- Join one of the strongest IT teams in Quebec
- You’re a real tech enthusiast.
- You want to work with people as sharp as you are.
- You want full flexibility to work from home.
- You want to take other sysadmins under your wing and help them grow.
- You want to make the biggest leap of your career.
- Read on.
- A Quebec success story
- S3 is one of Quebec’s IT growth stories. 20+ years in Montreal.
- A team of 100.
- A portfolio of serious Quebec SMBs that have stayed with us for 10, 15, 20 years.
- Recognized by our peers as one of the most technically solid MSPs in Quebec.
- We didn’t grow through aggressive sales.
- We grew because we deliver.
- And our clients talk.
- That’s the environment you’ll be working in.
- The team you’re joining
- A team of technical experts.
- Dedicated.
- Close to our clients.
- Tight with each other.
- We push each other to learn.
- We trade what we know.
- We even hang out.
- When somebody hits a complex challenge, we put our minds together.
- You’re surrounded by smart people.
- That’s what makes you grow.
- Working side by side with people who are better than you on some things, and where you’re better than them on others.
- This is the place where you make a massive leap in your technical knowledge.
- A culture that puts the right things first
- Two priorities at S3:
- Our clients’ satisfaction. They’re the ones who let us build this company. They come first, always.
- Our team’s well-being. Because without a strong, engaged team, we can’t deliver.
- The founders are still here.
- Involved daily.
- Managers are super approachable.
- When you have an idea to make things better, you’re 100% heard.
- What you actually do
- You take ownership of client environments.
- You drive the evolution of Quebec SMB infrastructure: reliability, continuous optimization, security, documentation.
- You communicate directly with clients to keep what you’re building aligned with what they actually need.
- You work shoulder-to-shoulder with co-managed client IT teams.
- Many of our clients have their own internal IT staff.
- You’re the technical counterpart on the other side — having real, detailed technical conversations, trading knowledge, solving problems together.
- Over time, you become the person they call when it counts.
- That’s why our clients stay with us for decades.
- You step in where it matters.
- Critical incidents, complex problems, architecture challenges.
- You prioritize based on real client impact, not noise.
- There’s an on-call rotation, but our team in the Philippines absorbs most of the off-hours volume.
- You take other sysadmins under your wing.
- You make sure they evolve.
- You teach them what you’ve learned.
- You contribute to our technical standards.
- A big part of this senior role is coaching the next generation of S3 talent.
- We’re looking for someone who…
- Has 7+ years as a system administrator
- Has solid command of Active Directory, Windows Server, Microsoft 365 / Exchange
- Knows networking (LAN/WAN, firewall, Wi-Fi), virtualization, and cloud
- Has worked with Cisco, Dell, Fortinet
- Communicates well in French and English
- Is curious, proactive, solution-oriented
- Has a DEC or AEC in IT (or equivalent)
Bonus
- MSP experience, PowerShell, Microsoft, Azure, or Fortinet certifications.
- What you get
- Competitive salary, based on your experience
- 100% remote, hybrid, office (whatever is best for you), with client visits 1 to 2 times per month
- Full group insurance and telemedicine
- 5 days PTO, paid out if unused
- Computer equipment allowance
- Monthly cell phone allowance
- Annual retreat with the team and your family
- Downtown office (Place des Festivals) with gym, showers, and social events
- Quarterly team events
- What your first year looks like
- After 6 months.
- You’re managing your client environments autonomously.
- You know the quirks of each one.
- Their IT teams trust you.
- After 12 months.
- You’ve taken sysadmins under your wing.
- You’ve implemented major optimizations that make a visible difference.
- You’re a recognized technical pillar on the team.
- Ready to make the move?
- If you want to make the biggest leap of your career, on a team that will push you every day, apply now.
