Description
Step into a role where your expertise directly strengthens the Air Force’s intelligence enterprise across the Indo‑Pacific. As a Systems Administrator supporting PACAF A2Y at Joint Base Pearl Harbor–Hickam, you’ll operate at the center of a globally distributed mission, ensuring the reliability, security, and performance of critical JWICS‑connected systems. You’ll join a team trusted to sustain and modernize enterprise‑level services—from Active Directory and Exchange to virtualization, backups, patching, and cross‑domain solutions—while shaping the technical standards that keep PACAF’s intelligence operations mission‑ready. This is an opportunity to apply deep technical skill, influence enterprise architecture, and support operators across the Pacific in a role where system uptime isn’t just a metric—it’s a strategic advantage.
