## Description

You architect Microsoft 365 and Azure environments, including identity, security and governance, and you run security assessments that end in remediation plans a business owner can act on. When something goes wrong at a client, you're the escalation the engineers reach for.

You'll work alongside our senior technical leadership on the largest designs and the most complex compliance engagements, with room to take on more of both as you prove out. This role suits an engineer who has been the strongest technical person on their team and is ready to spend most of the week on design and security work with clients instead of tickets.

This is a full-time, exempt position reporting to the Owner and General Manager. The day is eight hours inside an 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. window, with a full hour for lunch.

What you will do

Architecture and design

 * Design client infrastructure (network, server, cloud and hybrid) and oversee it being built
 * Architect Microsoft 365 and Azure environments, including identity, security and governance
 * Design business continuity and disaster recovery that has been tested as well as documented
 * Contribute to multi-year technology roadmaps for managed clients

Security

 * Run client security assessments and drive the remediation work that follows
 * Serve as an escalation point for security incidents
 * Support compliance engagements (CMMC, HIPAA, NIST 800-171, PCI) under senior direction
 * Help maintain and improve our security standards across the client base

Client engagement

 * Sit with clients at the owner and manager level, put technical direction in business terms, and support solution scoping and proposals with accurate, buildable designs
 * Coach engineers and support staff on designs you hand off
