    Insight Global (Washington, DC)


    Job Description

    Systems Administrator/Scripting Engineer to manage the

     

    installation, configuration, monitoring, and patching of applications in a Windows environment. The initial

     

    objective of this position is to ensure that all applications software packages are sufficiently patched to

     

    remove any vulnerabilities to the environment. In addition, and equally important, is to utilize PowerShell

     

    scripting to automate patch management and verification, manage and maintain scheduled tasks, extract

     

    logs, validate configurations, and streamline compliance reporting and Active Directory management

     

    tasks.

     

    The ideal candidate will have expertise in command line scripting (PowerShell), Windows Server, Active

     

    Directory, SSO (Single Sign-On), ADFS (Active Directory Federation Services). While this role does not

     

    involve direct server administration, experience managing Windows Server and Active Directory is

     

    essential. Experience with Azure cloud services and containerization technologies (Docker/Kubernetes) is

     

    also required.

     

    This position will eventually transition to a DevOps engineer role and as such the experience to support

     

    that role is listed under the preferred skills section below.
