Systems Administrator

When technology runs perfectly, it’s seamless and invisible to the people who use it every day. Nevertheless, we know that meticulous work is required to build and manage the environments critical to people’s productivity. Well-run technology means a well-run company, and both are non-negotiable for us. 

We’re looking for a sharp, motivated, and talented Systems Administrator to take on a broad slice of our end-user technology environment (things like desktops, application support, mobile device management, messaging, AV, and more) while expanding into an ever-growing set of back-end systems (physical and virtual servers, networks, cloud services and scripting). Our ideal candidate doesn’t need a lot of experience but must be a passionate techie and tinkerer – someone who isn’t satisfied just figuring out how something works, but who is deeply curious about why it works that way.

Why work with us? PDT Partners has a stellar 25+ year track record and a reputation for excellence. We strive to be the best quantitative investment firm on the planet, not by assets under management, but by the quality of our products. As a place to work, PDT’s extremely high employee-retention rate speaks for itself. Our people are intellectually exceptional and our community is close-knit, down-to-earth, and diverse.

Responsibilities:

  • Bridge people and technology - ensuring a seamless, responsive, and proactive user experience
  • Own build, configuration, problem-solving, troubleshooting, maintenance, and support across end-user technologies
  • Seek out and automate away manual tasks
  • Handle general systems administration across an array of back-end platforms
  • Participate in new technology selection, testing, and rollouts

Experience:

  • 1+ years of relevant experience
  • Demonstrated ability to adeptly assess and fix technical problems.
  • Unambiguous passion for technology.
  • Some proficiency in PowerShell strongly preferred

Education:

  • Bachelor’s degree in computer science or a related technical field

DISCLAIMER: This position requires that the job candidate be fully vaccinated against COVID-19.  Please note that an applicant will be considered fully vaccinated two weeks after their second dose in a 2-dose vaccine series (Pfizer or Moderna), or two weeks after a single-dose vaccine (Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen vaccine).  PDT will consider requests for reasonable accommodations for documented medical reasons and for sincerely held religious beliefs in accordance with applicable law.  Please do not include proof of vaccine status or any indication of a possible request for an accommodation when submitting your application materials.  If applicable, PDT will follow up with you directly to request proof of vaccination and to discuss any potential accommodations.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor required by law to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We are also required to measure our progress toward having at least 7% of our workforce be individuals with disabilities. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had a disability. Because a person may become disabled at any time, we ask all of our employees to update their information at least every five years.

Identifying yourself as an individual with a disability is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer will be maintained confidentially and not be seen by selecting officials or anyone else involved in making personnel decisions. Completing the form will not negatively impact you in any way, regardless of whether you have self-identified in the past.
