About the Role

We're looking for a System Engineer I to provide hands-on technical support and system administration across multiple client environments.

This is not a basic helpdesk role. You'll work across Microsoft 365, Windows systems, identity and access management, endpoints, networking, security, backup and recovery, while supporting day-to-day IT operations for US-based clients.

You'll be part of a managed IT services environment, where you'll support different client environments, take ownership of technical issues through resolution, and work closely with senior engineers when more complex or higher-risk issues require escalation.

This is an early-career engineering role with opportunities to build broader experience across cloud, infrastructure, cybersecurity, disaster recovery, automation, and client-facing IT service delivery.

What You'll Do

• Provide hands-on technical support and system administration across multiple client environments.




• Administer and troubleshoot Microsoft 365 environments, including Entra ID, Exchange Online, user accounts, licensing, access, and endpoint/device administration.




• Support and troubleshoot Windows endpoints, applications, peripherals, and common network/connectivity issues.




• Support Windows Server, Active Directory, Group Policy, virtualization, and hybrid environments where applicable.




• Monitor and respond to technical issues and security alerts across endpoint, identity, email, and related security platforms.




• Support endpoint security, access controls, patching, software deployment, and security configurations in line with established standards.




• Monitor backup and disaster recovery systems, investigate routine failures, and support scheduled restore and recovery-validation activities.




• Support client onboarding, offboarding, environment discovery, implementation, and technical projects.




• Communicate directly with client users and stakeholders regarding technical issues and assigned projects.




• Use ticketing or PSA systems to track, document, and resolve incidents and service requests.




• Maintain accurate technical documentation, system records, inventories, diagrams, and knowledge articles.




• Use and progressively develop PowerShell or other automation tools to improve IT operations.




• Troubleshoot issues methodically, identify root causes, and take ownership through resolution.




• Escalate complex or higher-risk issues appropriately with clear diagnostics and supporting evidence.




• Coordinate with senior engineers, security teams, vendors, and service providers when required.




• Support other IT operational requirements and projects as needed.

What We're Looking For

IT Support / System Administration Experience – Required

• Minimum 2 years of hands-on experience in IT support, system administration, system engineering, or a similar role.

• Hands-on experience troubleshooting Windows environments, endpoints, applications, peripherals, and common technical issues.




• Strong foundational knowledge of networking and the ability to troubleshoot issues methodically.

Microsoft 365 – Required

• Working familiarity with Microsoft 365 administration is required.




• Experience or practical exposure to Entra ID, Exchange Online, and endpoint/device administration.




• Experience may come from professional work, hands-on labs, or relevant certification study.

PowerShell – Required

• Basic PowerShell familiarity is required.




• Able to safely read and run basic scripts.




• Willingness and aptitude to learn how to modify and develop scripts.

English Communication – Required

• Good written and spoken English communication skills are required.

• Comfortable supporting US-based clients and explaining technical issues clearly.

Managed IT / Multi-Client Experience – Preferred

• Experience working for a managed IT service provider, IT outsourcing company, service desk, or other environment supporting multiple clients is an advantage.




• Experience with RMM, MDM, endpoint security/EDR, PSA/ticketing, remote support, backup, or disaster recovery platforms is beneficial.




• Candidates without MSP experience may still be considered if they have strong relevant IT support or system administration experience.

Infrastructure & Security Experience – Preferred

• Experience with Windows Server, Active Directory, Group Policy, virtualization, or hybrid cloud/on-premises environments.




• Exposure to endpoint security, identity and access management, backup and disaster recovery, or cybersecurity operations.




• Experience with Google Workspace or other productivity platforms is an advantage.




• CompTIA A+, Network+, Security+, or relevant Microsoft certifications are beneficial.




• Experience working with vendors, ISPs, carriers, cloud providers, or other technology partners is an advantage.




• Exposure to regulated or security-conscious environments is a plus.




• Bachelor's degree in IT, Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field is helpful but not required.

Technical Troubleshooting & Work Style

• Strong problem-solving and troubleshooting skills.




• Able to investigate issues, test assumptions, and identify root causes rather than relying only on scripted fixes.




• Comfortable managing multiple priorities across different client environments.




• Understands when to resolve an issue independently and when to escalation.




• Detail-oriented and consistent with documentation, procedures, and change-control requirements.




• Comfortable learning new technologies and adapting to different client environments.




• Able to work independently while collaborating closely with senior engineering staff.
