The posting

Get to know us a little. At Diverse Computing, we are passionate about our mission for delivering innovative IT solutions that improve the effectiveness and security of the public safety community. In other words, we create software that has a higher purpose than simply making a profit. Our suite of criminal justice software solutions represent the industry’s leading innovations, and we care deeply about maintaining our reputation for excellent customer service and unmatched integrity when serving nationwide organizations.

We do this by uplifting and supporting all facets of our tight-knit team, allowing members to take ownership of their projects, be an integral part of team-oriented innovation, and playing a pivotal role with software that is designed to improve public safety. Our hiring objective is to continue building our team in a way that reflects our mission and vision, while living our core values of integrity, engagement, innovation, passion, and, above all, the customer service that we are so proud of.

About the role.

Diverse Computing, Inc. (DCI) has a two-semester internship opening for a highly motivated Junior Systems & Network Administrator to join our team.

This is a paid, part-time internship (15–20 hours/week) based in our Tallahassee, FL office, with hours scheduled flexibly around your classes. In this role, you will gain hands-on experience across both systems administration and networking. You will assist with internal IT support by managing help desk requests, provisioning employee workstations, and utilizing system monitoring tools, while also developing technical networking skills in configuring, deploying, and troubleshooting Cisco firewalls, switches, VLANs, and VPNs.

We believe in providing young talent with meaningful, real-world experience, and we are ideally seeking a candidate interested in turning this opportunity into a full-time career with DCI upon graduation. During business hours, you will learn our daily operational workflows and build the foundational skills needed to grow into a successful IT professional.

  • Support Security Initiatives: Assist in managing access controls, monitoring firewalls, and reviewing system logs for usability or security concerns.
  • Maintain Backups: Shadow the administration of backup systems, verify completion, and assist in routine backup testing.
  • Improve Documentation: Build and maintain our internal IT wiki by writing clear technical documentation, manuals, and IT policies.
  • Research & Development: Study technical patch literature, test software upgrades, and assist the senior IT team in integrating new cloud (AWS/Azure) or system technologies.

  • 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.
