Summary
Job title: Senior Endpoint Automation Engineer
Location: REMOTE
Location: REMOTE
Position Overview:
We are seeking an experienced Senior Endpoint Automation Engineer for a six-month contract engagement focused on improving endpoint management health, vulnerability patching, and operational automation across enterprise Windows and macOS environments.
This is a highly hands-on engineering position designed to address persistent operational challenges through root-cause analysis, advanced scripting, data correlation, and automated remediation.
The successful candidate will work across Microsoft Intune, Iru/Kandji, Tenable, CrowdStrike, and related platforms to identify why endpoints fall out of management, diagnose patching failures, reconcile inconsistent compliance data, and implement automated solutions that prevent issues from recurring.
This is not a traditional endpoint administration, support, or architecture role. We are looking for an engineer who can investigate complex issues, build effective automation, and deliver measurable operational improvements.

The Ideal Candidate:
You are a hands-on endpoint engineer who enjoys solving complex technical problems and eliminating them through automation. You don't simply report what a dashboard says. You investigate the underlying data, identify why something is failing, and develop solutions that prevent it from happening again.
You are equally comfortable troubleshooting Windows and macOS management issues, writing scripts, integrating APIs, and validating information across multiple security and management platforms.
Most importantly, you are a builder and problem solver who measures success by the issues permanently resolved and the manual work eliminated.
