Description
Platform Accounting Group is in the middle of a deliberate shift – moving away from legacy on-premises infrastructure toward a modern, cloud-first Microsoft stack. As we continue to grow through acquisitions, we need a Systems Administrator who can help lead that transition across our 50+ offices nationwide. While this role includes higher-level troubleshooting and maintaining legacy systems, it is primarily focused on modernization and proactive infrastructure projects rather than traditional day-to-day break-fix support. You’ll be working hands-on with Microsoft 365, Intune, Entra ID, and Azure – deploying modern device management, migrating identities, and helping us leave outdated infrastructure behind. If you’re someone who gets energized by modernization work and wants to see the direct impact of what you build, this role has a lot to offer.
