$130K–$150K Base

We are recruiting for a

Senior Systems Engineer

opportunity with a well established law firm in Los Angeles. This is a hands-on infrastructure position with meaningful ownership and the opportunity to help shape and improve the organization's technology environment.

The team is specifically looking for someone who has gone beyond maintaining systems that were already in place. The right person will have experience

evaluating infrastructure, identifying weaknesses or opportunities, recommending improvements, and taking those improvements through implementation

.

What You'll Be Doing

• Own and support core infrastructure across server, virtualization, network, and storage environments
• Assess the current technology environment and recommend improvements
• Lead infrastructure upgrades, migrations, and optimization projects
• Support and enhance Windows-based enterprise environments
• Manage virtualization and related infrastructure technologies
• Troubleshoot complex systems and connectivity issues
• Strengthen infrastructure reliability, security, and resiliency
• Support backup, recovery, patching, and continuity initiatives
• Automate routine processes where appropriate
• Work closely with other technology professionals on larger projects and technical challenges
• Serve as a senior technical resource for escalated infrastructure issues

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years of infrastructure/systems engineering experience
• Particularly strong

Windows and VMware expertise

• Broad knowledge across enterprise servers, networking, virtualization, storage, and security
• Experience independently leading infrastructure projects
• Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills
• Some scripting or automation experience
• Ability to evaluate an environment from both a

technical and strategic perspective

• Professional services experience is helpful but not required

The Profile

This search is less about finding someone who has simply

administered an existing environment

and more about finding an engineer who has

owned one

.

We're looking for someone who can walk into an infrastructure environment, understand how everything fits together, identify what could be better, and then take responsibility for making those improvements happen.

The ideal person is still highly technical and hands-on but has developed the judgment to think beyond an individual ticket or system. They can see the broader infrastructure picture, prioritize what needs attention, and drive projects through completion.
