Full Job Description
The Role
We are looking for a Client Engineer to be the technical partner our Bay Area clients rely on. This is a field-based, hybrid role. You will manage your own schedule, drive to client sites across the Bay Area, and own client relationships, not just a ticket queue. Our South San Francisco office keeps the broader team close by. Mileage is reimbursed.

This is hands-on client IT engineering, not a remote-only help desk.

Candidates must be based in the San Francisco Bay Area at the time of hire. Relocation is not supported for this role.

What You Will Do
  • Support clients across Microsoft 365, identity (Entra ID), endpoints, networks, and servers, both onsite and remotely
  • Own client relationships and small projects end to end
  • Troubleshoot at the infrastructure layer: Microsoft 365 tenant configuration, networking, and endpoint management across multiple client environments
  • Explain technical issues clearly to non-technical staff and executives, and document as you go

What We Are Looking For
  • Hands-on experience administering and troubleshooting networks, servers, endpoints, and identity, whether onsite or remote
  • Three or more years in IT support; multi-client or MSP experience strongly preferred
  • Solid Microsoft 365 administration, Entra ID, and networking fundamentals (DNS, DHCP, VPN, firewalls)
  • A strong communicator who builds trust with clients and can adapt to any audience
  • Certifications such as CompTIA Network+, Security+, or Microsoft 365 Administrator (MS-102) preferred
  • Comfortable driving to client sites across the Bay Area

Compensation
$75,000 to $90,000 per year, based on experience.
