The selected candidate will work closely with the Director of IT to strengthen cybersecurity posture,
improve infrastructure governance, and help design scalable, secure systems for a growing
engineering organization.
This is a hands-on engineering role with meaningful architectural exposure. It is not a helpdesk
position.

• Maintain firewall policies and secure network configurations
• Administer Windows and Linux servers• Support virtualization environments
• Assist in managing identity and access systems (Microsoft Entra ID, MFA, endpoint policies)

• Experience with virtualization technologies
• Strong documentation discipline and structured problem-solving approach
• Ability to work independently and collaborate closely with leadership
Preferred Qualifications
• Experience supporting environments preparing for compliance review
• Exposure to Microsoft Entra ID and endpoint management platforms
• Demonstrated knowledge of security principles through experience and/or relevant certifications
(e.g., Security+, CISSP, CCNP Security)
• Experience in regulated or engineering-focused environments
What Success Looks Like
• Strengthened security posture and reduced operational risk
• Clear and maintainable compliance documentation
• Mature network segmentation and firewall governance• Reliable, auditable infrastructure processes
• Measurable progress toward CMMC Level 2 readiness
Why This Role Matters
As Ampera continues to grow, this position will help establish a secure and scalable technical
foundation. This hire will build systems and processes that support compliance, operational resilience,
and long-term infrastructure maturity.
This role reduces single-point dependency within IT leadership and creates internal security depth
while contributing to strategic technical planning.
