• Own root-cause analysis (RCA) for recurring or high-severity incidents and produce clear post-incident reports for clients and internal leadership.

• Implement and maintain security and compliance controls using Microsoft Defender for Endpoint/Office 365, Microsoft Sentinel, Purview, and MFA/Conditional Access policies.
• Configure and monitor backup and disaster recovery solutions (e.g., Veeam, Datto, Azure Backup/Site Recovery) and participate in DR testing.
• Maintain and improve runbooks, SOPs, and knowledge-based articles; mentor and provide technical guidance to Tier 1/2 support engineers.
• Participate in a rotational on-call schedule to support critical (P1) client escalations outside business hours.
• Ensure adherence to SLAs, ticket quality, and documentation standards within the PSA/RMM tooling (e.g., ConnectWise, Autotask, Datto RMM, Ninja One).
• Collaborate with account managers and clients on technical roadmaps, capacity planning, and infrastructure health reviews (QBRs).

Required Skills & Experience

• 10+ years of progressive experience in IT infrastructure/support roles, with at least 2–3 years operating at a Tier 3/4 or senior engineer level within an MSP or similar multi-client environment.
• Strong, hands-on expertise across the Microsoft ecosystem: Microsoft 365 (Exchange Online, Teams, SharePoint, Intune), Azure (Entra ID, VMs, networking, AD Connect), and Windows Server / Active Directory.
• Proficiency with PowerShell scripting for automation, reporting, and troubleshooting.
• Solid understanding of networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, VPN, firewalls) and virtualization technologies (Hyper-V and/or VMware).
• Experience with security tooling: Microsoft Defender suite, Microsoft Sentinel/SIEM concepts, endpoint protection, and patch management.
• Working knowledge of backup/DR solutions and business continuity planning.
• Prior experience in an MSP environment supporting multiple clients/tenants simultaneously, with strong ticketing/PSA-RMM tool proficiency.
• Excellent troubleshooting, root-cause analysis, and documentation skills.
• Strong client-facing communication skills; ability to explain technical issues to non-technical stakeholders.
