Mid-Level Systems Engineer (Manhattan)

Position Description: Systems Engineer

The IT Systems Engineer will be responsible for maintaining, securing, and improving Insite's internal technology ecosystem.

• Maintain network infrastructure managed through Meraki (switches, wireless, security appliances) across office and remote sites.
• Ensure data protection and business continuity through Druva inSync backup administration, monitoring, and recovery testing.
• Administer collaboration and communication platforms (Slack, Zoom, Zoom Phone, Smartsheet), including provisioning, permissions, and workflow configuration.
• Document systems, configurations, and standard operating procedures to support consistency and knowledge continuity.
• Monitor for security vulnerabilities and compliance gaps across the environment and recommend remediation.
• Provide tier 2/3 technical support and act as an escalation point for internal IT issues.
