Who Are We Looking For?

The NOC Engineer is a core member of Mobiz's 24×7 Network Operations Center, responsible for monitoring, triaging, and resolving infrastructure incidents across cloud, network, server, and endpoint environments for a portfolio of managed services clients. This is a mid-level role suited to engineers who have moved beyond basic alert acknowledgement and are ready to own incident investigations end-to-end — applying technical judgment, coordinating with engineering teams, and ensuring every action is documented to a professional standard. NOC Engineers at Mobiz work across a diverse multi-client estate spanning Microsoft Azure, enterprise firewalls, and hybrid infrastructure, providing broad exposure that accelerates technical growth across networking, cloud operations, and security disciplines.

Key Responsibilities

Alert Monitoring & Triage

• Monitor client infrastructure across cloud, network, server, and endpoint platforms using RMM and Azure Monitor dashboards throughout assigned shift.
• Acknowledge, categorize, and prioritize incoming alerts against defined SLA windows; apply runbook procedures to execute first-response actions.
• Create accurate, well-documented ServiceNow tickets for every actionable alert — capturing symptoms, affected systems, actions taken, and current status.
• Perform initial and intermediate triage to determine scope, impact, and root cause direction before escalating to senior engineers or the NOC Manager.
• Execute routine health checks, backup job verification, patch status reviews, and capacity threshold monitoring across client environments.
• Maintain full shift awareness of all open incidents, scheduled maintenance windows, and active change records relevant to monitored environments.

Incident Response & Escalation

• Own assigned P1 and P2 incidents from acknowledgement through resolution or structured handoff; maintain continuous status updates in ServiceNow throughout.
• Perform diagnostic investigation — log analysis, network path tracing, service dependency mapping, and Azure resource health review — to drive resolution.
• Coordinate with engineering squads (cloud, network, security, EUS) and, where applicable, vendor TAC teams for complex resolution paths.
• Participate in Major Incident Management (MIM) bridge calls under NOC Manager direction — providing real-time technical status and driving toward containment.
• Conduct structured shift handovers ensuring all open incidents, active alerts, and suppression statuses are clearly communicated to the incoming shift.

Platform Operations & Maintenance

• Monitor RMM agent health across client environments — investigate agent offline alerts and coordinate remediation with client IT or endpoint teams.
• Assist with onboarding new client environments into monitoring platforms: configure alert thresholds, notification policies, and monitoring templates.
• Validate backup job completion for client environments (Azure Backup, Recovery Services Vaults, third-party agents); escalate failures per defined playbook.
• Support patching operations — monitor Azure Update Manager and RMM patch job outcomes; escalate failures and document exceptions.
• Maintain NOC tooling hygiene: close resolved alerts, decommission stale monitoring objects, and keep CMDB data aligned with client asset changes.

Documentation & Knowledge Management

• Author and update runbooks, troubleshooting guides, and knowledge base articles in ServiceNow following incident resolution.
• Document all actions taken during a shift with sufficient detail for a peer to reconstruct the investigation timeline without additional context.
• Contribute to post-incident review (PIR) documentation for P1 events; provide accurate technical timelines and action logs to the NOC Manager.
• Identify gaps in existing runbooks based on recurring incidents or novel failure modes; propose updates through the appropriate review process.
• Support continuous improvement by flagging noisy alert thresholds, false-positive patterns, and tuning opportunities to the NOC Manager.

Candidate Profile: Requirements & Preferred Qualifications 

Required Qualifications

• 3–5 years of NOC, infrastructure operations, or systems administration experience in a managed services or enterprise environment.
• Solid networking fundamentals: TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, VLANs, routing protocols, and WAN connectivity diagnostics.
• Hands-on experience with at least one enterprise firewall platform: Palo Alto Networks, Fortinet FortiGate, WatchGuard, or Cisco Meraki.
• Working knowledge of Microsoft Azure: VM health monitoring, NSG rules, Azure Monitor alerts, Log Analytics basics, and Recovery Services Vault backup jobs.
• Experience with ServiceNow or an equivalent ITSM platform for incident lifecycle management and documentation.
• Familiarity with RMM tooling (ConnectWise Automate, N-able, Datto RMM, or equivalent) for agent monitoring and remote remediation.
• Ability to independently investigate and resolve P2-level incidents with clear, professional documentation.
• Strong communication skills — written and verbal — with the discipline to keep stakeholders informed throughout an incident lifecycle.
  

Preferred Qualifications

• Microsoft certifications: AZ-104 (Azure Administrator) or AZ-900 (Azure Fundamentals) — or actively pursuing.
• CompTIA Network+ or equivalent networking certification.
• Familiarity with Microsoft Sentinel for basic alert consumption and triage (KQL query reading, not authoring required).
• Exposure to endpoint security platforms: Microsoft Defender for Endpoint or CrowdStrike Falcon (read/triage access).
• Basic scripting skills: PowerShell or KQL for log queries and diagnostic automation.
• Experience monitoring BCDR platforms: Azure Site Recovery, backup job alerting, or equivalent third-party agents.
• Fortinet NSE4, Palo Alto PCNSE, or Cisco CCNA — or actively pursuing.
