Job Specifications

Cloud Operations Engineer - Active Directory (Tier-0)

Remote (West Coast US, Onshore Only)

We’re seeking a Cloud Operations Engineer with deep, hands-on ownership of Active Directory to support business-critical (Tier-0) identity infrastructure. This role is Active Directory-first, with AWS and automation as supporting skills.

What You’ll Do

Own and operate enterprise Active Directory environments (Tier-0 / P0-P1 critical)
Build, patch, validate, and decommission Domain Controllers (on-prem & cloud)
Provide 3rd-level support for AD and Windows Server during critical incidents
Troubleshoot using AD-native tools (ADUC, Event Viewer, repadmin, dcdiag, nltest)
Design and maintain AD-specific monitoring & alerting (auth failures, replication, SYSVOL/NETLOGON)
Automate AD tasks safely using Ansible & PowerShell (with pre/post checks & rollback)
Support hybrid cloud infrastructure and tooling in AWS

Required (Non-Negotiable)

Hands-on ownership of Active Directory (not just integrations)
Strong experience with AWS, Active Directory, and Ansible
Deep Windows Server troubleshooting experience
Scripting with PowerShell, Python, or similar
Experience supporting production, enterprise-scale AD environments
Comfortable working in Agile teams

Nice to Have

Large-scale AD environments (45k+ users, multi-forest)
GPOs, DNS, DHCP, PKI/SSL, Trusts, Sites & Services
Windows Server 2008-2019 internals
Exposure to AI/automation in infrastructure operations

Not a DevOps-only role. This is a hands-on AD & Windows operations position.
