Key skills for this role
At Willamette View, you'll contribute to the ethos of "Inspiring the Art of Living Well" for our active resident community, playing a key role in helping individuals lead rich and fulfilling lives. If you appreciate the importance of personal relationships and making a meaningful impact on the lives of others, then our unique , lively, and progressive senior community is the ideal place for you.
The Senior IT Systems Engineer is the senior technical partner to the Director of IT, responsible for modernizing Willamette View's core technology environment. This role spans corporate infrastructure, identity, AV, and the specialized systems unique to senior living. This role will own core systems and support owners of other systems.
The ideal candidate is a highly curious, hands-on generalist who loves learning new systems, and is equally comfortable configuring Azure resources with PowerShell, scripting an automation, or patiently walking a non-technical staff member or resident through a problem.
• Lead planning and execution of the migration from on-premises Hyper-V to Azure, including workload assessment, migration sequencing, cost management, and post-migration operations.
• Operate and right-size the resulting Azure environment; maintain Windows Server systems throughout the transition.
• Own backup/DR strategy across the hybrid environment (Veeam and/or Azure-native tools).
• Administer hybrid Active Directory/Entra ID, M365 tenant, and Intune/endpoint management.
