Senior Systems Engineer, Technology Advisory

Role Overview

• Serve as a senior escalation point for complex infrastructure incidents and problems; drive root-cause analysis and permanent remediation.
• Design, implement, and maintain Windows and/or Linux server environments (physical, virtual, and cloud-hosted) following security and availability best practices.
• Administer identity and access services (e.g., Active Directory/Azure AD/Entra ID), including group policy, authentication, and privileged access controls.
• Partner with network and security teams to align infrastructure design with segmentation, firewalling, logging, vulnerability management, and compliance requirements.
• Plan and execute system upgrades, patching, and lifecycle activities with minimal downtime; create and validate rollback plans.
• Implement and maintain virtualization and/or container platforms (e.g., VMware/Hyper-V, Kubernetes) and supporting storage and backup services.
• Automate routine administration and deployment tasks using scripting and configuration management (e.g., PowerShell, Bash, Ansible, Terraform).
• Monitor performance and capacity; establish alerting, dashboards, and operational runbooks to improve reliability and mean time to resolution (MTTR).
• Maintain secure baselines and remediate noncompliance with IT policies, hardening standards, and audit requirements.
• Lead technical discovery and produce architecture/design documentation; estimate effort, identify risks, and coordinate delivery with cross-functional teams.
• Drive endpoint/server tooling and platform operations including monitoring agents, EDR, backup, and configuration standards across the lifecycle.
• Support hybrid-cloud operations (e.g., Azure/AWS), including networking integration, compute/storage services, and identity/security alignment.
• Mentor junior engineers, contribute to standards and documentation, and continuously improve processes through post-incident reviews and automation.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, or equivalent experience.
• 5+ years of progressive systems/infrastructure engineering experience (managed services or multi-client environments a plus).
• Strong troubleshooting skills across OS, virtualization, storage/backup, and networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, routing).
• Hands-on experience with Windows Server and/or Linux administration; AD/Azure AD (Entra ID) identity and group policy experience preferred.
• Experience with cloud platforms (Azure and/or AWS) and core services (compute, storage, IAM, networking) preferred.
• Proficiency in automation/scripting (PowerShell and/or Bash); infrastructure-as-code and configuration management experience preferred.
• Demonstrated ability to lead technical workstreams, document designs, and communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Experience with security best practices (hardening, vulnerability remediation, EDR/AV, patching, MFA) and audit/compliance support.
• Relevant certifications are a plus (e.g., Microsoft, AWS, VMware, CompTIA Security+/Network+, ITIL).
