Job Description

Join a cybersecurity company as an IT Services Engineer in a full‑time role supporting managed IT security services for organizations facing cyber threats. This organization specializes in safeguarding clients through full network visibility, active defense approaches, packet capture, and threat hunting. Based in Scottsdale, Arizona with occasional client site travel, you'll work as part of the Managed IT Security Services Team providing technical guidance and high‑level customer service to employees and clients. The role involves managing help desk queues, supporting VMware and security systems, maintaining client relationships, and ensuring service level agreements are met. This is an exceptional opportunity to work in a cybersecurity‑focused environment where you'll gain valuable experience supporting managed detection and response (MDR) and incident response (IR) clients. Unlike traditional help desk roles, this position combines IT support with security operations, including NOC alert monitoring, EDR alerts, and security system administration. You'll develop deep expertise in VMware, Linux‑based security systems, and cloud platforms while working directly with clients on their cybersecurity infrastructure. The role offers significant variety, from troubleshooting client workstations and servers to preparing VMware hosts for security system deployments. You'll build strong client relationships by serving as the primary engineer for assigned clients, performing monthly maintenance, and ensuring their security systems run optimally. The position provides exposure to security best practices including firewalls, access control, encryption, and compliance frameworks like SOC 2 and HIPAA. With a billable utilization target of 55%, you'll balance client support with internal projects and system administration. The on‑call rotation (one week at a time monitoring after‑hours SMS alerts) is manageable and shared across the team. Working in Scottsdale with remote work flexibility and occasional client travel offers work‑life balance while serving diverse clients. The company invests in employee development through continuing education and certification opportunities.
