  • Trusted technical advisor who enjoys working directly with clients, guiding design decisions, and solving unfamiliar problems
  • Collaborative team player who thrives in a close-knit, light-hearted, and highly skilled technical environment

    🎯  What You’ll Do (Your Superpowers) :

  • Serve as a senior technical resource and trusted advisor for enterprise clients, supporting the design, architecture, migration, and optimization of virtualization environments
  • Provide expert guidance on virtualization platforms with a strong focus on Proxmox technologies, including Virtual Environment and Backup Server
  • Lead and contribute to complex infrastructure projects, including platform migrations from VMware, Hyper-V, or Nutanix to modern, open-source solutions
  • Engage directly with clients through technical workshops, screen-sharing sessions, and detailed documentation to deliver clear, actionable recommendations
  • Evaluate and validate server hardware designs, reviewing specifications such as CPU, memory, storage, and networking to ensure performance, scalability, and reliability
  • Troubleshoot advanced virtualization, networking, and storage issues using strong Linux system administration and command-line expertise
  • Manage support requests through their full lifecycle, ensuring timely resolution, clear communication, and a high standard of service delivery
  • Conduct technical research, lab testing, and proof-of-concept work to support client solutions and expand internal expertise
  • Collaborate closely with internal teams, vendors, and partners to resolve complex issues and improve solution outcomes
  • ⭐  What We’re Looking For (Our Wishlist) :

  • Strong Linux system administration skills and comfort working in command‑line environments
  • Solid understanding of enterprise networking concepts, including VLANs, link aggregation, routing fundamentals, and data centre networking
  • Familiarity with enterprise storage technologies (e.g., iSCSI, Fibre Channel, SAN environments)
  • Experience supporting enterprise or large‑scale clients in MSP, consulting, or internal IT environments
  • Ability to communicate confidently with technical and non‑technical stakeholders
  • A curious mindset and the confidence to tackle problems you haven’t seen before

  • Training & Growth :  Extensive onboarding, hands‑on lab environments, and continuous learning opportunities
  • Meaningful Client Work :  Support large, recognizable organizations across government, education, and enterprise sectors
  • Collaborative Culture :  Join a small, tight‑knit team that values curiosity, approachability, and shared success
  • Open‑Source Impact :  Work with technologies where you can explore, understand, and even contribute back to the source
  • Benefits

  • Base Salary :  $100,000 – $120,000
  • Paid Time Off :  Competitive vacation and personal days to maintain a healthy work-life balance
