Systems Administrator / IT Security Officer

The United States Probation Department for the Eastern District of New York is accepting applications for an experienced full-time Systems Administrator/IT Security Officer. Duties include systems administration, implementing security/critical patches, remediating vulnerabilities, deploying hardware and software, and providing technical support to Probation staff. Duties also include determining security policies and implementing security measures and solutions to protect data and systems. As a condition of employment, the selected candidate must successfully complete a ten-year background investigation, and every five years thereafter will be subject to an updated investigation similar to the initial one. The investigation includes an FBI fingerprint check, as the position involves handling of confidential or highly sensitive information. The selected candidate may be appointed provisionally, and retention will depend upon favorable suitability determination of the background investigation. This position requires occasional travel between both of our offices located in Brooklyn, New York and Central Islip, New York; therefore a valid driver's license is required. Candidates must be able to lift and move items weighing up to fifty (50) pounds.
