Junior Systems Engineer

Join Beacon Engineering as our next Junior Systems Engineer in Austin.

About Beacon Engineering

Beacon Engineering is a family-owned technology and energy engineering business based in Austin. Founded in 2021, we run 2 locations in Greater Austin and employ a tight team that values doing the work well over scale.

About the role

You'll help keep servers, networks, and cloud services healthy: monitoring alerts, applying patches and updates, provisioning accounts and hardware, and troubleshooting tickets escalated from the help desk. You'll write and improve small automation scripts, maintain documentation of systems and procedures, assist with backup and recovery testing, and support infrastructure projects led by senior engineers. On-call rotation comes gradually, once you know the environment.

What you will bring

You bring foundational knowledge of operating systems and networking, a methodical approach to troubleshooting, and good notes. Certifications or lab projects show initiative. You stay calm when something breaks, communicate what you're doing, and ask for help at the right moment.

Apply today and we will be in touch. Eligibility for US work authorisation is required at offer stage.
