Jobbeschreibung

CSA GD is seeking an engineer with deep hands‑on expertise in PowerShell and Desired State Configuration (DSC) to design and deliver Infrastructure-as-Code solutions and reusable delivery assets for enterprise customers. The role is engineering-heavy (software engineering for infrastructure, not basic scripting) and focuses on building and operating production‑grade automation frameworks, DSC resources/configurations, and CI/CD pipelines in Azure DevOps/GitHub for hybrid and cloud environments.

Responsibilities

• Engineer and maintain production‑grade PowerShell automation (functions, modules, packaging, versioning, release management) with an emphasis on reliability, maintainability, and re‑use.
• Design, author, and troubleshoot DSC resources and configurations (idempotent behavior; correct Get/Test/Set; LCM troubleshooting; drift detection and remediation).
• Build and operate CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure automation using Azure DevOps and/or GitHub (PR workflows, gated builds, artifact publishing, environment promotion).
• Work effectively in and with open‑source projects and communities (fork/PR model, upstream collaboration, issue triage, documentation, and contribution hygiene).
• Troubleshoot complex PowerShell/DSC issues end‑to‑end (VS Code debugging, logging/telemetry, remoting, authentication, runspaces, and execution policy constraints).
• Translate customer requirements into an automation architecture and implementation plan (scope, assumptions, constraints, and operational model) and deliver through workshops/advisory and hands‑on implementation.
• Create high‑quality engineering documentation (Markdown) and handover materials; coach peers/partners to ramp up on the solution assets.

Qualifications

Must‑have / minimum qualifications

• Strong software‑engineering background in infrastructure automation using PowerShell (advanced functions, modules, classes, error handling, performance, and maintainability). Experience with C# for infrastructure tooling is highly valuable.
• Deep Git + platform skills: proven hands‑on experience with GitHub and/or Azure DevOps (branching strategies, PR reviews, merge conflict resolution, repo hygiene, releases).
• DSC engineering experience: authoring and operating DSC resources/configurations with correct idempotent behavior; troubleshooting LCM execution and configuration drift; experience with at least one of: class‑based DSC resources, script‑based resources, or DSC v3/DSC CLI concepts.
• Code quality: Pester testing strategy (unit/integration), PSScriptAnalyzer (or equivalent), and comfort working with code reviews and CI quality gates.
• Open‑source collaboration experience: has contributed to or maintained open‑source projects (or equivalent multi‑contributor codebases), including documentation and issue/PR workflows.
• Windows fundamentals: solid knowledge of Windows Server administration and core platform services (e.g., Active Directory, certificates/PKI, networking basics), sufficient to automate and troubleshoot them.
• Microsoft365DSC (preferred) or demonstrable ability to ramp up quickly with prior DSC module/resource development.
• Customer‑facing delivery: ability to run technical workshops, capture requirements, propose architecture, and deliver/hand over automation assets in a structured way.

Nice‑to‑have skills

• Strong hands‑on experience with Azure DevOps Pipelines and/or GitHub Actions for IaC and configuration pipelines (release strategies, approvals, environments).
• Hybrid/on‑prem platform experience relevant to DSC‑driven deployments (e.g., Hyper‑V, Azure Local, Windows Server failover clustering, offline/air‑gapped environments).
• Security‑first automation: secrets management, certificate lifecycle automation, least privilege, and secure coding practices for PowerShell.
• Experience with configuration data and templating approaches (YAML/JSON/PSD1), plus packaging/distribution (PowerShell Gallery or internal feeds).
• Experience mentoring/ramping up peers or partners on PowerShell/DSC and codebase onboarding.
