Specific Job Functions

Endpoint Vulnerability Management (Enterprise Scale)

• Operate and mature the endpoint vulnerability lifecycle: discovery → prioritization → remediation → validation → reporting.
• Perform vulnerability identification and prioritization using Qualys and or other security agents, including (but not limited to) Microsoft Security Updates and major 3rd‑party applications (e.g., Chrome, Edge, legacy dependencies where applicable).
• Drive risk‑based remediation workflows aligned to business impact, exploitability, and fleet exposure.
• Validate remediation efficacy and ensure vulnerability closure is auditable and reproducible.

Secure Baseline Configuration (SBC) & Compliance (Windows 11 + VDI)

• Own Secure Baseline Configuration compliance outcomes for Windows 11 across physical devices and VDI.
• Detect and correct compliance drift; build governance routines to prevent recurring deviation.
• Translate policy intent into enforceable configuration standards and operational guardrails.

Problem Management (Root Cause + Corrective Actions)

• Lead or co‑lead root cause analysis for recurring endpoint issues and systemic remediation failures.
• Develop long‑term corrective actions, workarounds, and knowledge artifacts that reduce repeat incidents.
• Align problem practices to Digital Workplace Problem Management goals, templates/artifacts, tooling/automation, and metrics.

Configuration Management & Deployment Enablement (SCCM / MECM)

• Leverage Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager (SCCM/MECM) to support remediation delivery at scale (packages, deployments, compliance baselines, reporting).
• Troubleshoot deployment failures and endpoint state issues impacting remediation timelines.
• Partner with endpoint engineering and operations teams to harden delivery pipelines and reduce rework.

Automation & Engineering Enablement (PowerShell + Workflows)

• Create and maintain PowerShell automation to reduce manual effort, accelerate remediation, and improve consistency.
• Build automation patterns for detection, enforcement, validation, and reporting (including safe failure handling and rollback considerations).
• Integrate automation into operational workflows (e.g., Service Management processes) to increase throughput and reduce friction.

Data, Reporting, and Decision Support (Databases)

• Use SQL and relational database concepts to support remediation tracking, compliance analytics, trend analysis, and operational reporting.
• Define data‑quality expectations (integrity, lineage, reproducibility) and produce metrics that support governance and executive visibility.
• Translate raw findings into actionable insights for stakeholders.

Documentation, Communication, and Governance

• Produce clear, structured documentation (standards, runbooks, decision records, remediation guides) suitable for audit and cross‑team reuse.
• Communicate tradeoffs, constraints, edge cases, and operational impacts with precision and transparency.
• Maintain a forward‑looking view of risk exposure, compliance drift, and control sustainability.

Qualifications

Required Qualifications

1. Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or related field.
2. Minimum of 3 years of professional experience in infrastructure engineering.
3. Understanding of enterprise infrastructure technologies including cloud, network, database, storage, platform, computing, and middleware.

Preferred Qualifications

1. Bachelor’s degree and six years of experience or an equivalent combination of education and work experience.
2. Banking or financial services experience.
3. Experience in VDI environments and their unique compliance/remediation constraints.
4. Familiarity with endpoint configuration governance methods (e.g., baselines, policy‑as‑code concepts, drift monitoring).
5. Experience integrating security remediation with service management tooling and workflows.
6. ITIL / Problem Management background and comfort operating within structured ITSM practices.
7. Security or endpoint‑focused certifications (examples: Security+, vendor tooling certs, or equivalent experience).
8. Security‑first mindset with strong attention to data integrity and reproducibility.
9. Structured communication: crisp problem statements, explicit decision logic, and documented tradeoffs.
10. Anticipates edge cases, failure modes, and operational constraints (bandwidth, maintenance windows, change risk).
11. Designs solutions for scale and sustainability, not one‑off fixes.
12. Automation and prevention focused, aligned to the Digital Workplace direction.
