You will work in a Build & Run model, combining project-driven engineering with structural platform ownership. This is not a purely operational role: you will actively contribute to modernization initiatives, automation, and standardization across our environment.
You will be part of our global Infrastructure Build & Run team, collaborating closely with colleagues across regions in a complex, enterprise-scale environment.
Key Responsibilities
* Design, implement, and maintain Citrix-based workplace solutions (CVAD / NetScaler/ related components).

* Drive automation and Infrastructure as Code initiatives to reduce manual operations.
* Implement changes in line with formal change and release management processes.
* Provide advanced 3rd line support for complex and cross-domain incidents.
* Act as a technical owner for assigned platforms and services.
* Create and maintain technical documentation, standards, and operational procedures.
* Collaborate with global teams and actively share knowledge and best practices.

* Citrix (core expertise – required)
* NetScaler (hands-on experience – required)
* PowerShell (automation and operational tooling)
* Microsoft SCCM (strong plus)
* Windows Client & Windows Printing
* Microsoft Azure (Modern Workplace and supporting services)
Your Profile
* Senior-level experience as a System Engineer or Modern Workplace Engineer.

* Experience with IaC / Terraform is an advantage.
* Comfortable working with structured change, release, and incident processes.
* Proactive, hands-on, and solution-oriented mindset.
* Able to work independently while collaborating in global teams.
