About Hopscotch Primary Care

At Hopscotch Primary Care, we believe great healthcare should be accessible to all people across all communities.  Today, almost 20% of Americans live in a rural community, yet only 11% of physicians practice in those same communities.  We are on a mission to transform healthcare in rural America.  We provide high-quality primary care tailored to meet the needs of our patients through our robust care model and comprehensive care team, delivering care in our clinics, and across settings, and wrapping resources around the patients who need them most.   

Our patients and the care teams who serve them sit at the center of everything we do at Hopscotch.  Hopscotch Primary Care takes a team approach to serve patient needs and provide the best care possible.  Our goal is to provide the care each of us would want for ourselves or for our family members, in the right setting, and at the right time. 

Today, we are serving thousands of patients in our value-based care model and the number is growing every day.  If you want to bring your experience, skill and passion to make a lasting impact in healthcare, we’d like to meet you. 

ABOUT THE ROLE 

We are looking for a Systems Administrator to join our team at a critical and exciting time for the company. In this role, you will be responsible for ensuring that Hopscotch’s core IT platforms are reliable, well-operated, and continuously improving as the organization scales. You will be trusted to operate independently, lead projects end-to-end, and proactively identify improvements that strengthen clinical operations, service quality, and IT system experience. 

RESPONSIBILITIES  

Near-term focus areas for this role will include, but are not limited to: 

  • Own and support the full lifecycle of core IT systems used across corporate and clinic environments. 
  • Lifecycle management of all hardware and software. 
  • Endpoint and server management, configuration, and support. 
  • Cloud platform and SaaS administration, including licensing and access governance. 
  • Identity & Access Management (IAM) administration and support across systems. 
  • Ensure systems are configured to meet security, compliance, and operational standards. 
  • Ensure the reliability, scalability, and performance of IT infrastructure through proactive improvement and automation. 
  • Monitor and improve service quality across IT systems and networks using defined metrics (e.g., Availability, performance, incident trends, etc). 
  • Identify recurring operational issues and drive corrective actions within assigned systems, through change management and improvements. 
  • Drive infrastructure efficiency and performance within assigned systems, including design, implementation, and ongoing iteration. 
  • Design and build internal tools and automations to solve operational needs (e.g., AI agents, Foundry pipelines, Azure Playbooks). 
  • Maintain clear, consistent, and well-documented IT standards that support scale, security, and operational reality. 
  • Contribute to the creation, review, and implementation of IT policies and procedures. 
  • Support disaster recovery and business continuity planning, testing, and implementation. 
  • Ensure system changes are implemented thoughtfully and consistently to reduce variance, risk, and configuration drift. 
  • Provide high-quality technical support while continuously improving service delivery and user experience. 
  • Serve as the escalation point for complex or high-impact technical issues. 
  • Own the quality, accuracy, and usefulness of IT ticket data. 
  • Use operational signals (ticket trends, response times, failure patterns) to inform prioritization and drive improvements. 
  • Propose and implement improvements to support workflows based on measured impact and feedback. 

ABOUT YOU:  

  • Business-oriented with the ability to articulate business needs, scope solutions and clearly communicate value and timing of work. 
  • Data-informed and decisive - confident making prioritization decisions using a mix of qualitative insights, quantitative data, KPIs and expected business impact.  
  • A clear and compelling communicator; able to articulate the strategy and value of the tactical roadmap items to audiences ranging from technical peers to executive leadership.  
  • Self-aware and resilient, able to recognize missteps, learn from execution failures and re-engage with confidence and a bias toward action.  
  • From a cultural perspective, you are:    
  • Accountable. You hold a high standard and you expect it from others too.  
  • Someone who treats mistakes as data. You move fast, name what isn't working, fix it, and carry the lesson forward.  
  • Customer-obsessed. You build genuine empathy with users, dig into what they actually need, and stay focused on solving real problems.  
  • A problem-solver, not a finger-pointer. You own challenges alongside your teammates - no blame, no deflection, just shared accountability for finding the way forward.  
  • A contributor who shapes the answer. You bring your strengths and perspective to every conversation because rigorous debate is how the strongest solutions get built.  
  • Comfortable with uncertainty. The plan will change and the priorities will shift - you make smart calls with what you have and course-correct with good judgement when things evolve.  

QUALIFICATIONS: 

  • 2+ years of IT / Helpdesk / system administration experience 
  • Bachelor’s degree (computer science, engineering or technical discipline) 
  • A degree is not required; we heavily encourage you to apply regardless of college experience. 
  • Experience in maintaining troubleshooting a wide variety of systems and networks. 

Preferred:  

  • Experience with Identity & Endpoint management for both Mac and Windows. 
  • Experience with Network management and tooling (e.g., VLAN/WLAN) 
  • Experience with cybersecurity principles (CIA) 
  • Experience with AI tooling such as Claude (Code), ChatGPT (Codex), and/or similar tools. 
  • Comp TIA   
  • Network+ Certification 
  • Security + Certification 

 

At Hopscotch Primary Care, we embrace diversity, invest in a culture of inclusion and positivity and encourage all to apply to join our team.  You will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, genetics, disability, age, or veteran status.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 07/31/2029

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
