About the role


We’re hiring an IT Systems Administrator for an NBFC to secure endpoints, SaaS, and networks across ~50 branches, ~250+ field staff, and ~50+ office users.

This is primarily an IT Admin + Security role, with secondary exposure to AWS cloud ops + light DevOps + basic DB access management.


If you’re an IT Admin aiming to break into AWS Cloud Ops + DevOps, this role is a strong next step — you’ll own core IT/security and get hands-on exposure to cloud operations and deployments.


Key responsibilities (Primary: IT Admin + Security)

  • Manage endpoint security for laptops and mobiles (policies, patching, encryption, antivirus/EDR); drive MDM implementation now/future (e.g., Intune/Jamf).
  • Administer Google Workspace (Gmail/Drive/Calendar): users, groups, permissions, SSO, MFA, sharing controls.
  • Own joiner–mover–leaver lifecycle: provisioning/deprovisioning, access controls, periodic access reviews.
  • Secure branch connectivity: VPN, internal Wi-Fi, internet usage controls; coordinate troubleshooting and standardization across branches.
  • Manage HO security stack: firewall operations, rule changes with change control, monitoring/log review (basic but consistent).
  • Secure SaaS tools (CRM/HRMS/comms like Slack/Zoom): role-based access, MFA enforcement, offboarding, integration/OAuth controls.
  • Maintain IT asset inventory: procurement coordination, issuance/return, audits, warranty/AMC, license renewals; remote lock/wipe for lost devices.
  • Handle security incidents: phishing, account compromise, device loss/theft — contain, investigate, recover, and prevent recurrence.
  • Run backups and basic DR testing; maintain SOPs/documentation and train staff on cyber hygiene.
  • Provide hands-on user support: laptop builds, software installs, Outlook/Excel issues, VPN/Wi-Fi troubleshooting, escalations and vendor coordination.


Secondary responsibilities (AWS + DevOps + DB ops support)

  • Support AWS administration: IAM users/roles/policies, MFA, access key hygiene, basic log review (e.g., CloudTrail).
  • Manage AWS access controls: security groups/firewall rules, IP allowlists/whitelisting (admin tools, databases, vendor access).
  • Assist engineering with DevOps operations:
  • CI/CD support (deployment coordination, rollbacks, environment configuration)
  • Secrets/credentials management and rotation (no shared creds)
  • DNS + SSL/TLS certificates, basic monitoring/alerting coordination
  • Bonus: Docker/Kubernetes and Terraform exposure
  • Basic database operations (admin-lite):
  • DB user creation, roles/permissions, least-privilege access
  • IP allowlisting/whitelisting for DB access via VPN/approved sources
  • Backup/restore verification coordination and basic monitoring signals (connections/storage)


Requirements

  • 3+ years in IT security / systems administration (BFSI or branch-heavy org preferred).
  • Hands-on with Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 administration.
  • Must have hands-on experience leading or executing an email suite migration (e.g., Google Workspace ↔ Microsoft 365), including mailbox migration, DNS cutover, MX/SPF/DKIM/DMARC reconfiguration, and user transition management.
  • Strong endpoint/security fundamentals: encryption, patching, AV/EDR, remote support, device compliance.
  • Comfortable with networks: VPN/Wi-Fi/LAN troubleshooting; firewall basics and change discipline.
  • Strong operational discipline: asset tracking, vendor management, documentation, ticketing, user communication.
  • Practical AWS familiarity (IAM, access controls, logging) and ability to support DevOps workflows.


Nice to have

  • Experience implementing MDM at scale (Intune/Jamf/SureMDM).
  • Exposure to SOC2 / ISO27001 evidence, controls, and audit workflows.
  • Scripting for automation (PowerShell/Bash/Python).
  • Familiarity with managed databases and secure access patterns.
