JOB OVERVIEW

SENIOR SYSTEMS ADMINISTRATOR - CLOUD INFRASTRUCTURE
Microsoft 365, Azure, and Google Workspace

Company: AlphaRidge

About Us:
AlphaRidge is a New York based managed IT and cybersecurity firm serving healthcare, financial services, and public sector organizations. We run an integrated Security Operations Center and Network Operations Center, and our clients operate under HIPAA, SOC 2, and comparable compliance obligations. We are a certified Minority and Women Owned Business Enterprise.

The Role:
This is a senior technical seat, not a support queue role. You will own the cloud platform layer of our managed services practice and act as the escalation point above our System Administrators for anything touching tenant configuration, identity, or cloud infrastructure.

Roughly 80 percent of our clients run Microsoft environments, so Microsoft 365 and Azure are where your depth must be strongest. The remainder run Google Workspace or mixed environments, and you will support those with the same standard of care.

Your shift extends our engineering day. You start with a live handoff at the end of the US business day, then carry escalations and project work through the US evening. Work handed off to you is moving again by the US team's next morning. For you, this is a normal daytime schedule, roughly 5:00 AM to 2:00 PM Philippine Time, Monday to Friday.

You will work as a full member of one engineering team, not as an offshore extension of it. You will hold your own client relationships and own your own projects. Our SOC and NOC handle alerting, so you are not carrying monitoring on top of engineering.

Key Responsibilities:
- Own configuration, hardening, and lifecycle management of client Microsoft 365 tenants: identity, conditional access, mail, collaboration, and information governance
- Design and administer Azure infrastructure: networking, compute, storage, backup and recovery, and role based access control
- Administer Google Workspace environments for the portion of our client base that runs them
- Serve as the senior escalation point for Level 2 and Level 3 cloud identity, mail flow, licensing, and workload issues
- Plan and lead tenant to tenant, cross platform, and on premises to cloud migrations, including cutover planning
- Administer endpoint management: device and application configuration, compliance policy, and modern enrollment
- Build PowerShell and Microsoft Graph automation for provisioning, reporting, and repeatable configuration
- Maintain client documentation and runbooks to an audit ready standard, and follow change control on production changes
- Mentor System Administrators and Service Desk engineers

Requirements:
- 6+ years in systems administration, with at least 3 years administering Microsoft 365 at tenant level
- Production Azure experience: networking, compute, backup and recovery, and role based access control
- Advanced Entra ID experience: conditional access, hybrid identity, and privileged role management
- Strong Exchange Online administration, including mail flow troubleshooting and message trace
- Proven migration delivery as a lead, not just a participant
- Intune administration across device compliance and application deployment
- Working PowerShell proficiency, including Microsoft Graph and Exchange Online modules
- Windows Server, Active Directory, DNS, DHCP, and certificate services
- Prior experience supporting North American or other international clients at an MSP
- Excellent written and spoken English; you will be client-facing
- Working familiarity with Google Workspace administration, or the ability to reach production competence quickly
- Reliable home setup: 25+ Mbps primary internet, a backup connection, backup power, and a quiet space for client calls

Preferred:
- Microsoft certifications: MS-102, AZ-104, AZ-500, or SC-300
- Google Workspace Administrator certification
- Hypervisor administration (Hyper-V or VMware) and enterprise firewall experience
- Experience in regulated environments (HIPAA, SOC 2, or comparable)

How to Apply:
Begin your application with the word LIGHTHOUSE so we know you read this posting in full. Include a PDF CV, and two or three sentences on the most complex migration you have personally led: what moved, what broke, and what you did about it.
