Cloud Infrastructure Engineer (Career Path → Senior Cloud Engineer / Security Engineer) $95,000 - $110,000 + Monthly Bonus I'm hiring again because our cloud and security practice continues to scale faster than expected.

What You'll Work On • Lead and own cloud-first technical operations across Microsoft 365, Azure, Entra ID, identity governance, endpoint management, and cloud networking. • Act as a technical advisor for clients, helping shape cloud modernization plans and ensuring best practices in security and automation. • Participate in and help deliver cloud transformation projects-Azure build-outs, virtualized infrastructures, network redesigns, and security enhancements. • Build strong relationships with clients, positioning yourself as a trusted technical resource (no ticket mill culture). • Improve documentation, templates, design patterns, and internal processes as we continue to scale our cloud practice. • Work comfortably in both independent and collaborative environments with a team that supports each other. Who Thrives Here • Someone with 3-5+ years in the MSP world handling diverse environments. • Strong hands-on background with Azure, Microsoft 365, identity, Windows Server, and cloud-driven operations. • Solid understanding of networking fundamentals-DNS, DHCP, routing, VLANs, firewalls, cloud networking concepts. • Familiar with modern MSP tooling (Kaseya, Autotask, NinjaOne, Datto, etc.). • Excellent communicator who feels comfortable advising clients and presenting recommendations. • Self-motivated technologist who enjoys learning, stepping into new areas, and collaborating with a team that moves fast. • Certifications (CompTIA, Microsoft, Azure) are a plus but not required. Why People Stay Here • Career path into Senior Cloud Engineer, Cloud Architect, or Security Engineer roles. • Financially backed MSP with real stability, not a struggling reactive shop. • Proactive engineering culture, predictable workload, and strong quality-of-life environment. • A team that values learning, mentorship, and internal promotions. • Hybrid flexibility after onboarding, monthly bonus structure, and strong benefits. • Leadership that listens, invests in modern tools, and creates opportunities for growth.
