Your Role at HFM:

As a Senior Windows Core DevOps Engineer, you will lead the design, automation, and operations of core infrastructure services built around the Microsoft ecosystem. This is a senior-level engineering role focused on modernizing Windows-based systems, introducing infrastructure as code across Windows workloads, and ensuring scalable, secure, and resilient infrastructure across our stack.

You will:

• Architect and automate core Windows infrastructure (AD, DNS, DHCP, Group Policy, IIS, Windows Clustering, etc.) in a high-availability trading environment.
• Lead projects to refactor and modernize legacy Windows-based systems, transitioning them into fully automated, testable, and observable components.
• Drive adoption of Infrastructure-as-Code and CI/CD workflows using modern Microsoft-native and cross-platform tooling.
• Troubleshoot and optimize system performance at the OS, networking, and application level across a large fleet of Windows servers.
• Define and implement secure baselines, monitoring, patching, and compliance across Windows infrastructure.
• Build PowerShell modules, DSC configurations, and leverage tools like Ansible, SaltStack, or Terraform with Windows providers to unify automation.
• Act as the highest escalation point for Windows-related production issues.
• Partner with other Core DevOps, Security, SRE, and Cloud teams to standardize and scale our Windows platform.
• Mentor engineers across teams and promote best practices in observability, resilience, and automation-first thinking.

What You Bring:

• 8+ years of experience with enterprise-level Windows Server engineering and DevOps practices.
• Deep expertise with DNS, DFS, IIS, and Windows Failover Clustering.
• Solid experience with automation and configuration management using PowerShell (advanced scripting), Desired State Configuration (DSC), and/or Ansible/SaltStack for Windows.
• Strong understanding of CI/CD concepts applied to Windows environments using GitLab, Azure DevOps, or similar tools.
• Hands-on experience integrating Windows infrastructure with hybrid or cloud-native solutions (preferably AWS).
• Experience with infrastructure provisioning tools like Terraform (including Windows modules) or CDK.
• Strong grasp of Windows performance tuning, debugging, event log analysis, and patching strategy at scale.
• Background in regulated or high-uptime environments such as banking, Forex, or fintech is highly preferred.
• Familiarity with SQL Server automation, .NET Core deployments, and Windows Containers is a plus.
• Comfortable leading incident response and system-level post-mortems for Windows-based production outages.
