About The Position

EmployBridge is one of the United States' largest light industrial staffing company and the first workforce-as-a-service provider. The organization delivers workforce solutions through a digital-first approach while helping place hundreds of thousands of people into roles across the country. The culture is centered around Championing People and Unlocking Potential. The Systems Engineering Lead is responsible for leading a team of four Systems Engineers while remaining hands-on with the design, implementation, support, operation, and maintenance of enterprise infrastructure. This role supports both on-premises and cloud environments and serves as a senior technical resource across the organization.
