Senior System Administrator
Full-time
Hercules Slr Inc.
The ideal candidate is a battle-tested infrastructure expert who thrives in high-stakes, high-autonomy environments and brings a deep, practical understanding of enterprise IT systems. They’re not just technically strong—they own problems end-to-end, anticipate failures before they happen, and engineer clean, scalable solutions across hybrid ecosystems.
This individual will serve as the technical backbone of the infrastructure team—equal parts architect, operator, and guardian. They should bring the mindset of an SRE (Site Reliability Engineer), the discipline of a cybersecurity specialist, and the grit of someone who's rebuilt systems under pressure.
We offer a comprehensive compensation and benefits package that includes:
- Competitive salaries plus bonuses
- Generous RRSP matching program 5% (after one year)
- Full health and dental benefits (shared costs)
- Great schedule-Monday to Friday 8-5
- Personal & Professional Development Opportunities
- Fun & engaging working environment
- Free parking

- Implement best practices for security, patching, backups, and performance monitoring.
- Drive infrastructure design for new sites, acquisitions, and special projects.
- Own documentation: SOPs, system architecture, DR/BCP, compliance standards.

- Azure AD / Entra ID (identity security, conditional access, sync)
- AWS EC2, S3, VPC, IAM, Route 53 - infra-as-code experience (CloudFormation or Terraform) preferred

- EDR/XDR platforms (SentinelOne preferred), MFS/SSO integration
- Network segmentation, remote access, and log monitoring best practices
Backup & DR
- Veeam (on-prem + AWS), DR testing, RTO/RPO strategy at enterprise scale
Productivity & Automation
- Office 365 tenant admin (Exchange, Teams, SharePoint, licensing)
- PowerShell scripting for automation and system reporting
- Endpoint standardization (400+ users, hybrid environment)
Business Applications
- Experience with SQL-based ERP systems (Epicor Prophet 21 a strong asset)
- Printing systems, document workflows, and MFP intergration
What You Bring

- Calm Under Pressure: You've been through outages and recoveries, and you know how to prioritize in chaos.
- Mentorship Vibe: You elevate the people around you - without ego.
- Strategic Communicator: You can explain complex systems in plain English, document like a pro, and collaborate cross-functionally.
