Full Job Description
In this role, you will:

  • Work on 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.


  • E volve 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.
