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
