Job description

About the Role-:

We are looking for a hands‑on End‑User & Systems Engineer to own day‑to‑day IT operations at New Delhi and provide remote support to users across our other locations in India. You will be the first and last line of support for everything a user touches laptops, applications, email, connectivity while also administering the local network, Windows servers and our Microsoft 365 tenant.

This is a broad, high‑ownership role suited to someone who enjoys both fixing problems quickly and building the standards that stop them recurring. You will work directly with a diverse user base across cities and states, so clear communication matters as much as technical depth.

Key Responsibilities-:

• Provide end-to-end support on all end‑user devices, operating systems, productivity software and peripherals desktops, laptops, printers, mobile devices.
• Own incidents and service requests through the service desk: log, triage, resolve within agreed SLAs, and elevate where needed.
• Commission and provision devices for new joiners hardware, OS image, software, network access and device enrolment and complete the defined exit process for leavers (hardware recovery, data, mailbox handling).
• Support both on‑site and remote users with equal responsiveness, coordinating across time zones and locations.
• Build and maintain a self‑service knowledge base and how‑to guides to reduce repeat tickets.

Network & Security Infrastructure

• Deploy, configure and run network and security devices including Layer 2/3 switches, firewalls/UTMs, wireless access points.
• Administer TCP/IP networking, VLANs, access lists, NAT, routing, content filtering and site‑to‑site / remote‑access VPNs.

Servers, Cloud & Collaboration

• Administer and troubleshoot Windows Server (2016/2019/2022), Active Directory, DNS, DHCP, Group Policy and file/print services.
• Manage the Microsoft 365 tenant Exchange Online, Teams, SharePoint and OneDrive — including licensing, security and compliance settings.
• Administer identity and device management through Microsoft Entra ID and Intune, including conditional access, compliance policies and application deployment.
• Run and secure email services: anti‑spam and anti‑phishing controls, DMARC/DKIM/SPF, mail flow rules and mailbox data protection.
• Support and administer workloads on Azure or AWS as our cloud footprint grows.

Data Protection & Continuity

• Own backup and recovery for endpoints, servers and cloud data; test restores on a defined schedule rather than assuming backups work.
• Maintain data security and privacy controls across storage, transit and endpoints, in line with company policy and applicable data protection law.
• Contribute to business continuity and disaster recovery planning for IT services at your site.

Governance, Documentation & Vendor Management

• Maintain an accurate asset inventory of all hardware, software licences and subscriptions, including renewal tracking.
• Keep documentation current through joiner, mover and leaver events, and file all hard and soft records in the specified locations.
• Engage vendors and service providers for procurement, quotations, support escalations and periodic performance review.
• Report on IT service performance, recurring issues and infrastructure risks to the IT lead.
