About the role
We are recruiting for a Senior Systems Engineer opportunity with a well established law firm in Los Angeles. This is a hands‑on infrastructure position with meaningful ownership and the opportunity to help shape and improve the organization's technology environment.
The team is specifically looking for someone who has gone beyond maintaining systems that were already in place. The right person will have experience evaluating infrastructure, identifying weaknesses or opportunities, recommending improvements, and taking those improvements through implementation.
What You'll Be Doing:
Own and support core infrastructure across server, virtualization, network, and storage environments
Assess the current technology environment and recommend improvements
Lead infrastructure upgrades, migrations, and optimization projects
Support and enhance Windows-based enterprise environments
Manage virtualization and related infrastructure technologies
Troubleshoot complex systems and connectivity issues
Strengthen infrastructure reliability, security, and resiliency
Support backup, recovery, patching, and continuity initiatives
Automate routine processes where appropriate
Work closely with other technology professionals on larger projects and technical challenges
Serve as a senior technical resource for escalated infrastructure issues
What We're Looking For:
5+ years of infrastructure/systems engineering experience
Particularly strong Windows and VMware expertise
Broad knowledge across enterprise servers, networking, virtualization, storage, and security
Experience independently leading infrastructure projects
Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
