We are looking for a Systems Engineer to join our team in Massachusetts and provide senior-level expertise across Microsoft 365 environments. This position is suited for someone who excels at solving complex technical challenges, guiding enterprise integration efforts, and partnering with cross-functional teams to deliver secure, well-structured outcomes. The role offers the opportunity to influence architecture decisions while remaining deeply involved in hands-on engineering work.


Responsibilities:

• Direct Microsoft 365 integration efforts related to organizational consolidation, including planning, coordination, and execution across multiple environments.

• Develop identity integration approaches using Azure AD and Entra ID, covering synchronization, domain alignment, and access control design.

• Oversee the migration and integration of Exchange Online, including mailbox transitions, mail routing, retention configuration, and discovery requirements.

• Manage SharePoint Online and OneDrive integration activities, including content structure, permissions alignment, and data movement planning.

• Build and use PowerShell-based scripts and automation processes to improve consistency, accuracy, and repeatability throughout migration work.

• Collaborate with security, compliance, and legal stakeholders to align access policies, governance standards, retention practices, and eDiscovery needs.

• Provide technical direction during cutover windows and deliver support to stabilize services following implementation.

• Act as the primary technical advisor for Microsoft 365 architecture, integration strategy, and risk reduction best practices.

• At least 7 years of experience engineering and supporting enterprise-scale Microsoft 365 environments.

• Demonstrated success leading tenant-to-tenant Microsoft 365 migrations in merger, acquisition, or large integration scenarios.

• Strong hands-on knowledge of Azure AD or Entra ID, Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, OneDrive, and Microsoft Teams.

• Required experience using PowerShell to automate administration, migration tasks, and environment standardization.

• Solid understanding of identity and access management principles, security controls, and compliance requirements within Microsoft 365.

• Ability to evaluate architectural options, recommend practical solutions, and explain technical trade-offs clearly to stakeholders.

• Comfortable working as a senior individual contributor in a highly hands-on role without direct people management responsibilities.

• Experience with tools such as Quest, BitTitan, or ShareGate, along with exposure to Intune or global Microsoft 365 deployments, is a plus.
