IT Systems Specialist

We’re looking for an IT systems specialist who knows how to keep things running and knows when to burn it down and rebuild it better. At Aviture, we build complex, high-impact software—government, commercial, you name it—and we need someone who can keep our internal infrastructure humming while supporting the engineers building the future.

This is a hybrid role: part systems admin, part DevOps wingman, part digital firefighter. You’ll support a team of 75+ at our Omaha HQ and an expanding group of remote employees. You’ll be working across networks, servers, cloud platforms, dev environments, and whatever else breaks on a Tuesday. If you're the kind of person who takes pride in things working because you made them work, read on.

What You’ll Actually Be Doing:

• Keeping our cloud and on-prem networks up and running (AWS, Azure, GCP—we play all the hits).
• Administering Linux and Windows servers, plus VMs and dev environments that occasionally behave like wild animals.
• Managing security across firewalls, VPNs, and endpoints—because we like sleeping at night.
• Owning backup and disaster recovery so we can recover from worst-case scenarios without panic.
• Partnering with dev teams to support CI/CD, pipelines, and tooling. If you’ve ever yelled at a Jenkins job, you’ll fit in.
• Handling user accounts, permissions, and access like a benevolent gatekeeper.
• Providing practical, real-world support—whether it’s fixing a bricked laptop or figuring out why Wi-Fi dies in one oddly cursed corner of the office.
• Documenting systems and configs so you’re not the only one who knows what that Bash script actually does.
• Continuously looking for ways to improve performance, security, and sanity.

Requirements

What You Bring:

• A degree in Computer Science, IT, MIS—or equivalent time spent in the school of hard knocks.
• 3+ years in a sysadmin, IT generalist, or network role where you weren’t just “clicking next.”
• Comfortable in Linux and Windows ecosystems (bonus points if you’ve cursed at both).
• Hands-on experience with AWS, Azure, or GCP—and not just from the billing dashboard.
• Solid networking knowledge: VPNs, routing, firewall rules, the works.
• Experience with virtualization platforms like VMware or Hyper-V.
• The ability to communicate clearly with both engineers and folks who think “the cloud” is a weather pattern.
• A get-it-done mindset. If it’s broken, you fix it. If it’s slow, you tune it. If it’s unnecessary, you kill it

Bonus Points If You:

• Know your way around Bash, PowerShell, or Python.
• Can write (and maybe even trust) Terraform or Ansible.
• Have played in DevOps land: Docker, GitLab CI/CD, Jenkins, etc.
• Hold a certification or two (Network+, Security+, etc.), but we care more about what you know than what’s on paper.

Benefits

• PPO or a High Deductible Health Plan, HSA eligible plan, Dental, Vision, and Supplemental Life.
• Generous paid time off that starts accruing on day one.
• Company vacations!!! Previous destinations have included Napa Valley, Cancun, Cabo San Lucas and Aspen.
• Matching 401k with 100% vesting in six months.
• Pick your preferred workstation! Mac? PC? We’ll support you with the tech you need to do your best work.
• Flexible work schedules: Work the times that fits your schedule, with all meetings required to be scheduled between 9 am and 3 pm CST.
• Free lunch every Friday and recurring team events for you and your family to enjoy.
• Incentive and bonus pay.
• Opportunities for connection and growth through peer coaching, recurring Lightning Talks to share things we’re passionate about, and a bi-weekly company-wide All Hands.
