  • Design virtualization strategies (Hyper-V, VMware) and storage configurations for Windows workloads.
  • Plan high-availability, disaster recovery, and backup solutions for Windows systems.

 

Implementation & Standards

  • Establish standards for Windows Server (2019/2022/2025) and Windows 10/11 deployment (imaging, Autopilot, MDM).

  • Define monitoring, patching, and update strategies (Windows Update for Business, WSUS, Azure Update Manager).
  • Perform proof of concepts (POC) and proof of architecture (POA) with various hardware and software vendors to pick-up the best solution. 

Security & Compliance

  • Embed security best practices (Zero Trust, least privilege, LAPS, Credential Guard).
  • Design RBAC models, tiered administration, and privileged access workstations (PAWs).
  • Ensure compliance with industry standards (SOC2, ISO 27001, NIST) through audit-ready Windows configurations.
  • Collaborate with security teams on endpoint detection, logging (Sentinel/SIEM), and vulnerability management.

Collaboration & Leadership

  • Partner with network, storage, and security architects to ensure interoperability.
  • Translate business requirements into technical specifications and architecture diagrams.
  • Mentor system administrators and lead technical review sessions.
  • Evaluate emerging Microsoft technologies and provide build vs. buy recommendations.

 

What Makes You A Strong Fit

  • 8+ years in systems engineering/administration focused on Microsoft technologies.
  • Deep expertise in Active Directory design (multiple domains/forests, sites, replication, schema management).
  • Strong knowledge of Windows Server core components (Failover Clustering, File Server, Storage Spaces Direct).
  • Experience designing hybrid identities (Entra ID Connect, federation, SSO, MFA, Conditional Access).
  • Proficiency with PowerShell scripting for automation and configuration management.
  • Hands-on experience with virtualization (Hyper-V, VMware vSphere) and SAN/NAS storage integration.
  • Solid understanding of networking (TCP/IP, DNS, load balancing, firewalls) as it relates to Windows environments.

 

Bonus Points if You Have

  • Certifications: MCSE (Core Infrastructure) , Windows Server Hybrid Administrator Associate, Azure Solutions Architect Expert, or Identity and Access Administrator Associate.
  • Experience with Azure IaaS (VMs, Scale Sets, Managed Disks, Azure Files) and Azure ARC.

  • Exposure to Linux systems (basic administration or interoperability).
  • Analytical problem-solver with systematic thinking.
  • Excellent documentation and diagramming abilities (Visio, Lucidchart, Draw.io).
  • Strong communication skills – able to explain complex infrastructure to non-technical leaders.
  • Ability to lead crisis troubleshooting efforts and root cause analysis.
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced environment under high stress with consistency and accuracy.
