Systems Engineer (Full Time) Remote in USA
We are looking for a Systems Engineer to join one of our client delivery pods. In this fully remote role, you will be the named technical resource for a portfolio of mid-market clients, handling escalated support, proactive maintenance, and project delivery execution under the guidance of a Senior Cloud Engineer.
This role is hybrid complexity by design. You will work across modern Microsoft cloud services and traditional on-premises infrastructure — the same week might include an Intune Autopilot rollout, a DC replication issue, and helping a client assess their Defender for Endpoint alerts. If that range energizes rather than overwhelms you, you are the right fit.
The ideal candidate thrives in a fast-paced environment and has consulting, startup, and service-oriented experience; MSP experience is preferred but not required. We value someone who is hands‑on, proactive, and comfortable building structure, processes, and solutions from the ground up.
Success in this role requires clear communication, strong ownership, and a collaborative mindset to deliver reliable Microsoft cloud solutions across Azure, Microsoft 365, identity, and security workloads.
Key Responsibilities- Administer and troubleshoot Entra , Active Directory, Exchange Online, Intune, and Windows Server
- Perform proactive maintenance: patch management, backup health validation, Defender alert triage, Entra Connect/Cloud Sync monitoring
- Execute project tasks under Sr. Cloud Engineer direction — Conditional Access rollouts, AVD session host builds, M365 migrations, Server and Workload migrations

- Own escalated L2–L3 tickets across identity, endpoint, and infrastructure workloads for clients
- Participate in client check‑ins and serve as secondary technical point of contact for your pod accounts
- Collaborate with the Modern Workplace and Security shared specialists on cross‑functional work
- Proactively identify improvements for security, performance, resilience, cost efficiency, and delivery processes
- Maintain clear, timely communication in Teams so project status, and ownership are visible to the broader team

- 3+ years of hands‑on experience in an MSP or internal IT role supporting Microsoft environments
