Position Summary
We are seeking a highly motivated and versatile Tier 2+ IT Support & Systems Engineer to join our growing team. Following our recent acquisition of a premier cabling company, our Managed Service Provider (MSP) operations have expanded to deliver end-to-end infrastructure solutions—from the physical layer to cloud architecture.
In this hybrid role, you will operate in the critical space between Level 2 advanced end-user support and Level 3 systems engineering. You will serve as the escalation point for complex technical issues while heavily participating in infrastructure deployments, network configurations, and systems administration. The ideal candidate possesses a strong foundation in MSP environments, thrives on solving complex escalations, and is eager to bridge the gap between physical hardware deployments and advanced logical network configurations.

Minimum Qualifications

• Experience: 2 to 3 years of hands-on experience in IT support, systems administration, or network engineering, ideally within a Managed Service Provider (MSP) environment.
• Technical Support: Proven ability to handle Level 2 end-user escalations, including advanced hardware, software, and peripheral troubleshooting.
• Systems Administration: Practical experience managing and supporting Microsoft 365 environments, Windows Server OS (2016/2019/2022), Active Directory, and Group Policy.
• Networking Foundations: Solid understanding of core networking concepts and protocols, including TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, VPNs, and basic routing/switching.
• Hardware & Infrastructure: Experience deploying, configuring, and troubleshooting physical hardware, including workstations, servers, and network switches.
• Work Arrangement: Ability to work on-site at our Rhome, TX office or client locations 1 to 4 days per week, as dictated by project and support needs.
• Driving Requirement: Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation for local client dispatch and on-site deployment projects.

Preferred Qualifications

• Cross-Layer Expertise: Familiarity with physical layer deployments (cable runs, patch panels, server racking) and the ability to seamlessly transition into configuring the logical layer (switches, firewalls, hypervisors).
• Advanced Systems Exposure: Previous exposure to Level 3 engineering tasks, such as managing virtualization environments (VMware, Hyper-V) or participating in cloud migrations (Azure, AWS).
• Network Security: Experience configuring and managing enterprise-grade firewalls (e.g., Fortinet, SonicWall, Meraki, Cisco).
• Industry Certifications: Possess active, relevant certifications such as:
  • Microsoft 365 Certified: Modern Desktop Administrator or AZ-104 (Azure Administrator)
  • CompTIA Network+ or Security+
  • CCNA, Fortinet NSE 4+, or equivalent networking credentials
• MSP Tooling: Hands-on experience utilizing industry-standard RMM (Remote Monitoring and Management) and PSA (Professional Services Automation) platforms (e.g., ConnectWise, Autotask, Datto, Kaseya) for ticketing, time tracking, and automated deployment.
• Communication Skills: Exceptional documentation skills and the ability to translate complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders during escalations.
