Tier III Engineer bei SWK Technologies

• Contribute to post-incident reviews and root cause analysis 

• Support internal initiatives including tooling improvements and platform administration

• Demonstrated experience managing Azure workloads in production (IaaS, Entra ID, Azure Networking, Azure Monitor, etc.) 

• Strong working knowledge of Windows Server, Active Directory, and networking fundamentals (DNS, DHCP, firewall, VPN) 

• Experience with firewall administration (SonicWall preferred) 

• Experience with M365 administration (Exchange Online, Teams, SharePoint, Defender) 

• Ability to manage multiple concurrent client engagements without losing the details 

• Strong written and verbal communication skills

• Self-directed and comfortable working remotely without close supervision

• Microsoft certifications (AZ-104, AZ-305, or similar) 
• Experience with PSA and RMM tools (HaloPSA, NinjaRMM, Auvik, etc.) 
• Familiarity with virtualization platforms (Hyper-V, VMware) 
• PowerShell scripting for automation and administration 
• Background in change management processes or ITIL fundamentals
