IT Systems & Data Administrator

Walther Farms•Three Rivers, MI

About The Position

Walther Farms is seeking an IT Systems & Data Engineer to support a wide range of technology initiatives across our multi-location operation. This role blends infrastructure management, data engineering, and hands-on problem solving in a fast-paced agricultural business. This position is ideal for someone who thrives on variety—one day you may be building data pipelines in Microsoft Fabric, and the next you’re troubleshooting a network issue or writing a script to automate a manual process. You’ll work both independently and as part of our existing team, coordinating with our third-party IT support provider to keep systems running and continuously improving. We’re looking for a quick learner who writes clean code, understands modern data and cloud platforms, and is just as comfortable talking through a problem with a team member as they are digging into a technical challenge on their own. Strong communication, adaptability, and a genuine curiosity for technology are essential for success in this role.
