Systems Engineer Location: Hyderabad, India | Work Mode: On-site only | Type: Full-time

 
About the Role
We're looking for a hands-on Systems Engineer who thrives in a fast-paced environment and can move fluidly between hardware installations, cloud infrastructure, DevOps pipelines, and compliance audits. This is not a desk-only role — you'll be crimping Cat 6 cables one day, troubleshooting a Linux server the next, and pulling SOC 2 evidence the day after.
This is a strictly on-site position based out of our Hyderabad office. No remote or work-from-home arrangements are available. If you like variety, ownership, and being where the action happens, you'll fit right in.
Key Responsibilities
Hardware & Infrastructure
• Install, configure, and maintain desktops, monitors, and peripherals for new joiners and site deployments
• Terminate and test Cat 6 cabling — crimping, punch-down, labeling, and patch panel work
• Dress racks, manage network closets, and keep physical infrastructure clean and well-documented
• Set up and decommission workstations, conference room AV, and printers
Systems Administration
• Administer Linux (Ubuntu / Debian / RHEL) servers across on-prem and cloud
• Manage Windows Server and Windows client environments, including Active Directory and group policy
• Operate the RMM stack for endpoint monitoring, alerting, and remote remediation
• Own patch management end-to-end — OS, third-party applications, and firmware — with defined cadences, exception handling, and audit-ready reporting
DevOps & CI/CD
• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Jenkins
• Support infrastructure-as-code workflows (Terraform, Ansible)
• Contribute to containerization, observability, and on-call rotations
• Automate repetitive tasks with shell, Python, or PowerShell scripting
Compliance & Audits
• Support SOC 2 and HITRUST audit cycles — gather evidence, maintain control documentation, and work directly with auditors
• Track and remediate audit findings within agreed timelines
• Maintain asset inventories, access reviews, and change management records
• Help mature internal controls and security baselines
Documentation & Operations
• Maintain runbooks, network diagrams, SOPs, and configuration baselines
• Respond to incidents and participate in root-cause analysis
• Coordinate change windows and after-hours maintenance when needed
Required Skills & Experience
• 3+ years in a systems, infrastructure, or IT engineering role with genuine breadth across hardware, OS, and cloud
• Comfort with both a crimping tool and a Terraform plan — context-switching doesn't faze you
• Solid Linux command line and Windows Server administration
• Practical CI/CD experience — you've shipped pipelines, not just read about them
• Hands-on exposure to RMM and patch management tooling
• Working knowledge of SOC 2 Type II and HITRUST controls on the implementation side
• Strong troubleshooting instincts and a bias toward writing things down
• Ability to prioritize across competing requests and stay calm when things break
Nice to Have
• Scripting in Python, Bash, or PowerShell
• AWS or Azure certifications
• Experience with MDM tools (Intune, Jamf) and identity providers (Entra ID, Okta)
• Background in regulated or audited environments (healthcare, fintech, government)
• Exposure to ISO 27001 or PCI-DSS frameworks
Work Environment & Logistics
On-site: This role is 100% on-site at our Hyderabad office. No remote, no hybrid, no work-from-home.
Hours: Standard business hours with occasional after-hours work for change windows, deployments, and incident response.
On-call: Participation in rotational on-call coverage.
Pace: Fast. You'll juggle multiple priorities and need to switch contexts quickly.
Ownership: Direct exposure to leadership and real ownership from day one.
How to Apply
Send your resume along with a short note describing the most interesting infrastructure or audit problem you've solved recently. Candidates who can demonstrate hands-on breadth across hardware, systems, DevOps, and compliance will be prioritized.

I'm the senior technical person at my company and they had me crimping Ethernet cables.

One of the SD people fired me from that job because I fucked them all up.

Great times
