Job Overview
Youve been the best person on the help desk for a while now. You close tickets faster than anyone but thats not what defines you what defines you is that youre already thinking three layers deeper than the ticket requires. Youve got broad shoulders technically you build things in your homelab on weekends youre chasing certifications on your own time and youre ready to stop being the person who escalates and start being the person who gets escalated to.
Urology of Virginia is a high-performance specialty practice and this is not a general IT opportunity. The clinical environment here is complex fast-moving and unforgiving patient care workflows depend on systems working and the people in this role need to understand why thats true not just accept it as a given. If youre someone who gets genuinely curious about how an EHR talks to a billing platform how e-prescribing compliance intersects with DEA regulation or why a PACS integration failing at 8AM is a fundamentally different kind of fire than a printer being offline youre the kind of person were building this role around.
Youll start embedded in our help desk environment working alongside a managed service provider handling frontline support. Thats not a ceiling its a foundation. The trajectory from here is to grow into the senior engineer who owns the internal infrastructure layer and serves as the connective tissue between our MSP partner and our external security and network administration team. This role will own that middle seat and the right person will thrive in it.
