  • Participate in ongoing engineering, maintenance, and support efforts to improve the Windows environment

Qualifications

  • 10+ years of experience as a Microsoft-based technology engineer
  • Experience using Ansible (or similar configuration-as-code tool) to manage a fleet of Windows devices
  • Proven ability to provision Microsoft Azure resources with Terraform
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Graph API development
  • Experience developing scripts and tools using PowerShell
  • Familiarity with Microsoft Intune, Autopilot, Entra ID, and Active Directory
  • A general design approach that incorporates security best practices, business continuity, high availability, and scalability
  • A self-motivated and driven work ethic

The estimated base salary range for this position is 150,000 to 250,000 USD per year (or local equivalent).
