We are seeking a Systems Engineer to own patch management, configuration automation, and vulnerability remediation across our Linux and Windows server and endpoint fleets. This role combines Puppet/Ansible-based automation for Linux OS patching and configuration enforcement with SCCM/Intune-based endpoint management and PowerShell-driven remediation on Windows, ensuring systems across both platforms stay compliant, secure, and up to date with minimal manual intervention.
Requirements
Key Responsibilities — Linux (Puppet/Ansible)
Manage end-to-end patch lifecycle (assessment, testing, staged rollout, validation) across RHEL servers.
Develop, maintain, and version-control Puppet/Ansible modules and manifests for OS patching, software installation, and configuration enforcement.
Design staged/canary patch rollout groups to minimize production risk.
Automate software installation and configuration across environments to reduce manual provisioning.
Troubleshoot patch failures, configuration drift, and Puppet/Ansible run errors across the fleet.
Lead remediation of End-of-Life (EOL) / End-of-Support (EOS) operating systems and software — upgrading, re platforming, or migrating affected servers ahead of support cutoff dates.
Execute EOL remediation plans in coordination with infrastructure and application owners, escalating and documenting formal risk acceptance only where remediation isn't feasible within the required timeline.
Key Responsibilities — Windows (SCCM / Intune / PowerShell)
Manage and maintain endpoint security configurations using SCCM and Intune.
Develop and implement PowerShell scripts to automate vulnerability remediation, security tasks, and processes.
Create and manage imaging and task sequences in SCCM and Intune.
Package and deploy patches on Windows servers and workstations based on a monthly schedule.
Deploy collections in SCCM and push relevant missing patches to remediate vulnerabilities.
