Description

Overview

Position Summary

The Endpoint Systems Engineer owns endpoint device management and security across JDA TSG's Windows and MacOS environment. This role is central to the company's SOC 2 compliance program and plays a key part in strengthening how JDA manages its Microsoft 365 environment.

This is a hands-on role covering device enrollment, configuration, patching, and vulnerability remediation, along with working knowledge of Microsoft 365 and Entra ID that adds depth to JDA's broader cloud environment.

Because this is a newly created role, you will help define how JDA manages and secures its endpoint fleet as the company scales, working directly with IT leadership and the SOC 2 compliance program.

Why You'll Love This Role

• Own a security-critical function from day one, with influence over how JDA manages and protects its device fleet.
• Play a direct role in JDA's SOC 2 compliance program, not just support it from the sidelines.
• Build working knowledge of Microsoft 365 and Entra ID that extends your impact across JDA's broader cloud environment.
• Work closely with IT leadership on policy, standards, and strategic direction, not only day-to-day tickets.

You'll Own Endpoint Security & Compliance

• Maintain compliance evidence in the GRC platform for endpoint related controls, supporting audits.
• Design and enforce device configuration standards and security baselines.
• Identify and remediate device vulnerabilities through scripting and application deployment in Intune.
• Maintain working knowledge of Microsoft 365 and Entra ID as they intersect with device and identity management.

Device Lifecycle & Vulnerability Management

• Manage the Windows and macOS device lifecycle: enrollment, provisioning, and configuration through Intune and Autopilot.
• Roll out configuration changes and adapt device policy as SOC 2 requirements and business needs evolve.
• Test and validate configuration changes before wider rollout.

Success Measures

• Endpoint related SOC 2 controls pass audit with minimal findings.
• Reduced device vulnerabilities and faster time to remediation across the fleet.
• Device configuration standards are documented, enforced, and consistently maintained across the environment.

What You'll Bring

• 5+ years of experience in endpoint or device management in an enterprise environment, supporting both Windows and macOS.
• Hands-on experience with Microsoft Intune and Autopilot.
• Working knowledge of Microsoft 365 and Entra ID.
• Experience supporting a SOC 2 or similar compliance framework, ideally with a GRC platform like Vanta.
• Scripting experience, PowerShell preferred, for vulnerability remediation and application deployment.

• Background in vulnerability management.
• Experience with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint and/or Defender for Cloud Apps.
• Familiarity with structured change management processes.

• Healthcare – Comprehensive coverage for you and your family
• Employee Assistance Program – Get support when you or your family need it with counseling and coaching
• 401K with company match
