Senior IT Engineer Tampa, FL

Next Perimeter runs IT and security for companies that want both to be quiet. The job is engineering calm: standardized environments, a modern stack, and no legacy infrastructure to babysit.

The inside of the company works the same way. Clear goals every quarter. Your own lane, with no layer between you and the outcome. The salary range is on the listing. PTO is unlimited. Hybrid opens up after onboarding. Offices in Tampa and Los Angeles.

Calm. By design.

We're hiring a Senior IT Engineer to own two things: delivering client projects and being the final technical escalation point for our help desk. This is a hands‑on role for an engineer who loves to build but also understands the business value of what they're building.

You'll lead client projects from signed scope to handoff: network builds and wireless redesigns, Microsoft 365 tenant‑to‑tenant migrations, office and data center moves, new‑client onboarding, and client offboarding. At kickoff, you'll review the scope and flag anything that doesn't add up before work starts. From there, you'll run the technical work and serve as the client's go‑to engineer while the project is live.

Your calendar includes protected blocks for focused engineering work, so complex builds aren't constantly interrupted.

You'll also own the hardest tickets. When an issue goes past our Tier III team lead, whether it's a hybrid identity sync failure, a Conditional Access lockout, or a site‑down network outage, it comes to you. You won't just close the ticket. You'll find out why it happened, fix the root cause, and turn the fix into a standard or an automation so it doesn't come back.

You'll help keep client environments on standard, too. When you see a client drifting from The IT & Security Blueprint, such as legacy authentication left enabled or shadow IT creeping in, you'll flag it and carry out the remediation. What you learn on real implementations feeds back into our configuration templates.

Along the way, you'll mentor our technicians on cloud identity, endpoint management, and networking.

You have 5+ years in IT engineering. We're looking for mastery, or close to it, in the modern Microsoft and security stack:
Microsoft Entra  Conditional Access for identity;
Microsoft Intune, including Autopilot, configuration profiles, and compliance policies, for endpoints; and Ninja One and HaloPSA for operations. Legacy on‑premises infrastructure is a small part of our fleet.

You've personally led Microsoft 365 migrations and client onboardings, not just assisted on them. You've built networks, including switching, VLANs, enterprise wireless, firewalls, and circuit cutovers, and you use Power Shell to get work done.

You care about outcomes, not ticket counts. You also have a consultant's instincts: you can sit with a CEO and explain why their team needs Microsoft 365 Business Premium without losing them in jargon, and you're steady as the technical voice with clients during a cutover or an outage. And you're detail‑obsessed. A missed line item in a scope or a gap in a handoff document becomes someone's headache later, so you measure twice, cut once, and write documentation another engineer can pick up and run with.

It's a plus if you've worked with Huntress or similar managed EDR/ITDR, SASE platforms, or HIPAA or SOC 2 environments, or if you hold certifications such as MS-102, SC-300, AZ-104, or CCNA.
