• Microsoft certifications (e.g., MCSE, Windows Client/Server, MD-102).
• Experience with endpoint management tools (e.g., SCCM, Intune).
• Familiarity with scripting (PowerShell) for automation and diagnostics.
• Background in performance engineering, reliability engineering, or endpoint hardening.

Compensation

$65/hr to $70/hr.
