You'll work across platforms such as Azure, Microsoft 365, Entra, Intune, Exchange Online, VMware, Hyper-V, HP VME, Windows Server, and Veeam, splitting your time between hands-on delivery, troubleshooting, and advising customers on the best path forward.

• Guide customers through modernization efforts such as cloud adoption, hybrid infrastructure, Microsoft 365 migrations, identity upgrades, consolidation, virtualization, and backup and recovery planning.
• Earn customer trust by setting clear expectations, communicating openly, keeping your commitments, and resolving problems well.
• Manage your own technical tasks and projects with little day-to-day oversight.
• Stay sharp across cloud, identity, virtualization, security, backup, and infrastructure through ongoing learning and hands-on work.
• Support pre-sales activity, including technical discovery, solution design, bills of materials, engineering estimates, and professional services agreements.
• Offer technical leadership and escalation guidance to the customer support team.
• Help refine and standardize the company's Microsoft cloud, CSP, data center, and backup and recovery offerings and delivery practices.
• Look for ways to strengthen customer environments through standardization, modernization, automation, security, resiliency, identity management, and data protection.

• Take on additional responsibilities as business and technology needs change.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS:

• A bachelor's degree or equivalent hands-on experience.
• 7 or more years of systems engineering experience in a related field.
• Proven ability to resolve highly complex problems across the platforms listed above.
