maintainability
Improve the environment over time, identifying opportunities to simplify, standardize, automate or consolidate technology
Enable people to use technology effectively and securely through practical documentation, guidance, training and self-service resources
OUR TECHNOLOGY ENVIRONMENT
Our environment combines cloud-based business systems with remotely managed hosted infrastructure. Key technologies and capabilities include:
Google Workspace
Linux production environments
Proxmox and other virtualization or container technologies
Identity and access technologies including SSO, MFA and privileged access
APIs, webhooks, middleware, vendor connectors and low-code automation
Networking, firewalls, storage and infrastructure monitoring
Backup, replication, restoration and disaster recovery
WHAT YOU BRING
5+ years of progressive experience in systems administration, application administration, technology operations or a comparable technical role, with responsibility across multiple systems and technologies
Strong hands-on Linux server administration experience in a production environment, including patching, storage, networking and troubleshooting
Experience administering virtualization or container environments, ideally Proxmox or comparable technology
Experience working technically within a Google Workspace environment, with a strong understanding of its administration, identity, access and security capabilities
Practical experience with identity, access and security controls, including authentication, privileged access, secure configuration, logging and vulnerability remediation
Experience configuring and troubleshooting system integrations and automation, using tools such as APIs, webhooks, middleware, vendor connectors or low-code platforms

Relevant technical education, training or certifications are assets, such as RHCSA or LFCS, Security+ or CySA+, Google Workspace Administrator or Network+
HOW YOU WORK
You listen first: you understand the business need, context and impact before deciding on a technical approach
You solve the underlying problem: you investigate unfamiliar or complex issues, find root causes and favour durable solutions over temporary fixes
You think in systems: you see dependencies and downstream impacts and consider security, reliability and maintainability as part of the solution
You use sound judgment: you balance business impact, urgency, security and risk, and know when to act independently and when to involve others
You take ownership: you follow work through from diagnosis to resolution, keep people informed and care about the experience of those relying on the technology
You look for a better way: you simplify, standardize and automate where it meaningfully improves reliability, security or how work gets done
You stay curious and pragmatic: you keep current on technology and security and focus on capabilities that create real value
