Job Description

Senior Systems Engineer resolving complex networking and service issues for managed IT company GXA. Collaborating with teams to ensure stable client environments and improve service delivery.

Responsibilities:

  • Act as a senior escalation engineer responsible for resolving the most complex service issues across client environments, regardless of technology domain
  • Own issues through to resolution, reducing ticket reassignment, repeated escalations, and dependency on multiple teams
  • Provide deep technical support across core MSP platforms and infrastructure, including servers, cloud services, identity, endpoints, and networking
  • Serve as the primary escalation point for advanced networking and firewall issues when they arise, ensuring rapid and accurate resolution
  • Diagnose and resolve advanced issues across common MSP platforms, including:
  • Microsoft 365, Azure, and identity services
  • Active Directory, Exchange, and core server infrastructure
  • Virtualization platforms and hybrid environments
  • Networking and firewalls as a primary technical strength
  • Own troubleshooting end-to-end, from root cause analysis through resolution, without unnecessary dependency on other teams
  • Act as the lead escalation engineer for advanced networking issues when required, including:
  • Firewalls (Fortinet, SonicWall, Meraki, etc.)
  • VLANs, routing, switching, VPNs, NAT, and site-to-site connectivity
  • Design, configure, and troubleshoot infrastructure that spans on-prem, cloud, and hybrid environments, ensuring stability, security, and scalability
  • Resolve complex tickets directly rather than deferring or reassigning, improving customer experience and resolution time
  • Reduce recurring escalations by identifying systemic issues and driving permanent fixes
  • Produce clear documentation and resolution notes that raise the troubleshooting capability of L1/L2 engineers
  • Partner with service leadership to improve standards, workflows, and service velocity as GXA scales

Requirements:

  • Senior-level MSP support experience with the ability to independently resolve complex tickets across multiple technology domains
  • Proven experience working as an L3 or senior escalation engineer in a managed services environment
  • Strong, hands-on experience supporting core MSP platforms, including:
  • Microsoft 365 and Azure (identity, access, core services)
  • Active Directory, Exchange, and identity-related troubleshooting
  • Windows Server and common server roles
  • Virtualization platforms (VMware, Hyper-V, or equivalent)
  • Endpoint management and standard MSP tooling (RMM, PSA, backup, security tools)
  • Demonstrated ability to own tickets end-to-end, perform root cause analysis, and implement permanent fixes
  • Solid practical networking experience, including:
  • Firewall configuration and troubleshooting
  • VLANs, routing, switching, VPNs, and subnetting
  • Strong documentation and communication skills, with the ability to clearly explain technical issues to both technical teams and non-technical stakeholders.
