Senior Engineer - Windows Platform

Position Overview

This is a hands-on engineering role, not an operations role. The engineer will develop repeatable platform standards, automate manual processes, improve observability and recovery capabilities, support hybrid-cloud modernization, and serve as a technical escalation point for complex infrastructure issues in a 24x7 retail environment.

The role partners closely with security, network, cloud, application, database, endpoint, and operations teams to ensure Burlington’s Microsoft ecosystem remains secure, performant, scalable, supportable, and aligned to business needs. The role also provides technical direction and delivery coordination across internal teams and managed services partners (including offshore technical resources) to ensure handoffs, escalations, service quality, and platform outcomes remain aligned to operational standards and business priorities.
