Responsible for the technical health of the entire client base, designing deployment standards, providing high-level support, and mentoring engineers while ensuring security and compliance.
We are looking for a Staff IT Engineer who is responsible for the technical health of the MSP's entire client base. You aren't just fixing a server; you are designing the standard blueprint for how servers are deployed across 50 different companies. You serve as the bridge between business goals and technical execution, reporting typically to the CTO or Director of Engineering.
Key Responsibilities1. Technical Strategy & Standardization- Blueprint Design: Develop "Gold Standards" for client environments (e.g., standardizing Entra ID configurations or Intune policies across all tenants).
- Platform Engineering: Manage and optimize the MSP's core toolset (RMM, PSA, Backup portals, and Documentation platforms).
- Technology Roadmap: Evaluate emerging tech (like AI-driven helpdesk automation) and decide if/how to integrate it into the service offering.
- Tier 4 Support: Act as the final "buck stops here" point for the most catastrophic or persistent technical issues.
- Project Architecture: Design complex migrations (Cloud-to-Cloud, M&A integrations) that Senior Engineers then execute.
- Root Cause Analysis (RCA): Lead investigations into systemic failures to ensure they never happen again across any client site.
- Multiplier Effect: You are measured by how much better you make the other engineers. You conduct code/script reviews and technical workshops.
- Documentation Standards: Define how the team documents environments to ensure "Single Pane of Glass" visibility.
- Hardening: Oversee the implementation of zero-trust frameworks and MFA across the entire MSP stack.
- Audit Readiness: Ensure client environments meet regulatory standards (HIPAA, CMMC, SOC2) through automated auditing.
- Microsoft: MS-102 (M365 Administrator Expert) or AZ-305 (Azure Solutions Architect).
- Security: CISSP, CISM, or advanced vendor certs (e.g., Palo Alto PCNSE).
- Frameworks: ITIL v4 or specialized MSP-centric management training.

But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
- Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
- Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
- Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
- Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
