Systems Engineer II- Remote Local

Motion Recruitment • Arlington, Virginia, United States • $60 - $65 / hour • 1d ago

Systems Engineer II (Windows)

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.

Applicants must be currently authorized to work in the United States on a full-time basis now and in the future.
This position doesn’t provide sponsorship.
