Quick Summary

Senior IT Engineer in Portland, OR, responsible for providing high-impact technical support and escalation for complex IT issues, with a focus on understanding the root cause of problems and identifying solutions.

Job Description

We’re looking for a new team member: Senior IT Engineer!

Are you the person others call when things break in weird, complex ways? Do you enjoy figuring out not just how to fix something, but why it broke in the first place?

At Internetworks, we support and improve the systems our clients rely on every day. We’re looking for a Senior IT Engineer to join our team and take on high-impact technical work across service and infrastructure.

What is a Senior IT Engineer?

Think of this role as the highest level of technical support and escalation within the service team.

You’ll handle complex issues that impact entire environments, guide technical decisions, and help ensure the systems we support are stable, secure, and well-designed.

You won’t just resolve issues. You’ll identify root causes, recommend better approaches, and help prevent problems from happening again.

In short: when it’s complex, high-impact, or unclear, it comes to you.

What You’ll Do as Our Senior IT Engineer:

Escalation Owner: Take ownership of complex issues escalated from Tier 2 and drive them through to resolution

Root Cause Problem Solver: Investigate and resolve system-wide issues across servers, networking, cloud, and security

Infrastructure Specialist: Support and improve environments across Microsoft 365, Azure, servers, networking, and security platforms

Technical Leader: Mentor and support Tier 1, 1.5, and 2 team members

Client-Facing Engineer: Communicate clearly with clients, including leadership, on complex issues and solutions

Standards Contributor: Help define and improve technical standards, best practices, and internal processes

Documentation Owner: Create clear, usable documentation for systems and solutions

Project Contributor: Support technical execution of projects and deployments, working alongside project leads when needed

Onsite & Remote Work: Respond to outages, perform onsite work when needed, and support critical environments

Must-haves:

5–8+ years of experience in IT support, systems engineering, or similar role

Strong experience across Microsoft environments (Windows Server, Microsoft 365, Azure)

Solid networking knowledge including firewalls, switching, routing, and VPNs

Proven ability to troubleshoot complex, multi-system issues

Ability to take ownership and operate independently without constant direction

Strong communication skills with both technical teams and client stakeholders

High attention to detail and strong documentation habits

Nice-to-haves:

MSP experience

Experience with Cisco / Meraki networking

Experience with virtualization platforms (VMware, Hyper-V)

Experience with security tools and incident response

Experience with storage and backup systems

Relevant certifications (Microsoft, Cisco, etc.)

A Day in the Life at Internetworks:

You might start your day reviewing escalations that require deeper investigation. From there, you could be troubleshooting a complex network issue, resolving a Microsoft 365 or Azure problem, or helping a teammate work through a challenging situation.

You’ll also spend time mentoring others, documenting solutions, and improving how we approach technical work across the team.

Some days are reactive. The best days are when you’re making things more stable and predictable.

Why You’ll Love Working Here:

At Internetworks, we care about doing great work and building a team that enjoys working together. From company camping trips and kombucha on tap to ongoing learning opportunities, we invest in both the work and the people doing it.

Perks of the Job:

Salary range: $110k – $130k DOE (with flexibility for exceptional candidates)

Competitive bonus opportunities

Industry-leading PTO

Flexible medical, dental, and vision plans

401(k) with employer match

Paid Volunteer Time Off (VTO)

Certification and continuing education support
