An established downtown Toronto financial services firm is hiring a Systems and Network Administrator for a two-person IT team supporting fewer than 100 users across Toronto, Montreal, and the United States.

- Operate backups, patching, endpoint protection, and monitoring, and test restores.
- Support virtualization hosts, network storage, workstations, and core business applications alongside third-party vendors.
- Resolve user tickets, keep documentation and asset records current, and follow written change control.

What you need:

- Three or more years of hands-on Windows Server and Active Directory administration.
- Practical networking: TCP/IP, VLANs, DNS, routing, and firewall rule administration on managed firewalls.
- Direct experience configuring VPN and multi-factor authentication.
- Comfort administering Linux servers from the command line.




- Backup and virtualization experience, including restore testing.
