- System provisioning
- Configuration management

- Create automation that supports lifecycle management, including updates, patching, and configuration drift detection.
- Develop quality-of-life tooling to support System Engineers and customer deployments.
- Collaborate with hardware teams to provide structured feedback on performance, anomalies, and integration challenges.
- Follow security guidance from internal and customer-facing and help implement threat protection and best practices.
- Contribute to technical documentation, including system designs, release notes, integration workflows, and troubleshooting guides.

- 5+ years of engineering experience and supporting Windows Server deployment environments (or equivalent).
- Solid working knowledge of:

- Experience supporting hardware/software integrated systems.
- Exposure to enterprise security tooling and endpoint protection.
- Experience leading system upgrades or migration projects.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code or configuration management tools.
