Careers at Evolv IT
Network Administrator
Birmingham, Alabama or remote for the right candidate
Own secure, documented, and supportable networks across Evolv IT's compliance-driven client environments.
The Role
Own work that matters
You will be accountable for the network layer: firewalls, switching, wireless, VPNs, segmentation, monitoring, and the documentation that lets the whole team support each environment confidently.
What You Will Own
Responsibilities
The work
- Configure, harden, monitor, and maintain firewalls, switches, wireless systems, VPNs, and related network services.
- Troubleshoot performance, connectivity, routing, DNS, DHCP, and security issues across multi-vendor environments.
- Plan and execute network upgrades, replacements, migrations, and site deployments with disciplined change control.
- Maintain diagrams, inventories, configurations, standards, and recovery information for every environment touched.
- Review configurations for security gaps, unsupported equipment, weak segmentation, and operational risk.
- Support escalations and teach the service team how to diagnose network issues effectively.
What you bring
- Practical administration experience with business firewalls, managed switching, wireless, VLANs, VPNs, routing, DNS, and DHCP.
- Strong packet-level and layered troubleshooting habits.
- Understanding of network security, segmentation, MFA, remote access, backups, and configuration management.
- Ability to document networks clearly and execute changes without creating avoidable disruption.
- Networking and security certifications are helpful, but sound judgment and demonstrated ownership are essential.
What success looks like
- Networks are stable, secure, monitored, and documented to a consistent standard.
- Changes are planned, communicated, validated, and recoverable.
- The service team can understand each environment without relying on tribal knowledge.
- Recurring network incidents result in root-cause correction, not repeated workarounds.
What You Get
Work that develops your judgment and your career
Real problems with regulated stakes.
Healthcare, financial services, and professional services environments where uptime, security, and compliance genuinely matter. No busywork accounts.
A written standard instead of tribal knowledge.
Documented playbooks, documented environments, and a ticket standard that means you inherit clean work and leave clean work behind.
A defined path up.
Tier 2 develops toward Tier 3. Tier 3 develops toward architecture and leadership. Continuous learning is a Non-Negotiable here, which means the company invests in it, not just expects it.
W-2 with benefits, visible work.
Every seat has a number and every team has a scorecard. If you perform, everyone knows it.
