Support VDI environments (e.g., AWS Workspaces), cloud-native tools, and identity integrations.
Create and maintain operational documentation and compliance artifacts for audits and reviews.
What You’ll Need:
3–6+ years of experience in VDI including platform, systems, or cloud infrastructure engineering with endpoint support, OS imaging, OS Patching, and device lifecycle management.
Experience managing VDI solutions, identity management systems (e.g., SAML, AD/LDAP), and network configuration.
Background in Linux administration, Windows, MacOS, and scripting (Python, Bash).

Experience with tools such as SCCM, JAMF, InTune, Workspace ONE, and with Group Policy.
Experience with device lifecycle management (MDM, patching, OS imaging, endpoint support).
Version control (e.g., Git), Agile methodologies, and ticketing systems (e.g., Jira, ServiceNow).
