Summary

We are seeking a Lead IT Engineer for a full-time employee role with our client in Basking Ridge, NJ. 5+ years experience in an IT engineering, systems administration, or preferably a MSP solutions role, and a Microsoft certified Azure Administrator preferred (AZ-104). 
 
to join our architecture team — someone who thrives at the intersection of deep technical work and client-facing outcomes. This is a senior, high-impact role. You’ll own the engineering and delivery of complex Microsoft 365, Azure, and endpoint security projects across a diverse portfolio of managed clients, while keeping an eye on business outcomes and supporting our sales team in scoping and closing solutions.
 
What you’ll do
• Serve as a senior technical resource on the architecture team, driving design and deployment of IT solutions across managed client environments
• Administer and optimize Microsoft 365 Business Premium, Entra ID, Intune, and Azure environments including Azure Virtual Desktop
• Manage and tune Kaseya 365 platform tools — including Datto RMM, Kaseya MDR, SaaS Alerts, and Inky — across multiple customer tenants
• Oversee on-premises Windows Server environments, GPO, Active Directory, DNS, and print services
• Lead cybersecurity posture improvements: Microsoft Secure Score optimization, ASR rules, Defender for Endpoint, MFA, conditional access, and related hardening
• Conduct network and security assessments; produce actionable findings for customers
• Manage customer onboarding and offboarding end-to-end
• Own project delivery from scoping through completion — timelines, stakeholder communication, and documentation
• Partner with the sales team to scope solutions, review proposals, and support deal closures with technical credibility
• Write and maintain PowerShell scripts and automation to support recurring MSP operations
 
What we’re looking for
• 5+ years in an IT engineering, systems administration, or preferably a MSP solutions role
• Strong hands-on experience with Microsoft 365 (Business Premium or higher licensing), Entra ID, Intune, and Exchange Online
• Practical experience with Azure — including Azure Virtual Desktop, Entra join, and cloud-based management
• Familiarity with Kaseya 365 or comparable RMM/PSA/security platforms in an MSP environment
• Proficiency in PowerShell scripting for automation and administration
• Solid understanding of cybersecurity principles — endpoint protection, email security, MFA, identity governance, and SIEM tooling
• Experience managing on-premises Windows Server environments and transitioning them to cloud or hybrid models
• Strong project management ability — you can own a project from kickoff to completion without being managed
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills; comfortable presenting findings and recommendations to non-technical stakeholders
• A consultative mindset — you understand client business goals and shape technical solutions accordingly
 
Nice to have
• Microsoft certifications (AZ-104) or would need to be completed within first 4 months.
• Experience with, Duo MFA, Inky, or SaaS security tooling
