What are the responsibilities and job description for the IT Systems Specialist position at Aviture?
Aviture is a tech company that actually builds things—and we’re not afraid of complex, messy, meaningful work. We value autonomy, curiosity, and people who take ownership. You won’t find a lot of red tape here, but you will find a team that gives a damn and a culture that respects your time, your talent, and your brainpower.
IT Systems Specialist @ Aviture
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.
Responsibilities
- [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.
Qualifications
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.
