Job description

Exchange/365 Hybrid Engineer

Location: Remote on West Coast PST

Type: Contract to Full-Time

About the Role

We’re looking for a hands-on Exchange/365 Cloud Engineer to join a small, high-performing engineering team supporting a large, complex global hybrid environment. If you enjoy solving challenging identity, Active Directory, Azure, and messaging problems — and want to work across many platforms — this is an opportunity to own high-impact systems used by tens of thousands of users worldwide.

You’ll work closely with senior engineers, architects, PMs, and leadership, contributing directly to enterprise-scale cloud, identity, and automation initiatives.

What You'll Do

  • Manage and deliver multiple cloud and infrastructure projects with minimal supervision.
  • Support and maintain Microsoft 365, Azure, and hybrid Exchange environments.
  • Administer and troubleshoot Active Directory, multi-forest identity, DNS/DHCP, and Windows server environments.
  • Participate in enterprise migrations, including domain moves, mailbox migrations, and M&A integrations.
  • Support Single Sign-On solutions (Azure, ADFS) and enterprise apps.
  • Work with a highly customized MIM platform for identity lifecycle automation.
  • Troubleshoot complex identity, authentication, and messaging issues at scale.
  • Document solutions and mentor junior team members.
  • Communicate clearly with technical and non-technical stakeholders, including executives.

What We're Looking For

Required Skills & Experience

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or equivalent experience.
  • 5+ years managing MS Exchange / O365 in enterprise or hybrid environments.
  • 5+ years administering Active Directory (domain management, FSMO roles, trusts).
  • Strong experience with Azure AD / Entra ID, ADFS, and SSO implementations.
  • Proficiency with PowerShell, hybrid identity, and troubleshooting across distributed systems.
  • Knowledge of Windows security, DNS (internal/external), and fundamental networking concepts.
  • Experience supporting enterprise-scale, multi-domain/multi-tenant environments.

Preferred

  • MCSE or related Microsoft certifications.
  • Experience with MIM or other identity automation platforms (training provided if not).
  • Background in mid-size or large enterprise environments.

Why This Role Is Unique

  • Small team = broad responsibility and high visibility.
  • Extremely complex and interesting environment:
  • Multiple AD forests
  • Global tenants (Canada, EMEA, APAC)
  • 22,000–24,000+ users
  • Hybrid cloud with deep integration points
  • Heavy automation and real engineering work — not a button-clicking job.
  • You will learn rapidly across identity, messaging, Azure, M365, automation, and more.

Work Environment

  • Fast-moving, collaborative environment with ongoing major initiatives (including a large Dynamics migration).

Interview Process

  • Intro + light technical (Hiring Manager)
  • Deep technical interview (Architect & Senior Engineer)
  • Optional leadership panel
  • Strong candidates may receive an offer after Round 2.

If you’re a hands-on engineer who loves solving complex problems, working across identity and cloud systems, and being part of a small but powerful team, we’d love to talk to you.

The compensation range for this position is $60 to $70/hr W2, $120K full time
