Firestorm is looking for a Senior Staff Systems Administrator who will design, maintain, and scale our core IT infrastructure and advanced systems environment. You will provide engineering and escalation support, oversee end-to-end endpoint provisioning and device management using NinjaOne and Microsoft Intune across Windows and macOS fleets, and manage enterprise Windows and Linux/Ubuntu servers. You will also administer complex hybrid environments, drive automation and vulnerability remediation, and enforce high-availability, robust security, and monitor standards across the organization.

At Firestorm, we are building the future of expeditionary defense manufacturing and autonomous systems.

From modular unmanned aircraft to xCell — our deployable microfactory — our goal is to make defense systems rapidly deployable, adaptable, and producible at the point of need.

We are looking for builders, operators, and problem-solvers who want to work on meaningful technology with real-world impact.
