About The Position

Group 1001 is a consumer-centric, technology-driven family of insurance companies on a mission to deliver outstanding value and operational performance by combining financial strength and stability with deep insurance expertise and a can-do culture. Group1001’s culture emphasizes the importance of collaboration, communication, core business focus, risk management, and striving for outcomes. This goal extends to how we hire and onboard our most valuable assets – our employees. We're looking for a Senior Microsoft Engineer who lives at the intersection of deep technical mastery and genuine user obsession. You'll own our endpoint platform and the broader M365 ecosystem — the technology our people touch every single day — and you'll be the engineer who makes sure that experience is fast, secure, modern, and effortless. This isn't a keep-the-lights-on role. We need a true technologist: someone who reads release notes for fun, follows the threat landscape, experiments with AI on weekends, and believes automation isn't a project — it's a posture. The endpoint is where our business meets technology. Every advisor conversation, every policy issued, every claim adjudicated — it all flows through the devices and platforms you'll own. We're investing in this role because we believe a world-class digital workplace is a competitive advantage, not a cost center. We need an engineer who believes the same thing and has the chops to prove it.

Requirements

7+ years engineering Microsoft platforms in regulated environments (L&A, insurance, or financial services preferred).
Expert-level command of Intune, Autopilot, Entra ID, and the M365 administrative stack.
Fluent PowerShell and comfortable Graph API usage.
Experience building CI/CD pipelines for endpoint and M365 workloads using Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, or equivalent.
Git is muscle memory.
Working command of endpoint security: Defender for Endpoint, attack surface reduction, BitLocker, Credential Guard, application control, and the principles behind zero trust.
Understand identity as the new perimeter and can engineer accordingly.
Stay current with industry voices, Microsoft tech community, and track relevant CVEs.
Have informed opinions on where AI is heading and what it means for the digital workplace over the next 24 months.
Keep the user at the center, measuring success by whether people feel their technology is quietly, reliably excellent and improving.
