Lead Engineer for Windows Automation
Budget: $8 – $15 USD
We are seeking a high-caliber, hands-on Engineer to lead the development of production-grade automation within the Windows ecosystem. This is a pure implementation role designed for a specialist who excels at translating complex functional logic into stable, scalable, and maintainable PowerShell scripts.
You will be responsible for the "last mile" of development—ensuring that automation isn't just functional, but resilient enough for diverse enterprise environments.
Key Responsibilities
Production-Grade Development: Build and maintain robust PowerShell automation with a heavy emphasis on advanced error handling, structured logging, and modular execution flow.
Windows Systems Integration: Deep-dive into Windows internals to manage and manipulate the Registry, File System, ACLs, Services, and Task Scheduler.
UI & Tooling: Design and implement functional administrative interfaces using PowerShell Windows Forms (WinForms).
API Connectivity: Seamlessly integrate scripts with external REST APIs, managing JSON serialization, custom headers, authentication protocols, and response parsing.
Stability & Testing: Debug and stabilize automation across various Windows builds to ensure consistent behavior in heterogeneous environments.
Logic Translation: Convert defined product logic and business requirements into clean, readable, and highly reliable code.
Technical Requirements
Expert-Level PowerShell: Proven experience in real-world automation beyond simple Task Automation; you should be comfortable with advanced functions and script architecture.
Windows Internals: A strong understanding of how Windows operates under the hood (Registry, permissions, and system services).
API Proficiency: Solid experience handling RESTful services and web requests via PowerShell.
Security & Identity: Good familiarity with Active Directory, Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD), and Microsoft Intune management concepts.
Troubleshooting: Exceptional debugging skills and the ability to identify edge cases in script execution.
The Ideal Candidate
You are a self-directed engineer who doesn't just "write scripts" but builds software solutions using PowerShell. You understand that "done" means the code is tested, documented, and resilient enough to handle unexpected system states without supervision.
Work Model
Format: Remote / Hybrid.
Collaboration: You will work closely with the Product Owner for logic guidance and validation while maintaining full ownership of the technical output.
Job Types: Full-time, Part-time, Freelance
Work Location: Remote
