StaffRight Associates is seeking a visionary Senior Citrix Engineer to spearhead a massive enterprise cloud transformation.

  • Advanced Tooling: Implement and manage Citrix Cloud services, including uberAgent, App Protection, and Citrix Device Trust.

  • Automation & Optimization: Develop automated workflows for provisioning and lifecycle management; create performance dashboards using Microsoft Graph API and Power BI.

  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with Networking, Security, and Identity teams to ensure seamless integration with Entra ID and Azure virtual networking.

  • Mentorship: Act as a technical beacon for the engineering team, providing code/design reviews and coaching junior staff.

  • Operational Support: Provide senior-tier escalation support for the existing on-premises environment during the transition phase.


Candidate Profile

Required Qualifications:

  • Experience: At least 8 years in systems design, infrastructure engineering, or architecture.

  • Azure Mastery: Proven track record of leading on-premises to Azure migrations, specifically regarding virtual networking, hybrid connectivity, and security.

  • Citrix Expertise: Deep hands-on knowledge of Citrix DaaS and Citrix Cloud services in an enterprise setting.

  • Migration Success: Demonstrated ability to move large user populations (thousands of seats) across complex environments.

  • Technical Breadth: Strong grasp of Infrastructure Lifecycle Management, ITSM, and virtualization best practices.

Preferred Assets:

  • Education: Bachelor s degree in Computer Science or a related engineering field.

  • Industry Background: Previous experience navigating the regulatory requirements of the Financial Services sector.
