## Description

We are seeking a highly skilled, hands-on Windows Engineer to support a large-scale modernization of the organization's Windows server environment. This person will focus on engineering, upgrading, and standardizing Windows platforms rather than routine system administration.

The environment includes legacy Windows Server 2008 and 2012 systems, virtualization platforms, aging hardware, and workloads that may be migrated to AWS or repurposed from Linux to Windows. The ideal candidate will bring advanced Windows engineering, virtualization, and automation experience and be comfortable working within an environment where multiple infrastructure initiatives are moving simultaneously.

This is initially a six-month engagement with the potential for longer-term work supporting and administering the modernized environment.
