It support & systems administrator (Ciudad de México)

About the RoleMaxima Apparel is a licensed sportswear company with about 800 employees in our Westbury, NY headquarters and additional offices in Mexico City, India, Egypt, and China. We're hiring a Systems Administrator to take full ownership of IT operations in our Mexico City office, reporting directly to the CTO.The most important part of this job is taking care of our people. When someone has a problem, you fix it quickly and completely. When a new hire starts, their equipment is ready, their accounts work, and they feel like someone has their back from day one. When something breaks, you're already on it. That reliability and responsiveness is the foundation of everything else in this role.Beyond daily support, you'll also own the care and maintenance of our on-prem infrastructure and participate in larger projects with CTO direction. Some days you're helping someone get set up with a new laptop. Other days you're replacing drives in a server rack, running cable for new access points, or working through a mailbox migration. The variety is the point.Your Day-to-DayUser support and onboarding come first. This is what you'll spend most of your time on:- Be the go-to IT person for: 100 employees. Respond quickly, follow through, and close the loop.
- Own new hire onboarding end to end — provision hardware, set up accounts (AD, email, ERP, internal tools), test everything, and hand it off clean.
- Day-to-day maintenance. Keep workstations, printers, conference room tech, and shared equipment running well. Stay ahead of issues before they break.
- Support a mixed environment — Windows, Mac, and some Linux.Infrastructure You'll Maintain:- Multiple physical server racks with on-prem Windows and Linux servers.

- Wi Fi overhaul — proper mounting, cabling, and reconfiguration of wireless infrastructure

- Cross-platform experience — Windows, Mac, and at least basic Linux (Ubuntu).
- Comfortable with networking fundamentals — DNS, DHCP, VLANs, basic routing and firewall concepts.
- Hands-on experience with server hardware — you've racked servers, replaced drives, swapped cache modules, dealt with i LO/IPMI.
- Can terminate CAT6, mount access points, run cable — this role includes real physical infrastructure work.
- Can execute projects with direction — you understand the goal, stay aligned with the plan, and follow through without needing to be managed step by step.
