Profile

  • Strong hands-on experience with Hyper-V virtualization, including clustering, migration, and shared storage.

  • Strong knowledge of Windows Server and Active Directory, particularly troubleshooting and replication.

  • Experience administering Remote Desktop Services (RDS).

  • Experience with backup and disaster recovery, using Veeam or a similar solution.

  • A solid understanding of SAN/NAS storage and networking technologies, including TCP/IP, VLANs, routing, and VPNs.

  • Strong troubleshooting skills and the ability to prioritize technical issues effectively.

  • A collaborative approach and a willingness to share knowledge and support colleagues.

  • A bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field.


Compensation and Benefits

  • Permanent, full-time position

  • Annual base salary: CAD $90,000–$105,000

  • Six weeks of paid time off: four weeks of vacation plus two weeks of paid leave during the holiday season

  • Comprehensive benefits package, including insurance coverage and a pension plan with employer contributions

  • Summer work schedule

  • Hybrid work arrangement in Montreal

  • Employee and Family Assistance Program
