What is a systems engineer?

Systems engineers are professionals who design, integrate, and manage complex systems throughout their life cycles. They work across various industries, ensuring that all aspects of a project or system—hardware, software, processes, and people—work together efficiently and effectively. Systems engineers coordinate between different engineering teams, address technical and organizational challenges, and ensure requirements are met. Their role often involves both big-picture thinking and attention to detail to deliver reliable and scalable solutions.

What does a systems engineer do?

The role of a systems engineer varies based on the company they work for, but in every industry systems engineers use computerized systems to keep track of all the moving parts within their organizations. The term systems engineer usually refers to a computer systems engineer, which combines several disciplines to create, purchase, and install a computer system that suits the needs of each particular client. They will also work in a hands-on manner during the installation, acquisition, testing, and implementation phases of the project. Duties typically include making recommendations for scalability, troubleshooting any problems that arise during the use of the system, reviewing a company’s security requirements, and recommending security measures to allow the company to avoid compromising any sensitive data.

Understanding these differences helps employers and professionals align skills with job requirements.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a systems engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Systems Engineer, you need a strong background in systems architecture, troubleshooting, and integration, typically supported by a degree in computer science or engineering. Familiarity with operating systems (like Linux and Windows), virtualization platforms, scripting languages, and certifications such as CompTIA, Cisco (CCNA), or Microsoft (MCSA) are commonly required. Strong problem-solving abilities, effective communication, and teamwork make candidates stand out in this role. These skills and qualifications ensure the design, implementation, and maintenance of reliable, scalable systems critical for organizational operations.

How does a systems engineer typically collaborate with cross-functional teams during a project lifecycle?

Systems Engineers often serve as a bridge between various technical and non-technical teams, including software developers, network specialists, project managers, and end users. Throughout a project, they participate in requirements gathering, design reviews, and integration testing, ensuring that each component fits seamlessly within the overall system. Effective communication and documentation are crucial, as Systems Engineers must translate complex technical concepts into actionable tasks for diverse stakeholders. This collaborative approach not only streamlines problem-solving but also helps deliver robust, scalable solutions.

Job description

The Role in One Sentence

You’re the engineer who makes the systems that run our broadband business talk to each other — and then run themselves.

What You’ll Actually Do

When a customer signs up for broadband, VoIP, or IPTV, a chain of systems has to fire in order: the CRM captures the order, the product catalog prices it, provisioning turns the service on, and billing starts the clock — all without anyone keying data in twice or chasing down why an account didn’t activate. Your job is to design, connect, and automate that chain, and to keep it reliable as we grow.

This is fundamentally an integration and automation role, not a single-platform admin job. You’ll live across our core CRM, billing, and provisioning platforms, but the value you create is in the connective tissue between them. If you like turning manual, error-prone handoffs into clean automated workflows — and you’re comfortable moving between a CRM config screen, a Python script, and an API spec in the same afternoon — this is built for you.

Title: BSS Systems Engineer

Location: Remote

Rate: $85,000-$115,000 annually

Full-Time/Part Time: Full-Time

Reporting to: Director of BSS

What a Typical Week Looks Like

No two weeks are identical, but roughly:

  • ~40% — Integration & automation. Building and maintaining the connections between systems (APIs, webhooks, middleware, scripts) and automating provisioning, activation, and billing workflows.
  • ~25% — Platform configuration. Configuring and tuning BSS platforms: CRM, billing, product catalog, provisioning, service activation, inventory, and workflow tools.
  • ~20% — Reliability & data integrity. Troubleshooting system-level issues end to end, keeping data in sync across CRM, network management, and billing, and coordinating with vendors when needed.
  • ~15% — Collaboration & projects. Working with other teams on workflow design, release planning, vendor evaluations, UAT, change control, upgrades, and documentation.

Working with AI

We treat modern AI tools as part of how strong engineers work today. You’re encouraged to use AI assistants to accelerate scripting, draft and review integrations, generate documentation, and speed up troubleshooting. What matters to us is sound engineering judgment and reliable systems — not whether a human or a model wrote the first draft.

What You'll Own

The systems

Configure and maintain BSS platforms — CRM, billing, product catalog, provisioning, service activation, inventory, and workflow tools, with the CRM, billing, and provisioning platforms at the center.

The integrations

Connect internal systems and third-party applications using APIs, webhooks, middleware, and scripts. Automate provisioning, activation, and billing workflows for broadband, VoIP, and IPTV. Keep data accurate and synchronized across CRM, network management, and billing platforms.

Reliability

Troubleshoot system-level issues and drive them to resolution, coordinating with vendors as needed. Support reporting and analytics by exposing key system data to BI tools and warehouses. Contribute to cybersecurity compliance and access-control settings.

Collaboration & delivery

Partner with the Sr. Business Process Manager, Finance, Network Engineering, Network Operations, Customer Experience, and Marketing to define and implement business workflows. Contribute to system architecture, release planning, and performance optimization. Take part in vendor evaluations and implementations, UAT, change control, and system upgrades. Keep documentation current — workflows, data models, and change logs.

What you'll Bring

We’re looking for someone who fits the shape of this role more than someone who checks every single box. If you’ve spent real time integrating and automating the systems behind a telecom or ISP and you’re missing one or two items below, we still want to hear from you.

Core

  • 5+ years working with BSS/OSS platforms in a telecom or ISP environment
  • Hands-on experience with enterprise CRM, billing, and BI/analytics platforms
  • Intermediate-to-expert scripting: Python, Bash, SQL, and REST APIs
  • Solid grasp of data flows and ETL
  • Familiarity with broadband/telecom service provisioning systems
  • Working knowledge of IP networking fundamentals: DHCP, RADIUS, DNS
  • Strong troubleshooting, documentation, and cross-functional communication skills
  • Comfortable working across departments and balancing competing priorities
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or equivalent experience

Even better if you have

  • Experience with network management and monitoring tools
  • Working knowledge of OSS systems and how they interact with BSS
  • Knowledge of network topology and service design (PON, DOCSIS)
  • Experience with container orchestration and modern deployment tooling
  • Familiarity with TM Forum frameworks (eTOM, SID, Open APIs)

Working Conditions

  • Remote, but must reside within driving distance of one of our property locations: Winona, MN; Sergeant Bluff, IA; Maricopa, AZ; Hagerstown, MD; Burlington, VT; or New Knoxville, OH
  • Occasional travel for project implementations or vendor meetings
  • Participation in scheduled maintenance windows and incident-response support
  • Participation in cross-functional projects and change-control boards

Why Join Schurz Broadband Group?

  • Group health & dental insurance
  • 401(k) program with company match

  • Employer-paid short- and long-term disability
