Azure Solutions Architect Expert Cloud infrastructure implementation Google Professional Cloud Architect Technology infrastructure engineering AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional Full Job Description The role: Squeeze Technology is a 17-year-old IT services company headquartered in Orange County. We serve clients across healthcare, finance, aviation, entertainment and many other industries — and we've built our competitive edge on doing things smarter than the average competitor. We're growing, and we need a magical senior technical mind to help lead the way. This is not a ticket-closing role. You'll be the most technically capable person in the room for our most complex client environments — designing cloud and infrastructure solutions, running down hard problems, and consulting directly with decision-makers. You'll mentor junior engineers, represent Squeeze on-site with clients across Orange County, LA and the whole USA, and contribute to how we architect and deliver services at scale. If you want to work somewhere that actually uses the tools it sells, challenges you to keep growing, and treats senior hires like the investment they are — this is it. What you'll be doing: Architect, deploy, and manage complex Azure environments including Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) for enterprise clients Own advanced networking — design, troubleshoot, and optimize LAN/WAN, SD-WAN, VPN, firewall, and DNS configurations Lead security posture work: endpoint protection, conditional access, identity management, compliance frameworks, and incident response Troubleshoot and support SQL-based systems — query performance, connectivity issues, backup and recovery Serve as the technical escalation point for the support team — the person who unblocks everyone else Consult directly with client stakeholders on infrastructure strategy, cloud migration, and security planning Mentor junior and mid-level engineers, review their work, and help them grow faster Contribute to how Squeeze designs and packages its service offerings as the business evolves What we're looking for: Bachelor's degree recommended, stand out if it's in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field 5+ years in a senior IT engineering or infrastructure role, ideally in an MSP or consulting environment Deep hands-on experience with Microsoft Azure — AVD, Entra ID, Intune, Defender, and related services Advanced networking knowledge: routing, switching, firewalls (Fortinet, Palo Alto, or similar), DNS, DHCP, SD-WAN Practical experience with security frameworks, zero-trust principles, and compliance (HIPAA, SOC 2, or similar is a plus) Familiarity with Modern LLM/AI Tools such as Claude, ChatGPT and Copilot in a business setting. SQL troubleshooting skills — not a DBA, but you know your way around a query and can diagnose database-adjacent issues Excellent communicator — equally comfortable in a technical deep-dive and a client boardroom Self-directed, calm under pressure, and the kind of engineer who documents what they build Reliable car for regular client site visits across Orange County and LA Certifications that make you stand out: Health and dental insurance 401(k) with matching Health savings account (HSA) Paid time off Phone and travel expense coverage Referral bonus program Tuition reimbursement Certification sponsorship You'll also work directly alongside leadership, have visibility into how the business operates, and have real input into how we grow — not a cog in a large enterprise machine.
