Job description

We need a team member that is excited about working at an MSP

More specifically, we need a System Administrator that is Humble, Hungry, and Smart!

Do you want to work at a Security focused MSP that is growing, an MSP that has a framework to build processes and follow them? Do you want to work for Professional Clients who also want to improve their network?

Does your current MSP seem disorganized and chaotic? Are you burnt out and working too many hours?

Founded in 2006, Straight Edge Technology is a company committed to excellence and working with purpose. We have a dynamic and challenging environment, one that encourages teamwork and fosters professional growth. Our support team is top notch and looking for a teammate with a great attitude to join the crew to close issues and solve problems.

So, what does a Systems Engineer do?

We are looking for a Systems Engineer to help build out, maintain, and troubleshoot our rapidly expanding infrastructure. You will be part of a talented team that demonstrates superb technical competency, delivering mission critical infrastructure and ensuring the highest levels of availability, performance and security. Qualified systems engineers will have a background in IT, computer systems engineering, or systems engineering and analysis.

Do you have what it takes?

Our team of engineers need to respond to detected issues so fast that our clients don't even know they needed our help.

You'll need strong interpersonal skills, the ability to communicate about highly technical issues, strong attention to detail and, most importantly, a knock-'em-dead attitude! We need you to be open to ideas and to bring your own new ideas to the team. We offer a fun, engaging, supportive environment in which your talent can thrive.
