About the role

As a Senior Azure Virtual Desktop Engineer, you will make an impact by designing, deploying, automating, and optimizing Azure Virtual Desktop environments that support both pooled multi-user and personal dedicated desktop experiences.

Configure and maintain Azure infrastructure components including Resource Groups, VNets, Subnets, Host Pools, Workspaces, Application Groups, and Session Hosts.
Design and manage pooled (multi-user) and personal (dedicated) desktop environments, aligning deployment models with business and technical requirements.
Administer user assignments, application group access, and host pool allocations to ensure an optimal end-user experience.
Monitor and optimize AVD consumption costs through rightsizing, scaling strategies, deallocation schedules, and monthly cost reviews.
Develop automation solutions for provisioning, image management, autoscaling, patching, and decommissioning using PowerShell, Azure CLI, and Infrastructure-as-Code.
Collaborate with identity, networking, security, and endpoint management teams to ensure seamless integration with enterprise platforms.
Maintain technical documentation, architecture diagrams, operational procedures, and support runbooks.

What you need to have to be considered

5+ years of hands-on experience designing, deploying, and supporting Azure Virtual Desktop environments.
Strong expertise in Azure Virtual Desktop architecture, including Host Pools, Workspaces, Application Groups, Session Hosts, and user assignment models.
Strong understanding of Azure infrastructure services, including Resource Groups, VNets, Subnets, NSGs, and network security principles.
Experience optimizing AVD environments for performance, scalability, and cost efficiency.
Hands-on experience with PowerShell, Azure CLI, Azure Automation, and Infrastructure-as-Code tools such as Terraform, Bicep, or ARM templates.
Experience managing the full virtual desktop lifecycle, including provisioning, image management, autoscaling, patching, and decommissioning.

These will help you stand out

Experience with Microsoft Entra ID, including device identity, Conditional Access, SSO, and MFA integration for AVD.
Experience managing AVD session hosts through Microsoft Intune, including Company Portal deployments and Windows Update management.
Knowledge of FSLogix profile containers for multi-user environments.

Familiarity with Microsoft 365 Apps optimization for Azure Virtual Desktop environments.
Experience with BitLocker, Azure Bastion, BeyondTrust, and secure administrative access solutions.
Microsoft Certified: Azure Virtual Desktop Specialty (AZ-140) and/or Microsoft Certified: Azure Administrator Associate (AZ-104).
