We’re looking for a vintage LeBron of IT systems engineering -someone at the top of their game across systems, cloud, virtualization, and networking.

Our client, a well-established MSP, is looking for a senior-level expert who can design, build, and maintain high-performance IT infrastructure. You’ll be the go-to person for solving complex problems and delivering practical, scalable solutions.

Location matters:

This role is 100% onsite in Albany, NY. No relocation is available, so we're looking for someone already in the Capital Region who’s ready for in-personinterviews, collaboration and regular onsite work.

Responsibilities of the Senior Engineer will include:

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to gather requirements and define project objectives.
• Develop detailed project plans, including scope, timelines, and budget estimates.
• Design and validate practical, forward-thinking solutions aligned with business goals and industry standards.
• Configure and deploy hardware, software, and network components for project initiatives.
• Ensure seamless integration of new solutions with minimal disruption to existing IT environments.
• Perform upgrades, migrations, and expansions while safeguarding system integrity.
• Create comprehensive technical documentation, including diagrams, configurations, and user guides.
• Maintain accurate project records and provide clear documentation for end-users and support teams.
• Implement security measures to protect assets and data.
• Ensure all solutions meet industry compliance standards and regulations.
• Diagnose and resolve complex technical issues during project execution.
• Use a systematic approach to minimize downtime and maintain operational efficiency.

Qualifications of the Senior Engineer:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
• Proven experience as a Senior Systems Engineer, with a history of successfully delivering complex IT projects, ideally around years.
• Expertise in systems administration, hardware configuration, software deployment, and network protocols.
• Proficiency in virtualization, cloud platforms, and containerization technologies.
• Knowledge of cybersecurity principles and best practices.
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to perform under pressure.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
• Relevant certifications (e.g., Microsoft Azure Solutions Architect, Cisco CCNP) are a plus.
