ABOUT THE ROLE

Under the direction of the Bay Area Toll Authority (BATA) Information Technology Manager, the Systems Administrator provides server, identity, and security administration in a primarily Microsoft Server and Azure environment with a small number of Linux systems. This is a broad role with an emphasis on identity, security, and automation. The position helps build a new configuration standards and automation program, and will support facility monitoring technology as new toll facilities come online. This is one of two systems administrator positions on a seven-person IT infrastructure team within the Capital Delivery, Asset Management, and Roadside Tolling (CART) section, alongside network engineers and a technical project manager. Responsibilities are divided between the two administrators and reviewed as the work changes.

The systems supported by this position keep toll collection running across the Bay Area state-owned bridges and several of the region's Express Lane corridors, including equipment at toll plazas and roadside facilities. This is a 24/7 operation, though after-hours escalations are rare and have not required a rotating on-call schedule. The position is expected to respond to major system failures and security incidents when they occur.

Responsibilities

Systems Administrator responsibilities include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Administering identity and access platforms, including Active Directory, Entra, and Okta; managing account lifecycle, group membership, and multifactor authentication administration
  • Developing configuration standards, building automated compliance auditing against those standards, and maintaining systems infrastructure documentation
  • Administering endpoint security and file integrity monitoring platforms; performing vulnerability remediation and system hardening
  • Administering on-premises and cloud server infrastructure, storage, operating systems, and system software, including supporting migration of services to Azure
  • Monitoring system performance, capacity, availability, and security, and responding promptly to alerts and incidents
  • Managing patch and update cycles across the server and endpoint estate, and tracking platform lifecycle to plan replacement of systems approaching vendor end of support
  • Administering backup and recovery services, including backup design and scheduling, periodic restore testing and verification, and recovery documentation
  • Supporting facility technology systems as new toll facilities come online, including building management, environmental monitoring, camera and video, and physical access control
  • Supporting agency technology projects through infrastructure and security design review, requirements input, and technical coordination with vendors
  • Providing after-hours response for major system failures and security incidents, and performing occasional on-site work at toll plazas and roadside facilities
  • Performing other job-related tasks and duties as needed or assigned by the Section

Qualifications

KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, AND ABILITIES

  • Experience administering enterprise identity platforms such as Okta or Entra, including hybrid integration with on-premises Active Directory
  • Experience with system hardening and configuration baselines
  • Proficiency with Microsoft PowerShell for system administration and automation
  • Experience administering Microsoft Azure
  • Experience administering enterprise backup and recovery, including restore testing and verification
  • Experience responding to security incidents and alerts from endpoint detection or SIEM platforms
  • Fundamental understanding of networking, including routing, switching, and firewalls
  • Fundamental understanding of common protocols (such as, but not limited to, LDAP, SMTP, TCP/IP, RADIUS, DNS, DHCP, SAML, and SSL/TLS)
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, evidenced by a history of enhancing system performance and resolving complex technical issues
  • Valid California Class C driver's license and a safe driving record. This position requires occasional travel to toll plazas and roadside facilities, which are not served by public transit. Rental vehicles are available for planned site work; the position requires the ability to reach a site on short notice for unplanned or emergency response.

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
