Role summary
Endsight, a growing IT Managed Service Provider, seeks a System Administrator for its NOC team. This role focuses on proactive value delivery through alert analysis and root cause resolution to prevent customer-impacting issues. Responsibilities include triaging alerts, resolving infrastructure issues (servers, firewalls, backups, etc.), monitoring system health, tuning alerts, and ensuring clean escalations. The ideal candidate has 2+ years of IT operations experience in an MSP or similar environment, with hands-on experience in infrastructure monitoring and a strong understanding of Windows/Linux server environments. Experience with monitoring platforms, root cause analysis, and clear communication are essential. Preferred qualifications include automation, cloud platforms, and ITIL framework exposure.
Purpose. What You will Do
You will be the NOC's frontline for delivering proactive value through alert analysis and resolution. Your focus isn't just working tickets—it's analyzing alerts, identifying the real issue, and putting a resolution in motion that prevents problems from coming back. You will drive root cause fixes, reduce alert noise, and ensure escalations to customer teams are clean and clear. You will own:- Triaging inbound alerts and identifying the real issue behind the signal, assessing context, severity, and business impact before taking action
- Resolving alerts to root cause—digging deeper than symptoms and validating that remediation steps are durable, not just a temporary fix
- Monitoring backups, patches, and infrastructure (servers, firewalls, storage, switches, wireless) to catch risks like disk failure, failed updates, or degraded performance before they impact customers
- Tuning alerts and flagging redundant or low-value signals to reduce noise and focus on what matters
- Preparing clean handoffs to Technical Account Managers and customer points of contact when issues require project work, procurement, or scheduling
- Keeping your backlog clear—no floating tickets, no lingering escalations. You know your numbers and bring insights to your 1:1s
- Contributing to proactive improvements in monitoring, alerting, and platform management as you grow in the role
- Take pride in helping others succeed
- Love mastering your tools and improving your craft
- Communicate clearly and stay composed under pressure
- Are energized by teamwork and mutual respect
- Want to grow in a place where your success helps everyone win
Qualifications

- Experience with one or more monitoring platforms (Ninja, N-Central, ConnectWise Manage, Datto RMM, or similar)
- Ability to troubleshoot infrastructure issues independently and think through root cause rather than surface-level fixes
- Clear communication skills, both with technical team members and when explaining issues to non-technical stakeholders
- Strong time management and ability to prioritize alerts based on severity and business impact
- Willingness to follow standard work, document findings, and contribute to continuous improvement of monitoring and alerting
- Experience with infrastructure as code or automation (PowerShell, Python, or similar)
- Familiarity with cloud platforms (Azure, AWS) and hybrid infrastructure management
- Background in proactive maintenance and preventive monitoring rather than reactive ticket-only work
- Experience managing Pods or accounts with multiple customer environments

- Hands-on experience with Datto or similar backup platforms
