TL;DR · Windows Systems Automation Engineer

The Windows Systems Automation Engineer joins a team to engineer Windows Server and workstation capabilities for isolated, cloud-based cyber ranges. This role involves automating Active Directory, DNS, Group Policy, domain joins, security hardening, software installation, and patching to support Department of Defense missions. You will build reusable deployment components, bootstrap scripts, and automated machine-image pipelines while integrating systems with cloud services for identity, secrets management, logging, and monitoring. Key technologies include PowerShell, AWS CDK, CloudFormation, and Terraform. You will apply STIGs and NIST SP 800-53 controls to remediate vulnerabilities and ensure environments can be securely deployed and removed without manual configuration. Core responsibilities include troubleshooting complex authentication and networking issues while maintaining technical documentation and configuration standards for disposable cloud infrastructure.

What you'll do

  • Automate Windows Server and workstation deployments using infrastructure-as-code tools like AWS CDK, CloudFormation, or Terraform.
  • Design and maintain Active Directory, DNS, Group Policy, and identity services for isolated range environments.
  • Develop advanced PowerShell scripts for provisioning, domain joins, configuration management, and security auditing.
  • Build and maintain reusable Windows machine images through automated image pipelines.
  • Apply STIGs and other security-hardening standards to Windows servers and endpoints.
  • Automate patching, vulnerability remediation, inventory, and compliance reporting.
  • Integrate Windows systems with secrets management, logging, monitoring, and remote-management services.
  • Develop automated tests and deployment validation to identify configuration issues before release.

What we're looking for

  • 6+ years of experience administering or engineering Windows Server environments.
  • 2+ years of experience supporting a U.S. Government or federal environment.
  • Experience with Active Directory, DNS, Group Policy, and automated domain provisioning.
  • Experience developing PowerShell automation for infrastructure deployment, configuration, and security auditing.
  • Experience with infrastructure-as-code tools such as AWS CDK, CloudFormation, or Terraform.
  • Experience using Git and CI/CD pipelines to manage and deploy infrastructure changes.
  • HS diploma or GED.
  • DoD 8570/8140 IAT Level II-compliant certification, such as Security+, CySA+, or GSEC.
