  • Install, configure, and troubleshoot hardware and software issues across end-user devices and server systems.
  • Administer user accounts, access control, and group policies using Active Directory and Azure AD.
  • Manage IT assets throughout their lifecycle: procurement, deployment, support, and decommissioning.
  • Ensure proper inventory control, software licensing compliance, and asset tracking using IT asset management tools.
  • Generate reports on hardware/software usage, compliance, and asset depreciation for internal and audit needs.
  • Lead and mentor junior administrators and support staff; contribute to technical documentation and team training.
  • Participate in on-call rotation and perform maintenance activities outside business hours as required.
  • Collaborate with infrastructure, network, and security teams to support enterprise IT operations and incident response.

Required qualifications:

  • 3+ years of experience in systems administration or enterprise desktop support roles.
  • Strong proficiency in Windows and Linux operating systems.
  • Experience with Active Directory, Azure AD, and identity/access management tools.
  • Knowledge of networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP) and endpoint security practices.
  • Familiarity with IT asset management platforms (e.g., SNIPE, JSM, JIRA).
  • Ability to participate in an on-call rotation and off-hours maintenance windows.
  • Strong documentation, troubleshooting, and customer service skills.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration across technical and non-technical teams.

Preferred qualifications:

  • 5+ years of IT experience, with at least 2 years in a senior or mentoring capacity.
  • Experience with Microsoft Endpoint Manager (Intune), JAMF, and scripting in PowerShell.
  • Working knowledge of ITIL practices related to change, incident, and asset management.
  • Previous experience in asset lifecycle planning and procurement strategy.
  • Experience supporting remote and hybrid work environments.
  • Industry certifications (e.g., CompTIA, Microsoft, ITIL, Cisco) are a plus.

Why join Shield AI:

  • Help build the defining defence technology company of this century.
  • Work at the forefront of AI, autonomy, and next-generation defence systems.

Why it works

3×

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.
