• Design and maintain hybrid identity solutions, including traditional on-premises Active Directory, cloud-native Azure AD / Microsoft Entra ID, and directory synchronization (Microsoft Entra Connect).
• Manage, optimize, and leverage our core MSP toolsets—specifically ConnectWise and Kaseya platforms—to drive automation, efficient ticketing, and proactive monitoring.
• Demonstrate proficiency in "Tier 3" technical skills, including Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP), Hot Standby Routing Protocol (HSRP), Distributed File System (DFS), Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), and advanced Firewall configuration/management.
• Ensure rigorous, real-time documentation of client systems, processes, and standard operating procedures (SOPs).

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field (or equivalent hands-on experience).
• 5+ years of experience in IT, with at least 2 years in a senior, lead, or supervisory engineering role within an MSP environment.
• Proven hands-on experience utilizing ConnectWise (PSA/Ticketing) and Kaseya (RMM/Automation) ecosystems to manage endpoints and service delivery.
• Advanced experience configuring and troubleshooting Microsoft 365, local Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS), Group Policy (GPOs), and Microsoft Entra ID.
• Strong understanding of core IT infrastructure, advanced networking, cloud services, and cybersecurity best practices.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills; able to interact effectively with both technical teams and non-technical business stakeholders.
• Must hold or be actively working toward relevant advanced certifications:
• • Security Certifications: CompTIA Security+ / SecurityX, ISC2 CISSP, or equivalent vendor-neutral security credentials.
  • Vendor Certifications: Microsoft 365 Certified: Administrator Expert (MS-102), Microsoft Certified: Azure/Entra Identity and Access Administrator (SC-300), or Cisco CCNP.
