Our partnerships with leading technology providers like Barracuda Networks, Dell, IBM, Microsoft, and VMware enable us to deliver cutting-edge solutions to our clients.

Role Description:

This is a full-time hybrid role for a Systems Engineer II at Info Advantage Inc. As a mid-level engineer in our MSP environment, you will serve as a "jack of all trades" resource, balancing hands-on technical work with customer support and project execution. Your days will vary—from configuring firewalls and deploying servers to troubleshooting end-user issues and leading cloud migrations. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a dynamic environment, enjoys solving diverse challenges, and isn’t afraid to get their hands dirty.

Key Responsibilities:

Infrastructure Deployment & Management:

• Configure and maintain firewalls, switches, and wireless access points (e.g. UniFi, Fortinet, SonicWALL).
• Deploy and manage on-premises and cloud servers (Windows Server, Hyper-V, VMware).
• Implement and troubleshoot backup/disaster recovery solutions (Veeam, Azure Backup, etc.).

Microsoft Modern Work Solutions:

• Administer EntraID (Azure AD), including identity management, conditional access, and SSO.
• Manage endpoints via Microsoft Intune (policies, application deployment, Autopilot).
• Support Microsoft 365 workloads (Exchange Online, SharePoint, Teams).

Cloud & Virtualization:

• Assist with cloud migrations (Azure, ) and hybrid environment setups.
• Optimize virtualized environments (VMware, Hyper-V) for performance and scalability.

Customer Support & Projects:

• Provide escalated technical support for clients, resolving issues ranging from network outages to user access problems.
• Lead or contribute to projects like office relocations, hardware refreshes, and security upgrades.

Documentation & Best Practices:

• Maintain detailed documentation for systems, processes, and client environments.
• Recommend and implement improvements to enhance reliability and security.

Qualifications:

Technical Skills:

• 3+ years of experience in systems engineering, preferably in an MSP or IT services environment.
• Proficiency in Microsoft stack (Windows Server, EntraID, Intune, M365).
• Hands-on experience with networking (firewalls, VLANs, VPNs), virtualization, and cloud platforms.
• Familiarity with RMM tools and PSA platforms is a plus (especially those in the MSP industry)

Soft Skills:

• Strong problem-solving skills—ability to diagnose issues under pressure.
• Excellent communication skills for interacting with clients and team members.
• Self-motivated with the ability to manage multiple priorities.

Education/Certifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, IT, or related field (or equivalent experience).
• Certifications such as Microsoft 365 Certified, Azure Administrator, CCNA, or VMware VCP are desirable.

Work Environment

• Hybrid role based in Rochester, NY, with flexibility for remote work (onsite client visits required).
• Must be willing to:
• Participate in occasional after-hours upgrades or emergency support.
• Travel locally to client sites as needed.

Why Join Us?

• Work with a variety of technologies and industries—no two days are the same!
• Collaborative team with opportunities for growth and certifications.
• Competitive compensation and benefits.

If you’re a versatile engineer who loves tackling new challenges and making an impact for clients, we’d love to hear from you!

This is not a software development role. Hands-on troubleshooting and customer interaction are core to this position.
