Senior Infrastructure Engineer (Windows

Servers, & Tooling)

About the Role

We’re looking for a Senior Infrastructure Engineer who thrives at the intersection of Windows systems,

and tooling, someone who wants to build, scale, and optimize Windows Server images and custom tools for a highly distributed Azure environment.

If you love digging deep into Windows internals, automating everything, and building next-gen imaging and build pipelines to keep complex Azure infrastructure healthy and compliant, this role is for you.

Key Responsibilities

 Design, build, and maintain standardized Windows Server images for Azure, ensuring compliance, security, and operational readiness across the enterprise.

 Develop custom tools and automation scripts (PowerShell, Azure CLI) to streamline image creation, configuration, and lifecycle management.

 Integrate and optimize observability frameworks within images, including Azure Monitor, Log

Analytics, and support for third-party tools (e.g., Prometheus exporters for Windows, Grafana dashboards via Azure Monitor).

 Build self-healing and auto-remediation capabilities into images using Azure Automation, Desired

State Configuration (DSC), and custom scripts.

 Collaborate with SRE, Platform, and DevOps teams to evolve imaging, monitoring, and deployment strategies.

 Continuously evaluate and adopt new open-source or Azure-native tools to keep images current and aligned with industry best practices.
