You will take part in a migration from an on-premise Hyper-V infrastructure to a Hybrid-Cloud Azure infrastructure that re-imagines device deployment, software deployment, configuration management and Microsoft Directory infrastructure; all while leveraging an infrastructure-as-code-based approach.

    Responsibilities
    • Engineer and implement a scalable global Microsoft Directory infrastructure that leverages technologies such as Microsoft Active Directory, Azure Active Directory, and Azure Active Directory Domain services
    • Implement a Windows-based VDI platform leveraging Microsoft Hyper-V HCI Clusters, Microsoft Storage Spaces, Microsoft Azure, and other supporting technologies
    • Identify inefficiencies in established processes and develop PowerShell systems to automate solutions
    • Implement and maintain Microsoft SQL Server clustered environments to improve performance and resilience
    • Support the maintenance of existing Microsoft platform infrastructure and Windows platform troubleshooting escalation requests

    Qualifications
    • 10+ years' experience as a Microsoft-based technology engineer
    • Proven experience designing and implementing clustered Microsoft Hyper-V and Microsoft Azure environments
    • Experience developing PowerShell-based systems
    • Microsoft SQL Server clusters implementation and management skills
    • Windows desktop and server configuration management skills
    • Familiarity with managing projects that span multiple teams to successful completion
    • A general design approach that incorporates security best practices, business continuity, high availability, and scalability
    • A self-motivated and driven work ethic
    • A problem solver who thinks critically and independently about issues and can detect trends and patterns with ease
