Workplace Type:
Hybrid

Core Responsibilities:

  • Lead endpoint automation for provisioning, compliance, remediation, and standard configuration across the Windows fleet. 

  • Engineer and modernize deployment workflows using Microsoft Intune, SCCM/MECM, and Windows Autopilot, with a focus on repeatability, safety, and scale. 

  • Build reusable PowerShell-based frameworks (and supporting tooling) for device configuration, drift detection, self-healing remediation, and operational consistency. 

  • Define and evolve Windows endpoint standards including OS baseline configuration, security baselines, and lifecycle practices aligned with enterprise requirements. 

  • Partner with QA and release governance to improve validation practices for patches, feature updates, policy changes, security configuration, and application rollouts. 

  • Implement and expand CI/CD practices for endpoint engineering content (scripts, configuration, packaging, policy-as-code where applicable), using Git-based workflows, reviews, and promotion patterns. 

  • Integrate with identity and security platforms (e.g., Microsoft Entra ID) to support secure provisioning, access, and device compliance patterns. 

  • Reduce operational toil and improve reliability by automating routine work, codifying repeatable runbooks, and improving observability and troubleshooting signals. 

  • Collaborate across Workplace Engineering (Windows, VDI, macOS/mobility, Digital Workplace) to standardize engineering patterns and share automation approaches. 

Technical Requirements: 

  • Strong experience with Windows endpoint engineering in an enterprise environment (OS configuration, policy management, troubleshooting, and lifecycle management). 

  • Hands-on experience with Microsoft Intune and SCCM/MECM for application delivery, device management, and endpoint configuration. 

  • Experience with Windows Autopilot and modern provisioning patterns. 

  • Proficiency in PowerShell for automation, packaging, and remediation workflows. 

  • Working knowledge of CI/CD concepts and Git-based workflows (code reviews, branching strategies, reusable templates/modules). 

  • Familiarity with Microsoft Entra ID and endpoint identity/compliance patterns. 

  • Experience with Desired State concepts (e.g., Desired State Configuration or similar) is a plus. 

  • Understanding of enterprise endpoint security concepts (security baselines, hardening, least privilege, patching/updates). 

  • Familiarity with monitoring/telemetry and operational observability concepts is a plus. 

What it takes:

  • Undergraduate degree in a related field or equivalent experience. 

  • 3–5+ years of relevant experience in Windows endpoint engineering, automation, or platform engineering roles. 

  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, and troubleshooting skills. 

  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to document standards and enable others. 

  • Ability to work across teams, influence standards, and drive automation-first engineering practices. 

  • Strong planning, organization, and delivery discipline. 

Qualifications:

  • Minimum of eight years related work experience.

  • Undergraduate degree in a related field or the equivalent combination of training and experience.
