    Company Description

    Info Advantage Inc. is a full-service information technology services firm based in Rochester, NY. Since 1992, we have specialized in cloud computing, virtualization, disaster recovery, data storage, voice-over-IP, and managed services. Our partnerships with leading technology providers like Barracuda Networks, Dell, IBM, Microsoft, and VMware enable us to deliver cutting-edge solutions to our clients.

    Role Description

    This is a full-time hybrid role for a Systems Engineer II at Info Advantage Inc. As a mid-level engineer in our MSP environment, you will serve as a "jack of all trades" resource, balancing hands-on technical work with customer support and project execution. Your days will vary—from configuring firewalls and deploying servers to troubleshooting end-user issues and leading cloud migrations. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a dynamic environment, enjoys solving diverse challenges, and isn’t afraid to get their hands dirty.

    Key Responsibilities:

    Infrastructure Deployment & Management:

    Configure and maintain firewalls, switches, and wireless access points (e.g. UniFi, Fortinet, SonicWALL).

    Deploy and manage on-premises and cloud servers (Windows Server, Hyper-V, VMware).

    Implement and troubleshoot backup/disaster recovery solutions (Veeam, Azure Backup, etc.).

    Microsoft Modern Work Solutions:

    Administer EntraID (Azure AD), including identity management, conditional access, and SSO.

    Manage endpoints via Microsoft Intune (policies, application deployment, Autopilot).

    Support Microsoft 365 workloads (Exchange Online, SharePoint, Teams).

    Cloud & Virtualization:

    Assist with cloud migrations (Azure, ) and hybrid environment setups.

    Optimize virtualized environments (VMware, Hyper-V) for performance and scalability.

    Customer Support & Projects:

    Provide escalated technical support for clients, resolving issues ranging from network outages to user access problems.

    Lead or contribute to projects like office relocations, hardware refreshes, and security upgrades.

    Documentation & Best Practices:

    Maintain detailed documentation for systems, processes, and client environments.

    Recommend and implement improvements to enhance reliability and security.

    Qualifications

    Technical Skills:

    3+ years of experience in systems engineering, preferably in an MSP or IT services environment.

    Proficiency in Microsoft stack (Windows Server, EntraID, Intune, M365).

    Hands-on experience with networking (firewalls, VLANs, VPNs), virtualization, and cloud platforms.

    Familiarity with RMM tools and PSA platforms is a plus.

    Soft Skills:

    Strong problem-solving skills—ability to diagnose issues under pressure.

    Excellent communication skills for interacting with clients and team members.

    Self-motivated with the ability to manage multiple priorities.

    Education/Certifications:

    Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, IT, or related field (or equivalent experience).

    Certifications such as Microsoft 365 Certified, Azure Administrator, CCNA, or VMware VCP are desirable.

    Work Environment

    Hybrid role based in Rochester, NY, with flexibility for remote work (onsite client visits required).

    Must be willing to:

    Participate in occasional after-hours upgrades or emergency support.

    Travel locally to client sites as needed.
