To explore and learn more,  ! Your greatest work is ahead! We are seeking a senior-level automation engineer to design and build fully automated Windows-based enterprise environments using Infrastructure as Code principles.

This role operates within a highly controlled, air-gapped enterprise environment and requires proven experience engineering and automating systems in isolated networks with no direct internet connectivity. The position is responsible for eliminating manual server builds and delivering repeatable, configuration-driven domain deployments across multiple environments. You will collaborate closely with senior-level Windows and Nutanix systems engineers within an established enterprise platform to modernize and standardize infrastructure delivery inside a secure, disconnected architecture.

This is not a traditional system administration position. We are seeking a builder—someone who replaces manual processes with code, designs repeatable infrastructure patterns, and thinks in terms of declarative configuration rather than server-by-server management, specifically within constrained and isolated environments. Are you ready to make an impact? Begin your journey of a flourishing and meaningful career, share your resume with us today!
