About The Position

Our IT team is looking for a senior, hands-on Systems Engineer (Level 3–4) to own and continuously improve the technology environment that keeps our teams connected, secure, and productive. You’ll lead the day-to-day reliability and modernization of our Microsoft 365, identity, endpoint, network, cloud, and core SaaS platforms while serving as a trusted technical expert across the organization. This is an opportunity to join a fast-paced, growing private equity firm that is investing in both its technology foundation and its mission to create and preserve high-quality affordable housing. You’ll have meaningful ownership, the autonomy to make technical decisions, and the opportunity to build scalable, automated systems that support a growing business and a real-world impact. This roles reports to a Senior Manager and is a hybrid opportunity (3 days on-site).

Requirements

  • 5+ years deep, hands-on engineering experience in a Microsoft 365 / Cloud-first environment.
  • Expert-level Entra ID (Azure AD) and Active Directory skills: SSO/SAML, SCIM, Conditional Access, Group Policy, and identity lifecycle management.
  • Expert-level knowledge of Exchange Online, mail routing, DNS management (SPF/DKIM/DMARC), and secure email gateway configuration (Mimecast/Proofpoint).
  • Proven experience architecting Intune for modern management (Autopilot, Configuration Profiles, Compliance Policies).
  • Experience with server room/IDF management, racking and stacking hardware, UPS configuration, and overseeing structured cabling/low-voltage vendors.
  • Hands-on experience with Azure services, including SQL Database, App Services, Blob Storage, and virtual infrastructure.
  • Hands-on experience configuring and troubleshooting Cisco Meraki networks (Firewalls, Switches, Wireless).
  • Comfortable building Power Automate workflows and writing light PowerShell scripts for M365 administration and process automation.
  • Deep knowledge of SharePoint Online / Teams architecture, permissions, and external sharing controls.

Nice To Haves

  • Primary Decision Maker: You are the owner of your domain. You will make day-to-day technical decisions on configuration and architecture within agreed guardrails, escalating only for material risk or budget.
  • Proactive Builder: You identify performance bottlenecks or modernization opportunities and drive them from concept to implementation.
  • Subject Matter Expert: You are the go-to technical authority for infrastructure. You recommend the "what, when, and how” of system changes and are accountable for the results.

Responsibilities

  • Architect and administer Exchange Online, including mail flow rules, routing, DNS records (SPF/DKIM/DMARC), and Mimecast policy management.
  • Manage Entra ID identity lifecycle, access policies (Conditional Access), and collaboration settings for ~1,000 users.
  • Manage the full lifecycle of ~650 endpoints (Windows/macOS) using Intune/Autopilot.
  • Define imaging standards, update rings, and compliance policies.
  • Oversee MDF/IDF rack management, including racking/stacking equipment, cable management, UPS maintenance, and coordinating low-voltage cabling projects for office builds or expansions.
  • Serve as the final point of escalation for complex desktop, network, and identity support issues that cannot be resolved by Helpdesk or MSP.
  • Manage and monitor enterprise backup systems (e.g., Veeam for M365/Azure), ensuring data integrity and successful recovery capabilities for critical business data.
  • Maintain and monitor our Cisco Meraki stack (MX, MS, CW) across 4 regional offices, ensuring uptime and secure connectivity.
  • Serve as the technical administrator for key business platforms, managing integrations, SSO configuration, and user provisioning.
  • Support and administer our growing Azure footprint, including SQL services, App Services, and Blob Storage.
  • Collaborate with the team on cloud architecture and resource management.
  • Build automation workflows using Power Automate and light PowerShell scripting to replace manual tasks and improve system reliability.
