Windows Client Engineer Endpoint & Vulnerability Remediation
Overview
We're looking for a Windows Client Engineer to manage and modernize our Windows endpoint estate through Microsoft Intune and SCCM (Configuration Manager), with a primary focus on driving down vulnerability risk. This is a hands-on engineering role: you'll partner closely with our security team to review findings from Tenable, translate them into deployable fixes, and build the packages, scripts, and configuration baselines that remediate them at scale.
What you'll do
Review outstanding vulnerabilities identified by Tenable (Tenable.io / Nessus / Tenable Security Center) and own the endpoint-side remediation workflow from finding to closure.
Build, test, and deploy remediation packages and solutions using Intune and SCCM application updates, patches, registry and configuration changes, and scripted fixes.
Author and maintain remediation scripts (PowerShell), including detection and remediation logic for Intune proactive remediations and SCCM configuration items.
Package and deploy third-party application updates that fall outside standard Microsoft patching (e.g., via Win32 apps in Intune, application deployments in SCCM, or a patching tool like PatchMyPC).
Manage Windows Update policy through Windows Update for Business / WSUS / SCCM software update groups, and ensure patch compliance reporting is accurate.
Partner with the security/vulnerability management team to triage findings, validate that deployed fixes actually clear the vulnerability, and provide feedback on false positives.
Track remediation progress and report on compliance, patch coverage, and outstanding risk against SLAs.
Maintain configuration baselines and security hardening (e.g., CIS/DISA STIG alignment) across the Windows client fleet.
Support co-management, device onboarding, compliance policies, and conditional access as part of the broader Intune/SCCM environment.
Document remediation procedures and contribute to a repeatable, well-tested deployment process to avoid breaking production.
What you'll Bring
35 years of experience engineering and administering Windows endpoints in an enterprise environment.
Hands-on experience with both Microsoft Intune and SCCM/Configuration Manager, including application packaging and deployment.
Strong PowerShell scripting skills for automation, detection, and remediation.
Experience with Windows patch management (Windows Update for Business, WSUS, or SCCM software updates).
Familiarity with vulnerability management concepts and tooling Tenable experience strongly preferred; comparable tools (Qualys, Rapid7) also relevant.
Understanding of CVEs, CVSS scoring, and how vulnerability findings map to real remediation actions.
Solid grasp of Windows OS internals, Active Directory, Group Policy, and Entra ID (Azure AD).
Ability to test changes carefully and roll out fixes without disrupting end users.
Nice to have
Experience with application packaging tools (PSADT, PatchMyPC) and MSI/MSIX.
Exposure to Microsoft Defender for Endpoint and its vulnerability management (TVM) integration.
Knowledge of security hardening frameworks (CIS Benchmarks, DISA STIGs).
Relevant certifications (Microsoft MD-102, SC-200, or CompTIA Security%2B).
