Position Overview

We are seeking an experienced Systems Engineer to help support, automate, and continuously improve a Microsoft-focused cloud and technology environment. This role combines hands-on systems support and administration with automation, cloud services, infrastructure improvements, and low-code development.

The Systems Engineer will work across Microsoft 365, Azure, Entra ID, Intune, Power Platform, Dynamics 365, and related technologies. A major focus of the position is identifying repetitive or manual processes and developing scripts, workflows, and other solutions that improve efficiency and reduce recurring support needs.

This is a strong opportunity for someone who enjoys working across systems engineering, cloud administration, automation, and application platforms rather than specializing in just one technology.

Key Responsibilities

• Administer and support Microsoft 365 and cloud-based services.
• Support Microsoft Azure, Entra ID, and Intune environments.
• Automate routine IT processes, including user onboarding, account provisioning, and system configuration.
• Develop and maintain low-code solutions using Power Apps, Power Automate, and Logic Apps.
• Support and administer Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement applications.
• Manage and maintain Microsoft Dataverse tables, views, schemas, and related components.
• Develop PowerShell and other scripts to automate administrative and operational tasks.
• Build and maintain Azure DevOps CI/CD pipelines as needed.
• Troubleshoot complex issues across Azure and other technology environments.
• Support endpoint management, asset lifecycle processes, and security posture.
• Monitor and support log aggregation and security monitoring platforms such as Splunk and Microsoft Sentinel.
• Assist with backup, disaster recovery, and business continuity technologies.
• Develop flows, scripts, and system improvements that reduce recurring support tickets and manual work.
• Document system configurations, technical procedures, diagrams, and changes.
• Participate in cloud and infrastructure projects and recommend opportunities for technical improvement.
• Work collaboratively across systems, cloud, security, and support functions.
• Support Windows Server environments.
