HIRING: Cisco expert/CCNA for private school

We, and MSP in the eastern US, are bidding on a long-term infrastructure maintenance agreement with a private school in which we would maintain their existing aging Cisco infrastructure and eventually migrate to modern hardware.

Three buildings over two campuses. 24 switches. No end-user support.

We don't have Cisco expertise, so we're hiring this part out.

DMs are open!

Senior Engineer 15+ years Experience / MSP Builder – Available for Remote or DC Metro Hybrid (Scaling, Automation, Security, Networks, Ops Maturity)

Hey everyone,

Throwing this out there to see what might be a good fit.

I’m a senior engineer with 15+ years in MSP/MSSP environments. I’ve worked across small shops and more structured operations, and I’m open to remote work or something onsite in the DC metro area (For MSPs who need boots on ground)

My background is pretty broad, but a lot of my experience includes:

  • Multi-vendor firewalls (Fortinet, SonicWall, Cisco, Meraki, WatchGuard, Palo Alto)
  • Complex VPN setups (site-to-site, remote access, hybrid cloud)
  • Cleaning up inherited / messy environments
  • Escalations and root cause work
  • Standardizing MSP stacks
  • Security hardening across client bases
  • Process improvement + documentation
  • Reducing ticket volume through better architecture and automation

I also ran a small MSP myself (400 endpoints when i sold it) , so I understand both the technical side and the operational/business pressure. I tend to think in terms of “how do we make this scalable and less reactive?” instead of just solving the immediate issue and moving on.

I’m not really looking for entry-level/helpdesk roles, but I’m happy to:

  • Be a senior escalation resource
  • Help stabilize environments
  • Assist with scaling or operational maturity
  • Support security-focused initiatives

Contract, fractional, or the right full-time role — I’m flexible.

Mostly just open to conversations and seeing what’s out there.

If you think I could help your team, feel free to DM.

Systems Engineer Location: Hyderabad, India | Work Mode: On-site only | Type: Full-time

 
About the Role
We're looking for a hands-on Systems Engineer who thrives in a fast-paced environment and can move fluidly between hardware installations, cloud infrastructure, DevOps pipelines, and compliance audits. This is not a desk-only role — you'll be crimping Cat 6 cables one day, troubleshooting a Linux server the next, and pulling SOC 2 evidence the day after.
This is a strictly on-site position based out of our Hyderabad office. No remote or work-from-home arrangements are available. If you like variety, ownership, and being where the action happens, you'll fit right in.
Key Responsibilities
Hardware & Infrastructure
• Install, configure, and maintain desktops, monitors, and peripherals for new joiners and site deployments
• Terminate and test Cat 6 cabling — crimping, punch-down, labeling, and patch panel work
• Dress racks, manage network closets, and keep physical infrastructure clean and well-documented
• Set up and decommission workstations, conference room AV, and printers
Systems Administration
• Administer Linux (Ubuntu / Debian / RHEL) servers across on-prem and cloud
• Manage Windows Server and Windows client environments, including Active Directory and group policy
• Operate the RMM stack for endpoint monitoring, alerting, and remote remediation
• Own patch management end-to-end — OS, third-party applications, and firmware — with defined cadences, exception handling, and audit-ready reporting
DevOps & CI/CD
• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Jenkins
• Support infrastructure-as-code workflows (Terraform, Ansible)
• Contribute to containerization, observability, and on-call rotations
• Automate repetitive tasks with shell, Python, or PowerShell scripting
Compliance & Audits
• Support SOC 2 and HITRUST audit cycles — gather evidence, maintain control documentation, and work directly with auditors
• Track and remediate audit findings within agreed timelines
• Maintain asset inventories, access reviews, and change management records
• Help mature internal controls and security baselines
Documentation & Operations
• Maintain runbooks, network diagrams, SOPs, and configuration baselines
• Respond to incidents and participate in root-cause analysis
• Coordinate change windows and after-hours maintenance when needed
Required Skills & Experience
• 3+ years in a systems, infrastructure, or IT engineering role with genuine breadth across hardware, OS, and cloud
• Comfort with both a crimping tool and a Terraform plan — context-switching doesn't faze you
• Solid Linux command line and Windows Server administration
• Practical CI/CD experience — you've shipped pipelines, not just read about them
• Hands-on exposure to RMM and patch management tooling
• Working knowledge of SOC 2 Type II and HITRUST controls on the implementation side
• Strong troubleshooting instincts and a bias toward writing things down
• Ability to prioritize across competing requests and stay calm when things break
Nice to Have
• Scripting in Python, Bash, or PowerShell
• AWS or Azure certifications
• Experience with MDM tools (Intune, Jamf) and identity providers (Entra ID, Okta)
• Background in regulated or audited environments (healthcare, fintech, government)
• Exposure to ISO 27001 or PCI-DSS frameworks
Work Environment & Logistics
On-site: This role is 100% on-site at our Hyderabad office. No remote, no hybrid, no work-from-home.
Hours: Standard business hours with occasional after-hours work for change windows, deployments, and incident response.
On-call: Participation in rotational on-call coverage.
Pace: Fast. You'll juggle multiple priorities and need to switch contexts quickly.
Ownership: Direct exposure to leadership and real ownership from day one.
How to Apply
Send your resume along with a short note describing the most interesting infrastructure or audit problem you've solved recently. Candidates who can demonstrate hands-on breadth across hardware, systems, DevOps, and compliance will be prioritized.

