Senior Systems Engineer

Salary Range: $110,000.00 To $150,000.00 Annually Senior Systems Engineer About CanCap CanCap Group delivers fully managed programs for third-party financial institutions. We are hiring a Senior Systems Engineer to design, automate, and operate the core infrastructure our business runs on, and to help raise the engineering bar across the team. You will join a focused infrastructure team responsible for hybrid identity, cloud, network, endpoint, and the automation that ties them together. The role combines architecture and engineering with hands-on Tier-3 ownership of the systems you build. Key Responsibilities Design and evolve hybrid infrastructure across Google Cloud Platform and Azure: identity, networking, security controls, monitoring, and cost. Own networking and routing end to end - design, configure, monitor, and troubleshoot LAN/WAN, IPSec/VPN tunnels, routing, and firewall policy. Build and maintain automation and platform integrations across line-of-business applications using scripting, workflow automation, and infrastructure-as-code. Ensure the endpoint fleet is reliably and securely managed through Intune, Autopilot, and RMM tooling, including patching, configuration baselines, imaging, endpoint security, and access controls. Lead Tier-3 escalations and incident response for critical infrastructure failures and outages. Drive issues to resolution and to documented root cause. Reduce operational toil through automation, improve reliability and availability, and continuously raise the quality bar on how the environment is run. Maintain runbooks, architecture documentation, and knowledge base content for the systems you own. Evaluate and adopt emerging technologies like AI-based operations tooling, modern access approaches, and successor patterns to legacy infrastructure, and recommend where they belong in our stack. Mentor teammates and partner with help desk, application owners, security, and operations on shared initiatives. Required Skills & Experience 7+ years of hands-on experience in senior systems, or infrastructure engineering roles. Good fundamentals across networking and security: routing, switching, LAN/WAN, VPN, IPSec, firewall policy, and PKI. Deep expertise in Windows environments: Active Directory (on-premises and hybrid), Windows Server, GPOs, domain trusts, identity management, and Intune. Hands-on experience operating hybrid cloud infrastructure on Google Cloud Platform and Azure, including hybrid identity models and conditional access. Working fluency with infrastructure-as-code and configuration management (Terraform, Ansible, or equivalent), you build infrastructure as code, not as click-ops. Working fluency with monitoring, logging, and observability tooling, and the ability to design alerting that signals real problems. Experience in regulated environments (SOC 2, PCI, or equivalent), comfortable working within and contributing to a controls framework. Demonstrated ability to work autonomously: scoping problems, choosing an approach, and driving work to production without requiring direction at each step. Strong written and verbal communication with technical and business stakeholders, and the ability to document and mentor. Preferred Skills & Certifications Power Platform (Power Apps, Power Automate) for business automation. Certifications such as CCNA, CCNP, MS SC-series (Modern Desktop / Enterprise Administrator), Azure/AWS/GCP associate or professional, or PKI/PKCS credentials. Experience administering enterprise firewall platforms. Telephony, VoIP, or contact center platform experience. Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code and orchestration frameworks (Terraform, Ansible). Monitoring, logging, and observability tooling. IT Service Management exposure and incident/change management frameworks. Background in regulated environments (financial services, PCI, SOC 2). What You’ll Bring to the Team Technical Ownership & Accountability. You take full ownership of critical incidents and projects and drive them from inception to a stable, well-documented resolution. Autonomy. You operate with minimal direction. You define the problem, scope the solution, and ship it without hand-holding, and you ask for input where it actually matters. Proactive & Automation-Minded. You anticipate problems before they become outages and treat repeatable manual work as a defect to be automated away. Modern Tech Fluency. You actively track where the industry is going, AI-assisted operations, identity-first security, modern network architectures, and have an informed opinion on what is worth adopting and what is not. Business Alignment. You understand that infrastructure exists to support business outcomes and you use that lens to prioritize your work. Collaborative Mentor. You lead by example, mentor teammates, and work effectively with cross-functional partners. Why Join Us Broad exposure across network, identity, cloud, endpoint, security, and automation, with measurable impact on how the business runs. A genuine engineering role — design and build, not just operate. A team that values automation, documentation, reliability, and security. A culture of learning, growth, and cross-discipline collaboration. The Details Hybrid work structure, 60% in office and 40% remote, subject to business needs. Occasional after-hours work for change windows and major incidents. Successful candidates will pass a criminal background check and employment verification. Diversity and Inclusion CanCap Group and our subsidiaries are equal opportunity employers and value diversity. We are committed to building and evolving a team that reflects a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and skills.
