• Develop and maintain Infrastructure as Code (IaC) templates for repeatable MSP delivery
• Standardize cloud architectures to improve scalability, security, and operational efficiency
• Implement cloud security controls including IAM, network segmentation, logging, and compliance baselines
• Integrate cloud platforms with MSP toolsets (RMM, PSA, monitoring, backup, DR)
• Provide technical leadership on client projects, including design reviews and implementation guidance
• Partner with Sales and Solutions Engineering on pre‑sales architecture and client assessments
• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to internal runbooks and best practices

• Experience supporting Linux and Windows workloads in production
• Scripting and automation skills (Python, PowerShell, Bash)
• Experience implementing security frameworks and compliance controls (SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI, etc.)
• Strong troubleshooting skills in high‑availability, customer‑impacting environments

MSP‑Specific Competencies

• Ability to balance standardization vs. customization across diverse client environments
