Senior Network Architect

About the role

Alpine Business Systems is a growing managed IT and cybersecurity provider helping businesses operate securely and efficiently. We’re looking for a Senior IT Engineer & Project Manager 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

• 9+ years in a senior IT engineering, systems administration, or 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
