  • Respond to and resolve Level 2/3 support tickets and escalations.
  • Plan, design, and implement infrastructure projects such as server builds, virtualization, cloud migrations, and security improvements.

  • Configure and support Active Directory, Group Policy, DNS, DHCP, VPN, and remote access solutions.
  • Maintain backup and disaster recovery solutions, regularly verify backups, and participate in restoration testing.

  • Several years of experience in systems engineering or administration, ideally in an MSP or multi‑client environment.
  • Strong knowledge of Windows Server, Active Directory, Group Policy, DNS, DHCP, and Microsoft 365.
  • Experience with virtualization platforms (VMware vSphere/ESXi, Hyper‑V).
  • Solid understanding of networking fundamentals: VLANs, VPNs, routing, switches, and firewalls.
  • Familiarity with backup/DR tools and RMM/PSA platforms (e.g., Datto, Veeam, ConnectWise, Autotask).
  • Strong troubleshooting, documentation, and customer service skills, with the ability to manage multiple client environments at once.
