  • Maintain dashboards, monitoring, compliance reporting, and status updates for engineering, security, and compliance stakeholders.
  • Coordinate with partner teams to resolve exceptions, blockers, manual interventions, and environment-specific patching requirements.

What You'll Bring

  • Hands-on experience with PowerShell scripting and automation, including familiarity with PowerShell’s object-based pipeline and filtering methods such as Where-Object.
  • Hands-on experience using KQL to query and troubleshoot data in Kusto.
  • Working knowledge of Windows servicing and enterprise update methods, including Windows Update or Microsoft Update, WSUS, and manual MSU installation.
  • Strong troubleshooting skills related to Windows updates, patch installations, and deployment failures.
  • Ability to review relevant logs, investigate error codes, and determine appropriate next steps.
  • Experience identifying installed patches, packages, runtime versions, and operating system status using PowerShell, DISM, or equivalent tools.
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate with engineering, security, and compliance teams throughout an investigation.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with Azure DevOps build or deployment pipelines.
  • Experience with .NET tooling and identifying installed .NET Core runtimes.
  • Familiarity with Defender servicing and vulnerability scanning systems such as Qualys or AzSecPack.
  • Familiarity with mapping CVEs to patch or vulnerability remediation workflows.

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
