Frequently asked questions
You need strong technical skills in system administration, networking, and troubleshooting. Proficiency in operating systems (Linux, Windows), cloud services, and security practices is essential. Good communication, problem-solving, and time management skills are also important for remote work.
Typically, a degree in computer science, information technology, or a related field is preferred.

You'll also be responsible for configuring hardware and software, and providing technical support to users.
Benefits include flexible work hours, the ability to work from any location, reduced commuting time, and often a better work-life balance. Remote Systems Administrators can also enjoy diverse job opportunities and exposure to various technologies across different industries.
