## About the Role

· 3-10 years of network administration experience in a Windows environment (Linux a plus)

· Strong Microsoft 365 and Entra ID administration; solid IP networking fundamentals

· Solid knowledge of cybersecurity fundamentals

· You finish things. You close your tickets, you log your time, you write the documentation. Not because someone's checking, but because that's how you work

· You stay level when things break. Servers go down, clients get upset. You get quieter and more methodical, not louder. Communication is gold.

· You're self-managing. Small team, you own outcomes, and nobody stands behind you with a checklist

· Current valid driver's license with a clean driving record

· Nice to have: industry certifications, a degree in Computer Science or related field, PowerShell, Fortinet/FortiGate, Ruckus, CIS Controls

THIS IS NOT YOU

· You'd rather work alone in the dark and skip the documentation and the time entries

· Half-finished projects follow you from job to job

· Pressure makes you sharp with people because you know everything

· You've heard "we automate with AI" and you plan to quietly keep doing it the manual way, * Computer networking: 3 years (Required)

## Description

· RMM policies, patch compliance, and backup health verification across on-prem and cloud

· Monitoring and alert tuning, so the board is quiet because it's tuned, not because nobody's watching

· Microsoft 365 and Entra ID administration

· The security stack: EDR/MDR, MFA, conditional access

Professional Services client projects start to finish:

· Server refreshes, migrations, cloud moves

· Network builds: design, secure, and operate routers, switches, and firewalls

· Deliver projects on time and within scope, with extensive, accurate documentation for every system you touch

Automation the part most MSPs only talk about:

We run one of the most automated delivery stacks of any MSP our size. AI-assisted, self-built dashboards, automated reconciliation, PowerShell everywhere. You don't need to be a developer. You need to want the robot to do the boring part, and to be the kind of engineer who fixes a problem once and then makes sure it never comes back. We leverage AI differently than most MSP's and especially the ones our side. We work to automate everything.
