Special Factors

## Description

As our Workplace platforms continue to modernize and scale, we are looking for a Windows Endpoint Automation Engineer to strengthen how we deliver change across our Windows endpoint estate. This role focuses on building automation, standardizing endpoint engineering practices, and improving release validation and deployment quality across technologies such as Microsoft Intune, SCCM/MECM, and Windows Autopilot. The ideal candidate brings strong Windows platform engineering experience, practical automation skills, and a passion for automation-first, reliable operations. Vanguard follows a hybrid scheduled which includes Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursdays onsite.

Core Responsibilities:

 * Lead endpoint automation for provisioning, compliance, remediation, and standard configuration across the Windows fleet.

 * Engineer and modernize deployment workflows using Microsoft Intune, SCCM/MECM, and Windows Autopilot, with a focus on repeatability, safety, and scale.

 * Build reusable PowerShell-based frameworks (and supporting tooling) for device configuration, drift detection, self-healing remediation, and operational consistency.

 * Define and evolve Windows endpoint standards including OS baseline configuration, security baselines, and lifecycle practices aligned with enterprise requirements.

 * Partner with QA and release governance to improve validation practices for patches, feature updates, policy changes, security configuration, and application rollouts.

 * Implement and expand CI/CD practices for endpoint engineering content (scripts, configuration, packaging, policy-as-code where applicable), using Git-based workflows, reviews, and promotion patterns.

 * Integrate with identity and security platforms (e.g., Microsoft Entra ID) to support secure provisioning, access, and device compliance patterns.

 * Reduce operational toil and improve reliability by automating routine work, codifying repeatable runbooks, and improving observability and troubleshooting signals.

 * Collaborate across Workplace Engineering (Windows, VDI, macOS/mobility, Digital Workplace) to standardize engineering patterns and share automation approaches.
