Systems Engineer - Identity & Automation
About The Position
ISPA Technology is seeking a Systems Engineer focused on identity, core enterprise services, and automation. This position supports a service area that includes Active Directory, identity and access management, PKI, DNS, and related shore services. You will help engineer and sustain foundational systems that authentication, authorization, naming, and trust depend on—while also using Ansible to keep those systems consistent, supportable, and scalable. This is a strong fit for an engineer who understands that enterprise systems engineering is not just about keeping services running; it is about building confidence into the environment through disciplined design and automation.
Requirements
- Hands-on systems engineering or administration experience in Windows-centric or hybrid enterprise environments.
- Experience supporting one or more of the following at meaningful depth: AD, IAM, PKI, DNS, GPO, or enterprise shore services.
- Experience automating systems administration tasks using Ansible or similar tooling.
- Strong troubleshooting skills across identity, policy, authentication, and service dependency issues.
- Ability to document technical procedures and support a controlled operational environment.
Nice To Haves
- Experience with certificate services, privileged access controls, or multi-domain / integrated enterprise environments.
- Familiarity with compliance-driven hardening and RMF-aware sustainment practices.
- Experience supporting systems that integrate with cyber tooling, platform services, or mission applications.
Responsibilities
- Engineer, administer, and sustain identity and core services including AD, IAM-related functions, PKI, DNS, and supporting infrastructure services.
- Create and maintain Ansible-based automation for system configuration, baseline enforcement, deployment tasks, and recurring administration activities.
- Support account, policy, certificate, naming, and service integrations required by dependent platforms and applications.
- Work with cybersecurity and platform teams to improve system hardening, access control, resiliency, and change discipline.
- Troubleshoot service dependencies, authentication issues, DNS faults, policy conflicts, and automation execution problems.
- Develop clear engineering and operational documentation for administration, support, recovery, and integration.
