Agile IT - San Diego, CA

Employment Type : Full-Time

Company Description

WHO WE ARE:

100% unapologetically focused on Microsoft cloud services. We are able to deliver strategic consulting & technical implementation through a single vendor for our customers.

Headquartered in San Diego, California, Agile IT has been providing cloud-related services to progressive companies nationwide since 2006. Agile IT is a Digital Transformation expert focused on Cloud Computing, Security and Software as a Service. We specialize in migrating and managing IT services for customers looking to get the most from their IT investments.

THE FUN STUFF:

Would you love to work at a company that is transparent and all-inclusive? Are you interested in continuously learning and applying new skills? Are you looking for multi-featured benefits that include competitive and attractive compensation, holidays, combined vacation and sick days, medical, dental, vision, life, 401k, casual dress, flexible spending accounts and more? With Agile IT you will enjoy a fun, friendly atmosphere with engaged and like-minded co-workers, snacks and beverages, and a bunch of other fun stuff like dogs (we get back to the office). For now, we are 100% remote.

Agile IT is a company built around the cloud and offers a variety of cloud solutions for our customers. As the company steadily continues to grow, we need to staff accordingly!

We’re looking for an Senior Level Engineer that has a passion for working with the latest technologies, loves to solve problems, focused on delivering solutions that solve customers' business challenges, and thrives in a team environment. We have many engineers that had many years of Microsoft IT environments, but were mostly traditional on-premises solutions and didn’t have much cloud experience. We know cloud and can teach you, but you need to have the drive and passion to learn the future of IT services. If you learn by building out labs, trial and error, and love to pick the brains of smart people, then it sounds like you’d be a cool fit!
