Job summary

Landshark Recruiting is partnering with an established MSP that supports 100+ businesses across the DC metro area and beyond. The firm has built a growing Microsoft 365 security and AI-readiness practice to secure tenants for safe Copilot adoption.

This role is a senior, hands-on engineer and the top technical escalation point above the help desk and field teams. You’ll train with the engineers who built the security practice, then take over escalations within about six months.

Qualifications

• 6+ years of Microsoft 365 and network engineering in MSP or multi-tenant environments.
• Hands‑on experience deploying Conditional Access, Intune and Purview in client tenants
• Strong networking skills: firewalls, VLANs, VPN and Wi‑Fi (SonicWall or Cisco is a plus)
• A security‑first mindset: Zero Trust, Defender for Endpoint and Office 365, MDR tooling, and a track record of improving Secure Score
• Regular, practical use of PowerShell and Microsoft Graph
• Strong documentation skills, including runbooks others can actually follow
• Patience for coaching junior engineers

Responsibilities

• Own the architecture across the client base. M365, identity, endpoints, network, backup and security for a portfolio of client environments.
• Take the escalations. Resolve them, document them, hand them back, and teach the front line so the next one doesn’t come to you.
• Deliver security and AI-readiness deployments. Tenant assessments, Purview, Conditional Access, Intune, Defender and Copilot readiness, typically about two weeks per client.
• Scope and deliver projects. Migrations, Intune rollouts, firewall replacements and M365 cleanups. Quote the hours, then hit them.
• Join account managers in client meetings. Handle the technical side and explain it in the client’s language, not ours.
