Design, build, and maintain Windows 11 golden images/templates for AWS WorkSpaces
Package, install, and validate enterprise applications and security tools within base images
Define and execute image lifecycle processes (versioning, patching, testing, and release management)
Integrate images with Active Directory and enterprise identity services
Configure and manage Group Policy (GPOs) aligned to security and user experience requirements
Implement and validate MFA and SSO within the virtual desktop environment
Optimize images for performance, login times, stability, and resource usage
Apply security hardening standards (CIS benchmarks, enterprise policies)
Support automation for image deployment, updates, and maintenance
Partner with security, identity, and application teams to ensure compatibility and compliance

Required Skills & Experience

Strong hands-on expertise with Windows 11 OS deployment, configuration, and optimization
Proven experience creating and maintaining golden images in enterprise environments
Solid knowledge of Active Directory (GPOs, OU design, authentication flows)
Experience integrating MFA and identity services within Windows desktop environments
Application packaging and deployment experience (MSI, scripting, Intune, SCCM)
Experience managing OS patching and image lifecycle processes
Familiarity with profile management solutions (e.g., FSLogix)
Understanding of SSO integration with Microsoft 365, OneDrive, and SaaS applications
Hands-on experience with AWS WorkSpaces image customization and optimization

Preferred Qualifications

Experience with endpoint management platforms (Intune, SCCM, or similar)
PowerShell scripting or automation experience
Background supporting VDI environments (AWS WorkSpaces, Citrix, VMware Horizon, Nutanix)

What This Role Is (and Is Not)
? Deep image engineering and Windows platform ownership
? Enterprise security and identity integration focus
? Not a help desk or desktop support role
