• Manage Group Policy Objects (GPOs) and enforce security policies using tailored configurations.
• Ensure monitoring, logging, and auditing capabilities are in place to track AD/Domain Controller performance and security.
• Ensure security best practices, including Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), namespace isolation, and secure ingress/egress traffic configurations.
• Create AWS AMI for Windows Servers using Packer, Ansible, and powershell.
• Work within a secure, air-gapped IL5 environment and implement robust processes to ensure compliance with DoD or other regulatory frameworks.
• Implement and ensure the security and availability of Windows and Linux systems, including patch management, vulnerability assessments, and compliance with organizational policies.
• Automate recurring tasks using scripting tools like PowerShell, Ansible, Python, Bash or Powershell to improve operational efficiency.
• Troubleshoot issues within Windows (file systems, network connectivity, performance, and authentication).
• Plan and execute upgrades, migrations, and installations for both Windows and Linux systems.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure systems integration and operational effectiveness.
• Develop and deliver technical documentation, including CI/CD pipeline configurations, workflow processes, and build instructions.
