We are looking for a hands‑on Systems Administrator to keep our IT infrastructure running smoothly for every team that depends on it: from drug discovery through development and the business behind it

You’ll work across cloud systems, on‑prem infrastructure, and the platform and tools that support in‑house applications

This is a generalist role for someone who is curious, technically broad, and energized by variety; one day you’re improving service availability, the next you’re troubleshooting scientific system performance, the next you’re automating away a process that’s been costing the team hours each week

Operating, maintaining, and supporting our hybrid systems and infrastructure; we operate a mixed environment including cloud (AWS) and on‑prem

Supporting engineering systems, platforms, and tools that our internal developers and scientists use to build and run in‑house applications

Troubleshooting issues across systems, networking, identity, and access; exercising judgment on unusual problems and adapting existing approaches when there isn’t a clear precedent

Partnering with engineering and scientific teams to support integrations between corporate IT, lab instruments, and in‑house platforms

Digging deeply into your managed systems; automating routine operational work and improving availability and efficiency

Owning patching, monitoring, and documentation practices across your managed systems

We’re looking for someone who’s already done this kind of work - running real infrastructure in a production environment - and who’s hungry to keep learning as the environment modernizes around them. You communicate clearly with both technical and non‑technical individuals, and bring solid documentation habits. You’re deeply curious about how systems work end‑to‑end, tools you haven’t used yet, and the science your work supports. You have experience in scientific or manufacturing environments, or working in regulated industries (GxP, SOC2, etc.); this is considered a bonus! You work with modern practices by default; infrastructure‑as‑code, automation, and observability are tools you reach for, not afterthoughts. You have 5+ years of related experience operating production infrastructure, in addition to a Bachelor’s degree (or equivalent experience in a technical field); candidates with 3+ years of related experience in addition to a Master’s degree will also be considered. You’re a hands‑on technical generalist who’s run cloud and on‑prem environments in production, and you’ve developed instincts for what tends to break and why. You bring strong judgment to unusual problems; you know when to adapt an existing approach, when to elevate, and when to push back on a bad one.
