What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Systems Administrator position at Adaptive Home Health?
Role: Senior Systems Administrator
Company: Fira Health/Adaptive Home Health
Location: Remote-first
About Us
We are fixing US healthcare by building an AI-native physical care platform, starting with home health.
Home health is a $140B industry with less than $10B in EBITDA — 40% of revenue is spent on pure administrative waste. We automate this work with AI, creating a fundamentally different cost structure compared to incumbents. This lets us rapidly take market share by serving the 30% of patients who go untreated today.
We've built one of the best AI teams in the world (from Character AI, Scale, Palantir, Citadel, Jane Street) and paired them with a team of healthcare veterans and strategists to build a new type of healthcare company: one that delivers care at the speed of an AI company.
Our physical care platform already operates with 30pp higher gross margins than traditional home health providers. With our AI advantage, we pay nurses more, remove their admin burden, and unlock the scale economics that have been missing from this fragmented industry.
We're starting with home health, then expanding to all delivered care. Our mission is "any care, any where".
Fundamentally, our incentives are aligned with America. Every dollar in revenue we make is two dollars taken out of the healthcare system. If we succeed, so does US healthcare.
The Opportunity — Systems Infrastructure
We're scaling from 500 to 2,500 employees over the next year while integrating multiple acquired entities. Our IT infrastructure needs to match the speed of an AI company—not the bureaucracy of traditional healthcare.
We're Insourcing IT Operations And Building a Unified, Secure Platform Across All Business Units. This Means Consolidating Fragmented Systems, Hardening Security And Compliance, And Creating The Infrastructure That Lets Our Clinical And AI Teams Move Fast Without Breaking Things. Think Of It As a Blend Of
This role is designed for you if you have a low ego, love solving problems that matter, and are ready to build infrastructure for an industry-changing company.
What You'll Do
You'll own and drive high-impact, ambiguous problems end-to-end, such as:
We're looking for high-ceiling, low-ego builders. This is a startup, and every day brings its own adventure. If you bias to action and want early ownership, this is the place for you.

- Defensive design (prevent attacks at every layer, but also prepare for breaches, minimize blast radius, and detect incidents fast)
- Greenfield architecture (you'll have latitude to design best-in-class infrastructure, not patch legacy systems)
- Frictionless operations security (tight access control with low friction — make the secure path the easy path)
This role is designed for you if you have a low ego, love solving problems that matter, and are ready to build infrastructure for an industry-changing company.
What You'll Do
You'll own and drive high-impact, ambiguous problems end-to-end, such as:
- Own security posture across all systems
- Implement and enforce cybersecurity controls: MFA, conditional access, EDR, vulnerability scanning, and secure remote access
- Lead incident response and coordinate with our security partners
- Maintain HIPAA-aligned technical safeguards and support CMS and state audits
- Build and maintain security documentation, policies, and system diagrams—we cannot secure what we cannot see
- Architect and maintain cloud infrastructure
- Deploy and maintain Microsoft 365, Entra ID, Intune, VPNs, and virtual desktop environments
- Manage backups, disaster recovery, monitoring, and patch management
- Lead system upgrades, migrations, and integrations as we consolidate business units
- Drive M&A system integration
- Lead post-acquisition integration: directory consolidation, email migrations, endpoint standardization, network integration, legacy decommissioning
- Participate in IT due diligence for acquisitions—system inventories, security posture assessments, risk identification
- Develop repeatable IT integration playbooks to support our ongoing acquisition strategy
- Manage endpoints across a distributed workforce
- Secure Windows, macOS, and mobile devices using MDM platforms (Intune, Jamf, Knox)
- Standardize device configurations, encryption, and compliance policies
- Own asset tracking and lifecycle management for field and corporate staff
- Partner with operations to enable fast, secure growth
- Support and administer business-critical platforms: HRIS/Payroll (ADP, Rippling), EHR/EMR (Homecare Homebase), compliance systems (Relias)
- Partner with HR on secure onboarding/offboarding—our target is same-day provisioning and immediate access revocation
- Provide escalation support for complex issues impacting remote and field-based staff
We're looking for high-ceiling, low-ego builders. This is a startup, and every day brings its own adventure. If you bias to action and want early ownership, this is the place for you.
