The IT Systems & Security Analyst I provides day-to-day support to our internal users, serving as the critical first point of contact.

Rather than deflecting issues, you will be expected to get your hands dirty, learn our technology stack, and directly assist our team members. Additionally, you'll be hands-on with cybersecurity efforts including patching, configuration, deployment, and investigations.
