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

Profile

Required Experience

PowerShell Development

• Advanced PowerShell expertise
• Experience designing, writing, debugging, and maintaining production-grade PowerShell scripts and automation frameworks
• Ability to build reusable tools, modules, and workflows rather than simply executing administrative commands
• Strong understanding of scripting best practices, error handling, logging, testing, and code maintainability

Infrastructure & Automation

• Experience implementing Infrastructure-as-Code using Terraform or equivalent tooling
• Experience with Configuration-as-Code platforms including Ansible, Chef, Puppet, or similar technologies
• Experience building automation pipelines using Jenkins, Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, or equivalent CI/CD tools
• Strong understanding of infrastructure lifecycle automation and platform engineering principles

Microsoft Ecosystem

• Deep experience supporting enterprise Windows environments
• Strong Azure infrastructure knowledge
• Experience with Microsoft Graph API development and automation
• Experience with Intune, Autopilot, Entra ID, and Active Directory
• Understanding of endpoint management and enterprise identity services

Reliability Engineering & Observability

• Experience leveraging monitoring, logging, and telemetry platforms to improve system reliability
• Familiarity with tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, Splunk, Nagios, Datadog, or similar observability platforms
• Ability to use metrics and operational data to drive troubleshooting, root cause analysis, and engineering decisions
• Strong understanding of reliability, scalability, and operational excellence concepts

Preferred Experience

• Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) experience
• Experience operating large-scale Windows environments
• Experience managing globally distributed infrastructure
• Exposure to cloud-native operations and modern platform engineering practices
• Strong understanding of high availability, disaster recovery, and infrastructure resiliency

Job Offer

• Competitive salary ranging from $250,000 to $300,000 per year.
• Comprehensive benefits package.
• 401(k) match for retirement planning.
