Solutions Engineer

Positions on Land - UnCruise Adventures • Seattle, WA

34d • $100,000 - $110,000 • Hybrid

About The Position

We're looking for a Solutions Engineer who loves diverse technologies to help modernize and support UnCruise's growing IT ecosystem. This is not your typical desk job, you'll go everywhere from a boat bridge to a boardroom.

The first major project for this role is a complete overhaul of our Microsoft 365 environment: rebuilding our SharePoint architecture and file structure, fixing user access and permissions, and putting real governance around how employees and outside guests share documents, while keeping everything properly locked down. From there, this person will be equipped to handle a wide range of ad hoc systems issues and projects across the company, both onboard our vessels and in our office.

Resourcefulness is essential in this role. You should be able to diagnose and resolve problems quickly, and have the patience to communicate with users across a wide range of technical skill levels.

You'll join a growing IT department that's actively expanding its capabilities, with real input into how this role evolves as our needs grow. We look for people who can move fluidly across problems rather than staying narrowly in one lane. If you are the kind of person who approaches an unfamiliar problem with a plan instead of hesitation, you'll do well here.

This full-time, exempt position reports to the IT Team Lead and is based at our Seattle, WA office at Fishermen's Terminal. Travel to our vessel locations (Alaska, Hawaii, Mexico, Costa Rica, and other destinations) may be required.
