  • Diagnose complex issues across servers, applications, databases, networking, and paging hardware (pagers, mobile devices, PBX systems).

  • Build, test, and deploy server builds, application updates, and patches across virtual and physical environments.

  • Perform daily system monitoring, log review, performance checks, and verification of scheduled jobs (backups, scripts, batch processes).

  • Support call center communication systems and ensure operational continuity of clinician on‑call schedules.

  • Maintain detailed documentation including runbooks, integration guides, operational workflows, and troubleshooting playbooks.

  • Collaborate with cross-functional IT teams for upgrades, enhancements, disaster recovery planning, and system integrations.

Required Qualifications

      • Minimum 3 years of system engineering or system administration experience.
      • Hands-on experience with Spok or similar communication/paging systems.
      • Strong troubleshooting across:
      • Windows Server / IIS

      • Application stacks and API integrations
      • Networking, firewalls, load balancers
      • PBX and telephony components
      • Ability to work both independently and collaboratively in a high‑impact environment.
      • Excellent communication and customer‑support skills.
      • Ability to obtain and maintain an NIH Public Trust clearance.
