Develop and deliver tooling to support helpdesk operations (e.g., PowerShell scripts for ticket resolution)
Migrate mailboxes and users from legacy systems into the new environment
Coordinate with infrastructure teams—covering identity management, networking, and endpoint operations
Integrate monitoring systems with platforms like Splunk to ensure proactive system health checks
Contribute to continuous service improvement through technical advice and solution proposals
Collaborate in Agile planning, daily stand-ups, and the Change Advisory Board (CAB)

Technical Environment

Exchange 2016 (Hybrid) currently in production with 25,000+ mailboxes
Migration and setup of Exchange 2019 (Hybrid) environment in progress
Hosted on Cisco UCS hardware within a government-owned data center
Monitoring via Splunk, automation via PowerShell DSC
Interfaces with M365 for Teams, Outlook, and related services

What We’re Looking For

Strong background in Microsoft Exchange (2016 and/or 2019) in enterprise or public-sector environments
Proficiency in PowerShell scripting and automation (especially DSC)
Experience with Microsoft 365, particularly backend support for Teams and Outlook
Familiarity with hybrid identity and authentication models (e.g., AAD Connect, SSO)
Comfortable working in Agile teams and participating in planning and change processes
Prior exposure to monitoring tools such as Splunk is a plus
Broader knowledge of Windows Server ecosystems and infrastructure management

Why Apply?

Opportunity to play a critical role in modernizing a large-scale, national infrastructure platform
Work in a collaborative, DevOps-oriented team committed to operational excellence
Hybrid working flexibility with a clear balance between innovation and stability
Influence the design and evolution of a critical messaging environment with impact at scale
