## About the Role

* Solid foundation in Windows Server, Active Directory, M365, and Entra ID

 * Experience with at least one virtualization/backup platform (VMware, Hyper-V, or Veeam)

## Description

This role is designed for a hands-on engineer who wants to help build a growing technology services organization from the ground floor. The successful candidate will work directly with the owner and have a meaningful impact on the operational and technical direction of the business, with growing input into strategic decisions as the role expands.

About the Role

You'll help build, document, and support our CHESS One platform and client environments - combining systems engineering, network deployment, and managed services support. This isn't a "keep the lights on" role. You'll be turning tribal knowledge into runbooks, standardizing how we deploy and support infrastructure, and helping build a platform that can scale.

What You'll Do

 * Build and maintain technical runbooks, SOPs, and onboarding/offboarding documentation - your top priority in the first 90 days, as we capture critical institutional knowledge and standardize how we operate
 * Deploy and support client network infrastructure (switching, routing, wireless, firewalls, remote access)
 * Provide escalation-level troubleshooting for managed services clients
 * Support server, virtualization, and cloud environments (M365, Entra ID)
 * Participate in multi-site deployments - staging, rack-and-stack, on-site and remote implementation
 * Help identify opportunities to standardize and automate recurring work
