We’re partnering with a leading client to find a Senior Systems Engineer to join their team. You’ll own the identity and infrastructure services that decide who gets into critical systems and how safely they do it. If you enjoy hybrid identity work, PowerShell automation, and solving authentication problems that other teams can’t crack, this role puts all three in your week.
What You’ll Own
- You’ll have the opportunity to administer and secure Active Directory (the directory service that manages users, devices, and access) and Microsoft Entra ID (Microsoft’s cloud identity platform, formerly Azure AD) in a hybrid environment.
- You’ll integrate applications with single sign-on (SSO) and manage Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS), so users get secure access with one login.
- You’ll run core network services, including DNS (Domain Name System), DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), and PKI (public key infrastructure, the certificate system behind secure connections).
- You’ll build PowerShell automation that removes repetitive work and improves reliability.
- You’ll troubleshoot complex authentication and access issues from first symptom to root cause.
- You’ll work with infrastructure, cloud, security, and application teams on VMware, Azure Local, Rubrik, Dell infrastructure, and Zerto.
What You Bring
Must-haves
- 3+ years of hands-on experience in systems administration or engineering with Active Directory and Microsoft Entra ID
- Deep experience with ADFS, SSO integrations, DNS, DHCP, and PKI/certificate services
- Advanced PowerShell scripting for automation and troubleshooting
- Experience supporting hybrid identity, authentication, and access management
Nice-to-haves
- Working knowledge of VMware, Azure Local, Rubrik, Dell infrastructure, and Zerto
What We Offer
- On-site contract role with a hands-on, high-visibility scope
- Contract type of W2 or 1099, depending on what suits you
- Exposure to a broad enterprise stack across identity, virtualization, backup and disaster recovery
- A role that works across infrastructure, cloud, security and application teams
- Support from a recruiter who knows the role and the client
About the Team
You’ll join an infrastructure group that works closely with cloud, security and application teams. You’ll be trusted with systems the business depends on every day.
