About The Position

Lead 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. Define and evolve 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.

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.
Understanding of enterprise endpoint security concepts (security baselines, hardening, least privilege, patching/updates).

Nice To Haves

Experience with Desired State concepts (e.g., Desired State Configuration or similar) is a plus.
Familiarity with monitoring/telemetry and operational observability concepts is a plus.
