About The Position

Modern IT is a platform-centric managed services provider that propels businesses into the digital age through strategic partnerships with Microsoft and ConnectWise. This role exists to keep every client's technology aligned, benchmarked, and documented — closing gaps before they become downtime and turning findings into a smarter, more proactive service model. The Technology Alignment Engineer is accountable for ensuring every assigned client is benchmarked and scored on schedule, and each scheduled service day runs at least 90% proactive, with findings documented and reviewed with the client.

Requirements

Must have 5+ years of hands-on infrastructure experience (LAN/WAN, servers, endpoints, RMM and security tooling) in an MSP or equivalent environment.
The ability to benchmark systems against standards and translate findings into client-facing risk and business value.
Strong documentation skills — SOPs, checklists, and a technical library kept current.
Professional client communication; for the onsite track, comfort leading client meetings and reliable transportation for visits.
You can show hands-on proactive benchmarking / technology-alignment work you personally performed - real infrastructure reviewed against standards, findings turned into documented risk, and a client-facing recommendation.
Based in or able to commute to La Verne, CA for 8am–5pm PST-aligned hours

Nice To Haves

Bachelor's degree or equivalent; CompTIA Network+ or Security+ (CISSP / Six Sigma for a Senior TAE track).
Experience with a technology lifecycle / benchmarking platform (myITprocess, vCIO Toolbox, or Lifecycle Insights).
Compliance and auditing familiarity, and business acumen for framing findings as risk and ROI.

Responsibilities

Benchmarking & scorecards: Review each assigned client's LAN/WAN and configurations against MSP and industry standards, on schedule, using the benchmarking platform.
The Scheduled Service Day: Run BDOS and EDOS client meetings, complete Unique Client Checklists, and deliver and review the TAE Service Day Deliverable — holding 90% proactive / 10% reactive or better.
Fewer reactive tickets: Close the misalignments that drive reactive work, pushing Tickets per Endpoint per Month and average resolution time down.
Documentation & SOPs: Build and maintain the client technical documentation library and client-specific SOPs — app installs, new-user setups, endpoint config.
Sharper standards: Contribute benchmarks to the Standards Committee and keep the standards library evolving.
Revenue from findings: Surface project opportunities from what you find and feed the vCIO preflight and Technology Business Review (TBR) process.
