Sr. Application Administrator

S Base Technologies•Chicago, IL

5d•$65 - $70•Hybrid

About The Position

This contractor will be working on the creation of a newly developed solution to implement roles-based access control (RBAC). The intent of this new methodology is to ensure that access grants are fit-for-purpose and that a user isn't overprovisioned with access. The plan calls for us to bring in a more senior resource who understands workflow development, AD integration, and integration MID servers. This contractor will be working on the build out of additional ServiceNow infrastructure called MID servers to expand our AD integration capabilities beyond the single domain we currently can automate against (EWS.INT), to also include PRODEW.INT, CORPEW.INT, and EWT.Local. This will allow our ticket automation to provision and remove system access (AD groups and users) from within each of those additional domains. The build-out of these additional MID servers will cover both our Production and non-Production instances to allow for workflow development via Integration to happen and to be tested up the stack. This contractor will also be working with the IAM team as they build-out the sub-production level instances of PRODEW.INT, CORPEW.INT, and EWT.Local that our ServiceNow sub-production instances will communicate with for development and testing purposes.
