About IT & Systems jobs

IT and systems jobs cover the people who keep computing infrastructure running and working for everyone else in the company. The titles span help desk and IT support, system administrators (Linux, Windows, macOS), network engineers, cloud engineers (AWS, Azure, GCP / Google Cloud Platform), DevOps and platform engineers, identity and access management (IAM / identity and access management), endpoint management, internal applications administration (Workday, Salesforce, Okta, Atlassian), and IT leadership (IT manager, director, CIO / chief information officer). The work shifts from reactive (incident response, ticket queue) at the support end to proactive infrastructure design and automation at the senior end.

Postings here come from the same multi-source feed: broad aggregators, federal feeds, remote-only listings, and tech-heavy boards. The full list refreshes once a day. You'll see IT support roles at companies of every size, cloud and DevOps positions at growth-stage tech, system administrator positions at mid-market companies, federal IT roles, and the occasional MSP / managed service provider position.

Signed in? The list is re-ranked against your values assessment, so the roles at the top are the ones that line up with what actually matters to you: comp, the specific function (support vs. infrastructure vs. cloud), industry, on-call expectations, the team. The scoring math is the same for everyone; the weighting is yours.

What does an IT and systems job pay?

IT pay scales sharply by function. Help desk and IT support: $40-65k entry, $60-85k senior support. System administrators: $70-110k mid-career. Network engineers: $85-130k. Cloud engineers and DevOps engineers (AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes): $120-180k mid-career, $180-260k+ at senior, $280k+ at staff/principal levels at well-funded tech companies. Site reliability engineers (SREs / site reliability engineers) at growth-stage tech and at FAANG-tier (Meta, Apple, Amazon, Netflix, Google) companies clear $250-450k+ at senior levels. IT leadership: IT director $150-220k, CIO at growth-stage SaaS $250-450k, CIO at large enterprise $350k-$1M+. Federal IT roles follow the GS / General Schedule scale, generally below private but with strong benefits. Certifications (AWS, Azure, CCNA / Cisco Certified Network Associate, CISSP / Certified Information Systems Security Professional) translate to real pay bumps in the right roles.

Are IT and systems jobs hiring remote?

Highly remote-friendly for infrastructure, cloud, and DevOps roles. The work runs on cloud platforms and remote tooling, and most growth-stage tech companies hire these roles fully remote without hesitation. IT support roles split: tier-1 helpdesk at companies with physical offices often require some on-site presence for hardware support; remote-first companies hire helpdesk fully remote. System administrators at companies running on-prem infrastructure require on-site visits for hardware work. Federal IT roles trend hybrid or on-site, especially for cleared positions. MSP work is mixed; remote MSPs are growing as the market shifts toward cloud-first customers. The remote toggle on this page filters to listings tagged remote-only or remote-first.

Entry-level vs senior IT and systems roles

Entry-level IT is one of the most accessible technical fields without a CS / computer science degree. Help desk and IT support roles routinely hire candidates with associate degrees, IT certifications (CompTIA A+, Network+, Security+), or self-taught backgrounds. The path forward is well-trodden: helpdesk to systems administrator to network engineer or cloud engineer; or helpdesk to security analyst to security engineer. Senior cloud and DevOps roles are competitive because the strongest candidates often have software engineering chops in addition to systems experience. Cloud certifications (AWS Certified Solutions Architect, Azure Administrator, GCP Professional Cloud Architect) carry real weight at the senior level. Calibrating senior level from a listing: scope (a single application stack vs. multi-region infrastructure), team size, on-call responsibilities, and whether the role involves architecting systems vs. operating systems someone else architected.

