Job Description
About the Role
We are modernizing our enterprise technology infrastructure & applications. We're looking for an experienced Enterprise Systems Engineer who wants to play a leading role in that transformation, reporting directly to the VP of Information Technology. While this is not a software engineering position, we expect the successful candidate to be comfortable writing production-quality code when it is the best solution to the problem.
This is an opportunity for an engineer who enjoys solving difficult technical problems that span infrastructure, software, databases, cloud platforms, applications, and systems integration. You'll have significant autonomy in determining technical approaches while collaborating closely with IT leadership and business stakeholders. You'll have the opportunity to work across multiple technology domains, both on-prem and cloud, while helping define the next generation of our technology stack.
If you're the type of engineer who enjoys taking an ambiguous problem, uncovering the root cause, evaluating multiple technical approaches, implementing the right solution, and then helping the organization successfully adopt it—you'll thrive in this role.
What You'll Do
- Lead the technical design and implementation of modernization initiatives spanning applications, databases, infrastructure, cloud platforms, IAM, integration, and automation.
- Independently investigate complex cross platform technical problems, identify root causes, develop and compare solution options, and recommend implementation strategies based on business value, risk, cost, operational impact, and long-term maintainability.
- Own technology solutions from initial discovery and architecture through development, testing, deployment, stabilization, documentation, and transition to operational support.
- Develop scripts, APIs, automation, integrations, and ETL processes to improve reliability, efficiency, and data flow between enterprise systems.
- Design and implement solutions within an environment that includes Microsoft Windows Server, MS 365, Azure, Active Directory, Entra ID, Intune, Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft Dynamics, and Salesforce.
- Support SQL Server administration, query optimization, troubleshooting, and performance tuning.
- Provide technical leadership during migration from legacy systems to modern cloud and SaaS platforms.
- Collaborate with IT, business teams, vendors, and external partners to deliver reliable and practical technology solutions.
- Create clear technical documentation, establish support procedures, and train other IT staff to operate and maintain technical solutions.
- Evaluate emerging technologies, including generative AI, and recommend opportunities to reduce risk, improve productivity, and support business growth.
What We're Looking For
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Software Engineering, or a related discipline, or equivalent professional experience.
- At least 8 years of progressively responsible experience in enterprise IT, systems engineering, software development, cloud engineering, or a related technical field.
- Demonstrated ability to work across enterprise architecture, systems engineering, software development, databases, and cloud technologies.
- Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills with the ability to independently solve complex technical problems.
- Experience designing and implementing enterprise technology solutions with minimal supervision.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to explain technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.
Core Technical Experience
Successful candidates should bring strong experience in several of the following areas, with the ability to work effectively across the others:
- Microsoft infrastructure and cloud technologies, including Windows Server, Azure, MS 365, Active Directory, Entra ID, Intune, and PowerShell.
- Microsoft SQL Server, including SQL development, query optimization, troubleshooting, and database administration fundamentals.
- Experience in coding using one or more modern languages such as Python, C#, or Java.
- Experience developing APIs, automation, systems integrations, and ETL processes.
- Enterprise architecture, systems engineering, cloud migration, and modernization of legacy environments.
- Experience using generative AI tools to improve development, troubleshooting, analysis, and efficiency.
Preferred Technical Experience
- Agile delivery methodologies and modern software-development practices.
- Microsoft Dynamics
- Salesforce (Field Service, Sales Cloud, Agentforce, Payments)
- Networking (Cisco, Meraki, Windows, general troubleshooting)
What Makes Someone Successful in This Role
The ideal candidate:
- Enjoys tackling technical challenges that don't fit neatly into a single discipline.
- Thinks strategically but enjoys hands-on implementation & can quickly learn unfamiliar technologies.
- Balances technical excellence with practical business needs.
- Operates independently while collaborating effectively with others.
- Takes ownership from initial concept through successful deployment.
- Builds solutions that are maintainable, well documented, and supportable by the broader IT team
- Communicates fluently and credibly with engineers, business leaders, users, vendors, and external partners.
- Knows when to pursue a robust long-term solution and when a simpler, pragmatic approach is appropriate.
Within your first year you'll have:
- Led one or more enterprise modernization initiatives.
- Delivered automation and integration that measurably improve IT efficiency, reliability, or service quality.
- Helped modernize our identity and endpoint-management environment.
- Helped define the technical strategy and roadmap for upgrading and migrating our legacy ERP environment.
- Become a trusted SME for complex cross-functional initiatives.
Why Join Us?
This role offers an unusual combination of technical breadth, autonomy, and visible impact. You will not be limited to a single platform or narrow specialty. You will have the opportunity to influence infrastructure, cloud architecture, identity, databases, enterprise applications, automation, integrations, and software solutions across the organization.
You will work closely with IT leadership and business stakeholders, help determine how complex problems should be solved, and see your solutions through from initial concept to sustained production use. For an engineer who values variety, ownership, and the opportunity to materially improve an enterprise technology environment, this is a role where you will thrive.
Compensation
$100,000–$130,000 annually, depending on experience, plus applicable benefits

Enterprise Systems Engineer Jobs in Texas: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a enterprise systems engineer in Texas?
Most enterprise systems engineers in Texas start with a bachelor's degree in computer science, information systems, or electrical engineering, then build experience through IT support, systems administration, or network engineering roles. Texas has no state-issued license for this role, but employers consistently expect industry certifications such as Microsoft Certified Solutions Expert, AWS Solutions Architect, or Cisco CCNP. Larger Texas employers in energy, defense, and healthcare often prefer candidates with domain-specific systems experience in addition to general IT credentials.
Which companies hire enterprise systems engineers in Texas?
Employers hiring enterprise systems engineers in Texas right now include Apple, AMD, and Texas Tech University, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Texas's concentration of Fortune 500 headquarters, federal defense contractors, and major healthcare systems means demand for enterprise-level infrastructure talent stays broad and consistent across the state.
Which Texas cities have the most enterprise systems engineer jobs?
Austin, Houston, and Dallas have the most enterprise systems engineer openings in Texas. Dallas leads because of its dense cluster of corporate headquarters and financial services firms, Austin follows on the strength of its established tech industry, and Houston's energy sector and sprawling medical center generate sustained demand for large-scale enterprise infrastructure talent.
Are there remote enterprise systems engineer jobs in Texas?
Yes, and more than many IT roles. Enterprise systems engineers often work across distributed environments by design, which makes a meaningful share of the work deliverable remotely. About 50% of enterprise systems engineer openings tied to Texas are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, with the most remote-friendly work concentrated in cloud architecture, systems integration, and enterprise application administration rather than hands-on data center or on-premise hardware roles.
How can I get hired as a enterprise systems engineer in Texas with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is moving up from a systems administrator, IT support specialist, or network technician role at a Texas employer that runs large internal infrastructure. Large Texas employers in healthcare such as Texas Health Resources, and technology firms headquartered in Austin and Dallas, regularly hire junior systems engineers or infrastructure associates from those adjacent positions. Earning an entry-level cloud certification such as AWS Cloud Practitioner or Microsoft Azure Fundamentals before applying gives candidates a measurable edge and signals readiness for enterprise-scale environments.
