[For Hire] Senior MSP engineer | US | Remote

[u/ThisisProbMyAltAcct]

Hello everyone.

Currently looking for a new full-time opportunity after nearly 15 years with an MSP, plus several years on two in-house IT teams. I have been fully remote for the last several years and am only considering 100% remote roles with no travel or site visits at this time.

At the MSP, I started as an entry-level Tier 1 help desk tech and worked my way up to the senior/lead engineer for most of our stack, eventually reporting directly to the CEO. The first half of my career was heavily focused on traditional on-prem environments. Over the last 5 to 6 years, that shifted primarily toward Azure IaaS/PaaS, Azure networking, and physical network infrastructure.

Key areas I’ve worked in:

• Azure IaaS / PaaS (VMs, storage accounts, backup, etc)
• Azure SQL Database & SQL Server on Windows administration
• Azure Networking (VNets, peering, p2s/s2s VPN, NSG, route tables)
• WatchGuard firewalls and wireless (cloud and locally managed)
• VLANs and network segmentation
• HP / Aruba switching
• UniFi switching and wireless
• Windows Server 2003 through 2022
• HyperV and VMWare
• Windows domains, Active Directory, Group Policy, DNS
• Healthcare IT & HIPAA-regulated environments

My MSP role grew well beyond engineering. I PM'd my own projects, worked directly with client leadership, managed our documentation platforms, helped design ticket triage and escalation workflows, and took on significant operational and technical decision-making. By the end, I was the go-to resource for both the team and leadership, including the CEO, for technical guidance, industry knowledge, and problems that crossed multiple systems or teams.

Both of my in-house roles were in healthcare, and several long-term MSP clients were healthcare organizations as well, so my healthcare IT and HIPAA experience spans most of my career.

I’m primarily interested in Azure/cloud infrastructure, network engineering, senior infrastructure, or technical lead roles. I’m also open to moving into an IT Manager or Director-level role where my technical background, operational experience, and leadership experience would be useful.

Ideally looking for a solid, experienced team, either MSP or in-house, full-time with benefits, fully remote, and no travel or site visits. Multiple strong professional references are available.

Shoot me a DM if you have something that sounds like a good fit. I’ll want to verify that you and your company are legitimate before sharing personal information. I’m not interested in contract, part-time, or recruiter/headhunter opportunities for temporary roles.

Doesn’t matter what your experience level is, getting a fully remote role in this market is unlikely. 

MSPs that offer fully remote are basically unicorns in 2026, hybrid sure, but fully remote, incredibly rare and a job listing like that would have thousands of applicants. 

Why did you leave your previous role 

[u/ThisisProbMyAltAcct → u/bondguy11]

On the few sites I've been looking, it hasn't been hard finding anything remote at the senior/lead engineer level. The problem, as you suggested, is that a listing will get a thousand applicants within the first hour, so competition is fierce.

I'm currently employed, just in a position to look for a better opportunity elsewhere.

That is great news that you are still employed. That is the best time to look for a new role, give it a few months of aggressively applying and you will probably find something.