How to compare two IT and systems offers

IT offers vary on dimensions that significantly affect day-to-day quality of work. Pin down: the on-call rotation (how frequently, how disruptive, what's the response SLA / service level agreement), the actual tech stack (modern cloud-native vs. legacy on-prem; greenfield vs. brownfield), the maturity of the team's incident response (real runbooks and well-defined escalation, or chaos), the change-management overhead (does it take a day or three weeks to roll out a config change), and the company's stance on automation (do they invest in tooling, or do you carry pager weight through pure operational toil). WorkWomp's offer comparison handles this kind of multi-variable decision. Save both offers, run the 5-minute values assessment so the scoring weights what actually matters to you, drop in interview notes (the on-call burden, the tech stack, the team's maturity), and the breakdown shows which offer wins where.

Common questions

  • What's the difference between IT support, sysadmin, and DevOps?

    Three roles along the same skill curve. IT support owns user-facing problems: a laptop won't connect to wifi, an account locked, a printer won't print. The work is reactive and ticket-driven. Sysadmin owns the infrastructure end of the same problems: configuring servers, managing identity, maintaining email and file shares, patching systems. The work mixes reactive (incidents) and proactive (architecture, hardening, automation). DevOps and platform engineering own the systems that other engineers use to deploy code and run services: CI / continuous integration pipelines, container orchestration (Kubernetes), cloud infrastructure-as-code (Terraform), observability stacks. The work is mostly proactive, software-engineering-shaped, and increasingly indistinguishable from senior software engineering at infrastructure-heavy companies.

  • Are cloud certifications worth pursuing?

    Yes for breaking in or pivoting; less critical once you're already in the field. AWS, Azure, and GCP / Google Cloud Platform certifications are widely recognized credentials. AWS Solutions Architect Associate is the most common entry-level cloud cert and signals you've spent meaningful time learning the platform. The certifications matter most when you're trying to make a career change (IT support to cloud, network engineer to cloud, software engineer to platform), less when you have 5+ years of hands-on cloud experience that speaks for itself. Mid-level and senior cloud engineers often skip recerts because the work in production demonstrates the skill more clearly than the credential.

  • How do I move from IT support to cloud engineering?

    Standard transition. The path: learn one cloud provider deeply (AWS first because the job market is largest; Azure second), build a personal portfolio (a deployed web app on EC2, a Lambda-based API, a small terraform project), and pitch yourself into cloud-adjacent roles within your current company first. Internal moves are easier than external because your current team knows you. If internal moves aren't possible, target companies running modest cloud workloads (mid-market SaaS, growth-stage startups) rather than top-tier tech companies for your first cloud role. Build hands-on experience with Linux, containers, networking fundamentals, and infrastructure-as-code along the way. The pay bump from senior helpdesk to junior cloud engineer is significant; the trade-off is the work involves much more programming.

  • Is IT a dying field?

    Not dying, transforming. Traditional helpdesk and on-prem sysadmin work is shrinking as companies move workloads to the cloud and adopt SaaS for internal tools (Slack, Notion, Google Workspace, Workday). Cloud, DevOps, security, and platform engineering are growing fast. The careers that compound are the ones that move up the stack: helpdesk to sysadmin to cloud, sysadmin to security, network engineer to cloud network engineer. IT pros who stay rooted in 2010-era skills (deep on-prem AD admin, Windows server farms, traditional firewall hardware) face shrinking job markets. IT pros who lean into cloud, automation, and security have a strong career runway.

  • Is AI replacing IT and systems jobs?

    AI is reshaping tier-1 IT support fastest. Companies are routing routine helpdesk tickets (password resets, basic troubleshooting, common configuration questions) through AI agents, reducing helpdesk seat counts at many enterprises. The roles being squeezed: tier-1 helpdesk technicians doing repetitive volume, junior sysadmins whose work is mostly running standard playbooks, and traditional NOC / network operations center operators. The roles holding or growing: cloud engineers, platform engineers, SREs, security engineers, anyone whose work involves designing systems and debugging novel problems. The honest framing: if your IT work is mostly running standard playbooks against known problems, AI is competing for your seat. If your work involves diagnosing novel failures and architecting systems, you're fine.
