About the role

Hadrian is building autonomous factories to reindustrialize America. The IT Systems Administrator owns the platforms and services that keep the factory IT running, designs and deploys hardening and identity/access controls, and builds internal tools to improve the service desk and factory operations.

Responsibilities

  • Spin up new factory sections from an IT perspective. Rack gear, cable, image endpoints, provision identity and access, and hand over clean documentation to the site team.
  • Partner with factory, platform, and infra teams to deploy Kubernetes nodes and line-side services.
  • Own the IT side of the rollout: networking, identity, endpoint config, and monitoring.
  • Troubleshoot when services go down. Own the first hard triage on the IT side, work incidents in real time with platform and networking teams, and lead the follow-up so the same fire does not start twice.
  • Build AI tooling and internal tools for the service desk. Wire chatbot skills into our real systems, build agent assist, and script the boring parts so Techs and Analysts move faster.
  • Own our core platforms end to end: Okta, Microsoft 365, Box, Jira, MDM, and the tools that plug into them.
  • Design and build identity, access, and lifecycle flows. Set up SSO, SCIM, groups, and least-privilege patterns that scale with the factory footprint.
  • Automate the boring stuff. Write scripts and integrations that cut manual work for Technicians and Analysts.
  • Partner with Security, Infrastructure, and DevOps on hardening, logging, and compliance across the factory IT stack.
  • Mentor Technicians and Analysts. Review their tickets, share patterns, and help them grow.
  • Own the runbooks, architecture notes, and change records for the systems you run.

Qualifications

  • 5 or more years in IT, with at least 2 in a systems admin, IT engineer, or platform role.
  • Hands-on experience supporting or building services in a factory, warehouse, lab, or other on-site production environment.
  • Working knowledge of Kubernetes. You have deployed, upgraded, or troubleshot nodes and workloads, even if a platform team owns the cluster.
  • Strong outage instincts. You can read logs, follow a service from endpoint to backend, and stay calm while people are watching.
  • Deep hands-on experience with Okta or another SSO, Microsoft 365, and MDM. You have driven a rollout, not just clicked around in the console.
  • Strong scripting and API skills (Python, PowerShell, JavaScript, or similar). You can read docs, wire up two systems, and leave notes the next person can follow.
  • Experience building tools or automations that make a service desk faster. AI chatbot skills, agent assist, ticket deflection, or internal admin tools all count.
  • Solid grasp of identity, access, and endpoint security patterns.
  • Comfort across Windows, macOS, and Linux.
  • Clear writer. Your Jira updates, runbooks, and design docs are easy to follow.
  • Calm and steady when things break at 6 a.m. or on a Saturday.
  • Able to work on-site at our Mesa, AZ factory.
  • Able to lift up to 50 lbs and move hardware around the factory floor as needed.
