How to Apply for IT Systems Engineer, Remote (w/m/d)

at Enpal

🏢 About Enpal

Enpal is leading Europe's renewable energy revolution by making solar solutions accessible and hassle-free. As a fast-growing green tech company, they combine environmental impact with innovative technology, offering the chance to contribute directly to Europe's sustainable energy transition while working in a dynamic, forward-thinking environment.

About This Role

This IT Systems Engineer role is central to maintaining Enpal's remote infrastructure, ensuring seamless operations across Microsoft ecosystems, device management, and network security. You'll directly impact the company's ability to scale its renewable energy solutions by providing reliable technical support, implementing automation, and leading critical IT projects that support hundreds of employees across Europe.

💡 A Day in the Life

Your day might start by reviewing Microsoft Defender alerts and addressing any security incidents, then move to configuring Intune policies for new employee devices. You could spend the afternoon troubleshooting a VPN connectivity issue for the German sales team while simultaneously working on automating Office 365 license management. Throughout the day, you'd collaborate with teams across Europe via Atlassian tools to support their IT needs.

🎯 Who Enpal Is Looking For

  • Has hands-on experience administering Microsoft Entra (formerly Azure AD), Intune, and Office 365 in a cloud-first environment
  • Can demonstrate practical knowledge of both Jamf (for Apple devices) and Intune (for Windows) in a mixed-device environment
  • Has implemented or managed Cisco Meraki networks with VPN solutions in a distributed/remote workforce context
  • Shows experience with security implementation across Microsoft Defender and understands compliance requirements for European tech companies

📝 Tips for Applying to Enpal

1

2

Demonstrate how you've supported remote/hybrid workforces with Cisco Meraki and VPN solutions, as Enpal operates across Europe

3

Showcase automation experience with PowerShell or similar tools for Microsoft ecosystem management

4

Mention any experience with renewable energy or sustainability-focused companies, as this aligns with Enpal's mission

5

Quantify your impact on system uptime, security improvements, or user satisfaction in previous IT administration roles

✉️ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter

['Your experience with Microsoft Entra/Intune/Jamf device management in supporting distributed teams', "Specific examples of IT projects you've led that improved security or automation", "How your technical skills align with supporting a growing renewable energy company's infrastructure", 'Your approach to providing 2nd/3rd level support and conducting root cause analysis for permanent fixes']
