Role Description As Senior Windows Infrastructure Engineer, you are the technical anchor for the Windows estate that powers Gresham's managed services platform — a multi-client environment hosted on AWS. The work is grounded in deep Windows Server operations: - Active Directory - IIS - Hybrid identity - Group Policy - PowerShell - Certificate services - The wider Microsoft ecosystem AWS is the platform on which all of this runs. Comfort with the cloud layer matters and you will operate it daily, but it is the Microsoft stack — and its operational nuance — that defines this role. We hire for deep Windows expertise first; the cloud layer is something a strong sysadmin can absorb. The estate is Windows Server 2019 and above, end-to-end. Linux footprint is negligible — this is a role for someone who wants to go deep on the Microsoft stack rather than be spread thin across platforms. This is a 100% individual contributor role. You will not manage or lead a team. You will own complex incidents end-to-end, set technical standards by example, and act as the senior escalation point for the Cloud Support function. Qualifications - 7+ years operating Windows Server in production, with deep hands-on experience on Windows Server 2019 and above. - Active Directory at depth: forest/domain design, replication, FSMO roles, trusts, sites & services, schema, tombstone & recovery. - Group Policy at scale: design, troubleshooting (RSoP, gpresult), security baselines, WMI filtering. - IIS at depth: site & app pool configuration, ARR, URL Rewrite, SSL/TLS, failed request tracing, performance tuning. - DNS, DHCP, WSUS, and Active Directory Certificate Services (AD CS) — real operational experience. - Advanced PowerShell: scripting, modules, remoting, error handling, automation patterns, DSC familiarity. - Windows patching at scale: planning, deployment, rollback, and troubleshooting in regulated environments. - Windows performance troubleshooting: PerfMon, ETW, memory dump analysis, IIS request diagnostics. - Hybrid identity: AD on-prem ↔ cloud, Entra ID (Azure AD) Connect / federation, AD FS. - SAML 2.0, OIDC, OAuth 2.0, Kerberos, LDAP, MFA — practical implementation and troubleshooting. - Certificate management and PKI in enterprise Windows environments. - Day-to-day comfort operating Windows workloads in AWS: EC2, EBS, VPC, IAM, Route 53, CloudWatch. - AWS Systems Manager for Windows fleet management: Patch Manager, Session Manager, Run Command, State Manager, Parameter Store. - AWS Directory Service / Managed Microsoft AD / AD Connector. Requirements - Strong ITIL grounding: incident, problem, change, and service lifecycle management. - Prior experience in an MSP or shared-services environment — multiple client estates managed under SLA. - Advanced / fluent professional English, written and spoken. - Reliable, distraction-free home office with stable broadband (100 Mbps+ recommended), reliable power, and a professional video setup. - Ability to work New York-aligned hours consistently, with the same presence and responsiveness as an office-based colleague. Benefits - This role is 100% remote and 100% individual contributor. - You will operate aligned to New York business hours (08:30–17:30 ET). - Typical Brazil hours: 09:30–18:30 BRT during EDT (US summer) and 10:30–19:30 BRT during EST (US winter). - Quiet, ergonomic workspace with stable broadband (100 Mbps+ recommended), reliable power, and a professional video / audio setup. - Participation in a senior escalation rota for major incidents — compensated in line with policy.
