Overview
Arganteal is looking for a hands-on Windows 365 and Windows OS engineer to support our client in a fast-moving deployment and migration effort. This is a hit-the-ground-running role for someone who can work independently, execute technical work directly, and deliver results without a long ramp-up period. Our client is specifically looking for a DevOps mindset, not a "click ops" administrator relying on manual GUI-based work.
What You'll Be Doing
* Engineer and deploy Windows 365 (Cloud PC) environments from the ground up * Lead or support migration of users from existing desktop environments into Windows 365 * Tune and harden Windows OS configurations for both security and performance * Approach deployment and configuration with automation and infrastructure-as-code principles where possible, rather than manual, click-through administration * Troubleshoot and resolve technical issues throughout the deployment and migration process * Work directly in deployment tools and consoles (Intune, Endpoint Manager, Azure/W365 admin center) to execute configuration and rollout personally, not just direct others * Partner with internal security and infrastructure teams to ensure deployments align with enterprise security standards * Document configurations, migration steps, and lessons learned for future reference
What We're Looking For
* Proven, hands-on experience engineering and deploying Windows 365 (Cloud PC) environments * Direct experience migrating users from traditional desktop or VDI environments into W365 * Strong background tuning Windows OS for both security hardening and performance optimization * DevOps mindset with experience in scripting, automation, and repeatable deployment processes, not reliant on manual console based administration * Experience with Microsoft Intune, Endpoint Manager, and Azure/M365 administration * Track record of delivering technical projects independently and on schedule * High sense of ownership and responsibility, comfortable being the go-to technical resource on this initiative * Detail oriented, with strong documentation and troubleshooting habits * Ability to start immediately and move quickly with minimal onboarding time * Mid to senior level experience, exact level flexible depending on the strength of the individual candidate