[HIRING] Chicago, IL — Senior Systems Engineer / Co-Managed Client Lead — Hybrid, 3 days onsite — Salary DOE

Chicago MSP, 32 people, ~50 clients. Looking for a Senior Systems Engineer to lead one of our co-managed accounts — with their own internal helpdesk that we supplement.

The role

3 days/week onsite at the client. The other 2 days are hybrid — remote plus occasional onsite at other accounts or escalation work.

You'd be the senior technical presence on this account: last point of escalation from their internal helpdesk, working alongside the client's COO, and guiding day-to-day direction. Our CTO holds the vCIO seat; you'll be working closely with them to guide direction, own execution and be the senior hands and head onsite.

This isn't a ticket-grinder role. It's escalation, relationship, and ownership.

You should have

- 5+ years in MSP, co-managed, or senior internal IT

- Comfortable owning an account and speaking with executives

- Solid on M365, Windows server/AD, networking, endpoint

- Have run real incidents and projects without a babysitter

**Nice to have (not required)**

- CompTIA / Cisco / Microsoft certs

- SOC 2 or ISO 27001 experience

Our stack

- PSA: HaloPSA

- RMM: NinjaOne

- Security: Huntress, SentinelOne

- Networking: Meraki (SMB), Cisco + Aruba (larger clients)

- Backup: Acronis & Datto

- Documentation: IT Glue & Strety for internal processes

- Identity/MFA: Duo & Entra

- Email Security: Barracuda & Proofpoint

- GRC: Vanta

On-call

Secondary/escalation tier only, in rotation. 1 week every 6 weeks. L1s handle primary on-call; you're their backup when things escalate. Staff covers until midnight, so the active window is midnight–6 AM weekdays + weekends. Most nights are quiet.

Compensation & benefits

- Salaried, DOE

- Flex/unlimited PTO (as long as we can cover)

- Company-wide revenue share bonus - paid at the end of the year

- 401(k) with 6% match

- Cert reimbursement

- Mileage reimbursement & parking

- Vision + dental fully covered

- 3 PPO health plans, 50% employer paid

- Paid week off between Christmas and New Year's (office closes)

To apply: comment or DM.

Toronto MSP Position

Small MSP, good people, no drama. I'm trying to step back from the tech side and need someone to take it over.

I'm not the best at any one thing. I'm just really good at figuring stuff out. Computer issue, network weirdness, something mechanical, problem nobody's seen before… I dig in until it's fixed. That's the kind of person I'm looking for. Throw you at anything and you just work the problem. Someone who tinkers for fun.

Need someone with solid MSP experience. If you're the person at your current job who gets handed all the weird tickets, we should probably talk.

Shoot me a DM.

I am a SRE with about 10 years of experience. Started my journey at Rackspace Technology, moved to AWS, did GCP for a bit, and now use DigitalOcean for my pet projects. I have contributed to terraform-provider-aws and implemented an EKS/Crossplane PoC. Needless to say, I am fairly confident in my abilities to spin up infrastructure, prevent infrastructure drift, implement OIDC, and IAM roles and policies for security. I have experience with checkov as a vibe coded project, but still does what it's supposed to and supports SOC2 compliance standards with documentation. I have also used AI to build a diagram tool that implements DigitalOcean Kubernetes Service and various monitoring tools like Grafana and uptime alerts via DigitalOcean Dashboard. Needless to say I have a lot to offer and am looking for something ideally mission driven, as in something that would speak to my science fiction sensibilities. Let me know if you have an open role and let's connect! LinkedIn and resume available upon request.
