The role owns the design, build, and day-to-day operation of ENGIN's corporate technology environment, with a primary focus on the Microsoft 365 and Entra ID ecosystem, endpoint fleet management, and identity and access administration. Technical direction is set by the Head of Platform; the IT Systems Engineer brings specialist expertise and carries out the implementation. Strong hands-on Microsoft ecosystem capability is required for this role.

This is a full-time, fully remote position with a preference for candidates based in Calgary or Toronto. Only candidates located in Canada with work authorization (Citizenship, PR, or Open Work Permit) will be considered.

Role/Responsibilities:

• Design, build, and maintain the Microsoft 365 tenant architecture and configuration.
• Administer Entra ID as the organization's identity provider:
  • Design and maintain conditional access policy, MFA enforcement, and privileged access controls.
  • Maintain group-based entitlement and licensing structures that scale with headcount.
  • Support SSO integrations into client environments in coordination with the Development and DevOps teams.
• Own the endpoint fleet end to end across macOS and Windows:
  • Procurement, imaging, MDM enrollment, and configuration baseline.
  • Patch compliance, disk encryption enforcement, and remediation of non-compliant devices.
  • Warranty, refresh cycle, and secure disposal.
• Design and automate joiner, mover, and leaver processes:
  • Account provisioning, hardware logistics and shipping, and first-day setup.
  • Same-day deprovisioning of accounts and access on employee exit.
  • Ensure these processes generate their own records rather than depending on manual documentation.
• Automate recurring administrative work using PowerShell and Microsoft Graph; maintain scripts in version control with documentation.
• Maintain the SaaS application inventory, optimize licensing, manage renewals, and identify unsanctioned applications.
• Provide day-to-day technical support to staff, and produce the runbooks and documentation required for the environment to be maintainable by others.
• Offer suggestions and opinions on technical solutioning; identify and quantify technical debt within the corporate environment.

The ideal candidate will have:

• Minimum Bachelor's Degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, or equivalent practical experience

  • Experience managing a mixed macOS and Windows endpoint fleet
• Automation capability using PowerShell and the Microsoft Graph API
• Experience as the primary or sole IT function at an organization of approximately 30-150 people

• Ability to work independently and as part of a team; a self-starter, comfortable working with complex systems, eager to take on a wide range of responsibilities
