Job Description

We are seeking a Senior Windows Platform Engineer to join our Enterprise Engineering team. This role is focused on automation, infrastructure engineering, and platform reliability across a global Microsoft ecosystem.

This is not a traditional Windows administration position. We are looking for an engineer who leverages PowerShell as a development tool, applies Infrastructure-as-Code and Configuration-as-Code principles to manage systems at scale, and uses observability data to drive operational decisions.

You will partner with a globally distributed engineering team to design, build, and maintain automated solutions supporting Windows endpoints, server infrastructure, Microsoft Azure, identity platforms, and enterprise device management systems.

What You'll Do
  • Build and maintain PowerShell-based automation, tooling, and reusable frameworks
  • Develop solutions that eliminate repetitive operational work through automation
  • Implement Infrastructure-as-Code and Configuration-as-Code practices across enterprise environments
  • Provision and manage Azure infrastructure using Terraform and related IaC technologies
  • Manage Windows systems through code-based configuration management platforms such as Ansible, Chef, or Puppet
  • Design and support CI/CD workflows that improve speed, consistency, and reliability of infrastructure deployments
  • Leverage monitoring, logging, and telemetry data to improve platform performance, reliability, and operational efficiency
  • Build automation and integrations using Microsoft Graph APIs
  • Engineer and support solutions across Azure, Entra ID, Active Directory, Intune, Autopilot, and Workspace ONE environments
  • Identify opportunities to improve resiliency, scalability, security, and operational maturity throughout the enterprise platform
  • Participate in troubleshooting and root cause analysis of complex infrastructure and automation issues
