About the role

Ardent is seeking a Tier 3 System Administrator Lead to join our team in Washington, DC. The role focuses on end-to-end operational integrity of the Museum's server ecosystem, spanning on-prem, virtual, and cloud environments. Responsibilities include leading administration, patching, backup verification, and disaster recovery, with after-hours escalation for 24x7 needs. Strong Linux/Windows, VMware, and AWS experience are essential.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
