Windows Deployment Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Job Description
A Windows Engineer job in Cincinnati, OH is currently available at Belcan. This is a hybrid role working two days per week in the Belcan office in Blue Ash. Belcan has an immediate need for a Windows Systems Engineer to serve as a technical lead and central coordinator for our enterprise Patch Management Program. This role owns the end-to-end patching operating rhythm (intake → test → deploy → validate → report), driving standardization, automation, and measurable risk reduction across Windows endpoints and Windows Server workloads. The technical core of the role is automation with Microsoft Configuration Manager (SCCM/MECM) and Microsoft Intune, with additional responsibilities supporting Windows Server deployments in AWS and administration of Box Enterprise as part of the broader endpoint and server management ecosystem.
Additional info: This role requires U.S. citizenship and the ability to obtain or maintain a U.S. DoD Secret security clearance.
Job Duties:
* Serve as technical lead for the enterprise Patch Management Program, defining and maintaining patching standards, tooling patterns, and operating procedures.
* Plan and run the recurring patch cadence: patch intake and prioritization, pilot/testing rings, phased deployment waves, maintenance window coordination, and post-deployment validation.
* Engineer and maintain automated patching frameworks using SCCM/MECM and Intune (update rings/policies, deployment packages, baselines, required deployments, compliance targeting).
* Coordinate cross-platform patching schedules and dependencies with Linux and Network teams to ensure comprehensive coverage and minimal service impact.
* Integrate vulnerability management and remediation workflows (e.g., CVE/critical bulletins) into patch prioritization; track exceptions, compensating controls, and risk acceptance.
* Build and deliver patch compliance reporting and executive dashboards (coverage, compliance %, aging, SLA attainment, failure rates, and trends) and drive corrective actions.
* Own incident and problem follow-up related to patching (failed deployments, reboot coordination, application impact), including root-cause analysis and preventative automation.
* Partner with Change Management to ensure patch deployments are planned, documented, communicated, and executed in alignment with enterprise change controls.
* Administer and optimize Box Enterprise client deployment/management patterns where relevant to endpoint configuration and software lifecycle.
* Deploy and manage Windows Server workloads in AWS (build/standard images, patching, monitoring, backups, and configuration hardening) in coordination with infrastructure and security requirements.
* Create and maintain audit-ready documentation (runbooks, standard operating procedures, exception logs, and evidence artifacts) for the Patch Management Program.
* Provide after-hours support during critical or user-impacting outages and for time-sensitive security patch events.
* Other duties as assigned
Required Qualifications:
* Strong understanding of enterprise patch management concepts (risk-based prioritization, maintenance windows, phased rollouts, compliance measurement, exception handling).
* Hands-on expertise with Microsoft SCCM/MECM and WSUS at scale (software update points, deployment packages, collections/targeting, baselines, reporting, troubleshooting).
* Hands-on expertise with Microsoft Intune (Windows Update for Business policies/rings, feature update strategies, endpoint configuration and compliance policies).
* Proven automation/scripting experience with PowerShell (preferred) and/or Python, including building repeatable workflows and self-service tooling.
* Experience integrating patching with vulnerability remediation processes and producing compliance evidence for audit and security stakeholders.
* Experience deploying and administering Box Enterprise (user/group management, device trust and client deployment considerations, policy configuration).
* Experience deploying and managing Windows Server in AWS (EC2, AMIs, security groups, patching/maintenance, monitoring/logging).
* Experience using Azure DevOps (or equivalent) for planning, tasking, backlog management, and documenting technical work.
* Deep understanding of technology principles and the ability to design and implement complex solutions drawing on multiple tools and platforms.
* Outstanding organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills; comfortable coordinating across infrastructure, security, and application owners.
* Attention to detail and ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment with time-sensitive security priorities
* Bachelor's degree in computer science, Information Technology, or equivalent experience.
Preferred Qualifications & Skills:
* Minimum of 5 years of experience as a Systems Administrator or Systems Engineer supporting enterprise Windows environments.
* Demonstrated experience leading or significantly contributing to a Patch Management Program (planning, testing rings, phased deployments, compliance reporting, exception management).
* Expertise in Windows 11 and Windows Server administration, including troubleshooting patch-related issues and scripting/automation.
* Experience with Windows management tooling such as SCCM/MECM and Intune in a production enterprise environment.
* Experience with Windows Server workloads in AWS and familiarity with Box Enterprise administration is a strong plus.
