    This company is seeking a skilled Systems Engineer with deep expertise in Microsoft Exchange and related infrastructure. This role is responsible for administering and supporting large-scale Exchange environments, including integrations with Active Directory, DNS, and routing systems. While some technologies may not be directly managed, a foundational understanding is required to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams.

     

    This position will remain remote, but the candidate must be 100 miles from **Quincy, MA** or **North Jersey** in case there are onsite meetings that they must attend to.

    What You Will Be Doing:

    + Administer and support large-scale Microsoft Exchange environments, including MS Active Sync (mobile devices), Active Directory, IIS, clustering, and anti-spam/anti-virus filtering solutions.

    + Configure, maintain, and troubleshoot Exchange versions 2010/2013/2016/2019, Active Directory, and Windows Server editions (2008–2022).

    + Provide technical support for both on-premises and cloud-based Exchange systems, including migrations from Exchange 2016 to SaaS platforms.

    + Manage and troubleshoot Database Availability Groups (DAGs), ensuring efficient replication and recovery across Exchange environments.

    + Monitor Exchange message queues, resolve mail delivery issues, perform message tracking, and document system activity in daily operational logs.

    + Respond proactively to Microsoft SCOM alerts and perform root cause analysis to prevent potential incidents.

    + Monitor server performance, run diagnostic tests, manage system backups, and execute cluster failovers when required.

    + Track and manage incidents via the Altiris Ticketing System, supporting broader incident and problem management workflows.

    + Create and manage user accounts and mailboxes, perform mailbox migrations and restores.

    Required Skills & Experience:

    + Extensive experience across Exchange versions 2010–2019 and SaaS migrations.

    + Strong understanding of directory services and integration with Exchange.

    + Proven ability to manage replication networks and resolve database-level issues.

    + Foundational knowledge required for collaboration with networking teams, though not part of day-to-day responsibilities.

    + Experience with clustering technologies for failover and incident resolution.

    + General understanding of routing, DNS, Ethernet, and network infrastructure.

    + Familiarity with Microsoft SCOM for alerting and Altiris for incident tracking.

    + Experience with tools like Veeam for backup and recovery.

    + Familiarity with technologies such as TMG/ISA and remote access platforms.

    + Experience supporting SQL Server (2008–2022), Microsoft SharePoint, and enterprise server environments.
