Microsoft Cloud & Infrastructure Engineer (MSP) in Englewood, Colorado at Anchor Network Solutions, Inc.

Anchor Network Solutions is looking for a hands-on cloud engineer to own the technical delivery of client projects, with a primary focus on Microsoft Azure, Entra ID, Intune, and the Microsoft 365 stack. You'll lead implementations from discovery through handoff, working across a diverse client base in an MSP environment. This is a project execution role, not project management.

Alongside cloud project delivery, this role has a growing AI focus. You'll help clients evaluate, implement, and support AI tools and platforms, including Microsoft's AI ecosystem as well as other leading AI platforms, and you'll contribute technical design input and hands-on development work on AI implementations as our practice in this area continues to grow.

If you've spent the last few years migrating clients to Azure and M365, are comfortable with Entra ID and hybrid identity, can still rack a switch or configure a firewall when the project calls for it, and learning and honing your AI skills sounds exciting, this role was written for you.

• Lead end-to-end delivery of cloud and infrastructure projects. Examples include but are not limited to: Azure migrations, M365 tenant deployments, Entra ID/hybrid identity implementations, Intune/endpoint management, Exchange Online migrations, Teams/SharePoint rollouts, and email security configurations.

• Implement and configure Microsoft Purview for clients, including data classification, DLP, retention, sensitivity labels, and compliance/governance requirements.

• Support clients with AI adoption, evaluating and implementing AI tools and platforms (Microsoft Copilot, and other leading AI platforms), providing technical design input, and helping clients understand best practices for security, governance, and licensing.

• Deliver on-premises infrastructure work as needed. Examples include but are not limited to: network refreshes (switching, routing, VLANs, wireless, firewalls), Windows Server/Active Directory, and hybrid connectivity.

• Manage the full project lifecycle: scoping, planning, execution, documentation, and client handoff.

• Maintain real-time documentation of configurations, changes, and project status.

• Communicate clearly with clients and internal teams on milestones, risks, and next steps.

• Partner with Project Managers on scheduling, dependencies, and resource coordination.

Accurate, on-time project delivery. Clear documentation and communication. Clients who feel taken care of. A team that trusts your technical judgment. Consistent utilization. Continuing education. A genuine curiosity about emerging cloud and AI technologies, and a willingness to help clients put them to good use.

• Health, dental, and vision insurance

• PTO, sick time, and paid holidays

• 401(k) after 6 months

• Training and certification reimbursement
