As part of a growing team supporting an expanding client base, you'll contribute to our continued expansion in the retirement and benefits space while working in an agile, collaborative environment with diverse team members across multiple locations.

What you'll do

In a typical week, you'll be building and configuring environments, deploying application updates, executing database tasks, managing Active Directory, and resolving technical issues across the full three-tier stack — database servers, application servers, and web servers. No two weeks look the same.

Core Responsibilities:

Environment Management: Build and configure shared and client-specific environments including production, non-production, and disaster recovery systems
Server & Application Deployment: Perform server installations, configurations, deployments, and OS upgrades using Microsoft technologies (Windows Server 2012-2019, IIS)
Database Administration: Execute SQL Server tasks including database backup/restore, user permissions management, and T-SQL script deployment
Active Directory Management: Handle user and group creation, delegation, and domain environment administration
System Migration & Upgrades: Lead server and application migrations, ensuring minimal downtime and optimal performance
Automation & Scripting: Develop PowerShell scripts and system reports using SQL Report Builder to streamline operations and reduce manual work
Issue Resolution: Triage, analyze, and coordinate resolution of complex technical issues across applications hosted on various platforms
Client Support: Provide technical guidance and support to client IT teams, including after-hours support during critical releases and busy periods
Documentation & Compliance: Create and maintain technical documentation, service catalogs, and ensure security and performance standards

What makes this work interesting: You’ll own the full environment stack not just databases, not just servers, but the complete deployment pipeline. You’ll work on client migrations and modernization projects, troubleshoot complex multi-tier issues, and have immediate impact on mission-critical systems. You’ll also collaborate with client IT teams on strategic decisions about their infrastructure – this isn’t just “keep the lights on,” it’s helping clients succeed.

What you bring

Must-Have

Experience: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science/Engineering (or equivalent experience) with 3–5+ years of relevant infrastructure and systems administration experience
Windows Server Proficiency: Hands-on experience with Windows Server 2012-2019 (installation, configuration, management, and IIS role) — this is foundational to the work
Database Expertise: Strong SQL Server management skills, including T-SQL and SSRS (SQL Server Reporting Services); experience with backup/restore, user permissions, and script deployment
Scripting & Automation: Advanced knowledge of PowerShell scripting; practical experience with VBScript, CMD, and SQL scripting — automation is central to this role
Active Directory Management: Experience with Active Directory or LDAP in domain environments
Application Architecture Understanding: Knowledge of N-Tier applications utilizing IIS web frontend, .NET services, and SQL Server backend — you don't need to be a developer, but you need to understand how these layers work together
Microsoft Azure Experience: Working experience with Microsoft Azure (Storage, ASG, VMs, Azure DB) — hands-on cloud platform skills
Problem-Solving: Strong troubleshooting and analytical skills with ability to manage multiple assignments and think systematically
Communication: Strong interpersonal skills with ability to explain complex technical solutions to diverse audiences (client IT teams, team members, stakeholders) — this team runs on knowledge sharing

Nice-to-Have

DevOps Tools: Knowledge of Octopus Deploy or Azure DevOps Pipeline
Advanced Cloud: Experience with Azure Serverless, Azure Container Instance, Kubernetes, and Docker
Multi-Cloud: Familiarity with AWS and Google Cloud Platform (GCP)
Methodologies: Experience working with Agile methodologies (Scrum and Kanban)
.NET Development Familiarity: Practical experience or working knowledge of .NET development (VB.Net or C#) — this helps with application troubleshooting, but isn't required

Salary Range: $49,000.00 - $89,700.00 CAD Annual
