A key focus is enabling a long‑term hybrid Windows model, including integration with Azure Arc, while reducing operational overhead and unplanned work.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the global Windows Server platform, including engineering standards, lifecycle management, consolidation, and technical escalation for complex incidents.
• Define and govern SQL Server platform standards in partnership with application teams and DBAs.
• Enable and evolve a hybrid Windows Server model, integrating on‑prem environments with Azure through Azure Arc and collaborating with Cloud and Security teams on governance, identity, monitoring, and vulnerability management.
• Design and maintain core Windows services like Group Policy, DHCP, certificate services (PKI), and Windows file/print services to enterprise standards.
• Operate and improve the enterprise Windows patching programme.
• Harden Windows servers against organizational and industry baselines.
• Maintain accurate CMDB and infrastructure inventory for compliance.
• Build Infrastructure as Code using Ansible, Terraform, or equivalent tools.
• Develop PowerShell automation for operational efficiency and reliability.
• Improve documentation, runbooks, and knowledge sharing across the team.
• Mentor junior engineers and support continuous platform improvement.

• Relevant certifications such as Microsoft Certified: Windows Server Hybrid Administrator Associate or Red Hat Certified Specialist in Ansible Automation are highly valued.
• 5+ years of hands‑on experience engineering and operating Windows Server environments at enterprise scale.
• Strong expertise in Windows Server 2016/2019/2022/2025, Active Directory, Group Policy, DNS, DHCP and other core Windows services.
• Proven experience operating an enterprise patching programme, including patch testing, deployment, and reporting (e.g., WSUS, SCCM/MECM or third‑party patch tools).
• Strong PowerShell scripting skills for automation, reporting, and operational tooling.
• Working knowledge of Windows server hardening and vulnerability management (CIS Benchmarks, Defender for Endpoint/Servers, vulnerability scanners).
• Experience with backup and disaster recovery for Windows workloads, including recovery testing.

Meriting experience & skills

• Experience with Azure infrastructure services and hybrid identity (Entra ID, Entra Connect, Azure Arc for Servers).
• Hands‑on experience with Infrastructure as Code tooling: Ansible, and Terraform or equivalent for Windows infrastructure.
• Experience with virtualization platforms and storage administration.
• Working knowledge of CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions) applied to infrastructure changes.
