  • Support Intune, M365, and basic firewall/network configurations

  • Strong troubleshooting across Windows, Microsoft 365, and networking
  • Exposure to firewalls (Fortinet/FortiGate is a plus)
  • Interest or experience in CMMC / NIST / security compliance
  • Organized, process-driven, and client-focused


For Senior Level:

  • 3–5 years of Tier 2 MSP experience
  • Comfortable handling escalations and leading projects

  • ~1–2 years of MSP experience
  • Exposure to ticketing environments and basic networking/sysadmin work
  • Interest in growing into security/compliance


Environment & Projects

  • Hybrid environments (Windows Server 2016 , cloud on-prem)
  • Projects include migrations, infrastructure upgrades, and security audits


Why Join

  • Clear path into Cybersecurity & Compliance (CMMC/NIST)
  • High-growth company with strong market demand
  • Real hands-on exposure to both systems networking
  • Collaborative team where engineers have impact
