## About the Role

Also, we ask that you read this job ad thoroughly before applying to make sure the position fits you and to make sure you meet our requirements. You must have experience at an MSP., Windows: Desktop & Server operating systems, Active Directory, AzureAD, Group Policy, RDS/Terminal Server and RDP.

PC Hardware: we do our own custom desktops/servers here, so know how to build, test, and isolate problems with processors, memory, power, graphics, etc. You'll also need to know how to perform basic laptop repair (hard drive/battery replacement).

Apple: MacOS, iOS Mail, iCloud.

Office Applications: Microsoft 365, Google Workspace.

Email: Exchange Online / On-Prem, IMAP, SMTP, POP3 (ugh), Gmail, Outlook, MX/SPF/DMARC records, email migration.

Virtualization: Hyper-V Server, VMware.

Backup: Veeam, StorageCraft, Datto and similar disaster-recovery services.

Routers & Firewalls: we primarily use Ubiquiti products, but you should know your way around other vendors' gear - Cisco, Sonicwall, Sophos, Fortigate, etc. You'll also run into plenty of Asus/Netgear/Linksys home routers.

Networking: DNS.

Okay fine, in addition to the above: Basic routing/switching, DHCP, VLANs, Subnets, VPNs

Command-line Tools: PowerShell & batch scripting, MacOS shell script. Be comfortable in a terminal!

Printers: proficiency with a sledgehammer, but also know how to set up a print server, when to reinstall drivers, and how to set up scan-to email on an MFP (Kyocera, Xerox, HP).

Other requirements:

A reliable vehicle

At least a CompTIA A+ or higher-level certification. Other Windows & networking certifications are definitely a plus, but not required.

Ideally, you'll have 2+ years of sysadmin experience at an MSP.
