• Oversee Intune endpoint management, including device compliance, configuration policies, and security baselines.
• Collaborate with Security, Applications, and Data teams to ensure end-to-end solution integrity and compliance.
• Provide hands-on technical leadership, including architecture design, proof-of-concepts, and implementation oversight.
• Mentor team members and contribute to building a high-performing infrastructure and operations organization. 

• 8+ years of progressive experience in IT infrastructure roles, with at least 3 years in an architecture or senior engineering capacity.
• Proven expertise in AWS architecture, design, and operations (AWS Solutions Architect Professional certification strongly preferred).
• Strong background in enterprise networking (firewalls, VPN, routing, switching, hybrid/cloud connectivity, SD-WAN).
• Experience integrating on-premises data sources and lab environments with cloud platforms.
• Solid knowledge of Azure and Entra ID hybrid identity management, including Conditional Access, authentication, and governance.
• Hands-on experience with Intune for endpoint compliance, configuration, and security.
