Job Description
Shield AI is seeking a highly autonomous Staff Systems Administrator to serve as the accountable technical owner for enterprise IT infrastructure and end-user computing within a dedicated, security-sensitive entity environment.
This senior individual contributor will design, implement, operate, secure, and continuously improve on-premises systems, cloud platforms, identity services, networks, and endpoints while preserving required legal, operational, information-security, and access boundaries. The role combines deep infrastructure ownership with hands-on service delivery.
The successful candidate will translate security and compliance requirements into durable technical controls, maintain audit-ready evidence, drive equipment and endpoint hardening, and deliver resilient support to engineering and business teams with minimal oversight.
