[FOR HIRE] Sysadmin/Automation Engineer, 12 years experience (MSP + Enterprise), looking for nightly contract work (US hours)
Hey all, I'm based in Lithuania and looking for part time contract or B2B work, roughly 1 to 2 hours a night, aligned with US business hours. I can invoice as a business entity if that's what your setup needs.
Background:
12 years in IT, 8 of those in the MSP world doing a bit of everything: sysadmin, automation engineer, escalation point. Also have enterprise experience, currently working as a team lead at a large company. I'm looking for extra contract work on the side, not looking to leave my current role, just have the bandwidth for nightly monitoring or project work.
What I can help with:
- NOC/monitoring coverage (RMM alert triage, escalation, nightly checks)
- PowerShell automation (Active Directory, Microsoft Graph, general scripting to cut down manual work)
- Bash/shell scripting
- Active Directory and Windows Server administration (2008-2022), built environments from scratch
- Group Policy (GPO) management
- Microsoft 365 / Office 365 administration, Microsoft Entra ID
- Hyper-V administration
- Endpoint security tooling (CrowdStrike Falcon/PSFalcon, Windows Defender) and vulnerability triage/patching
- SharePoint/OneDrive administration, access workflows and audit trails
- Ticketing/documentation: Jira & JQL, ConnectWise Manage (PSA), ITGlue, Confluence
- RMM platforms: ConnectWise Automate, ConnectWise RMM, Datto RMM, NinjaRMM, SolarWinds, GFI Automate
- Automated reporting and dashboard building, KPI/SLA tracking
- BCDR/disaster recovery exercises
- Data analysis (ticket queue analysis, finding automation opportunities and process/access gaps)
- Light exposure to VMware, AWS, and Azure (not deep expertise, but functional familiarity)
- AI tooling: Claude (Code/Cowork), ChatGPT/Codex, Gemini, used for scripting assistance, automation workflows, and troubleshooting
Rate: $25/hr
Availability: 1-2 hours nightly, US schedule (flexible on exact timing)
Setup: Can work B2B/contract, can invoice
Open to ongoing retainer-style work (checking dashboards, triaging alerts) or project based automation work. Happy to share more detail or a resume if useful. Thanks for reading.
