The goal is to finish our Microsoft Intune implementation, move existing devices over to Intune management and bring the device management functions of our current RMM tool into Intune. Optics11 is a precision fibre optic sensing company in the Netherlands, and we work with a mixed Windows, macOS and Linux environment. You will extend and complete Intune management across all three platforms.\nYou will work alongside the IT team and report to the IT & Security Manager. The role focuses on endpoints; network and server infrastructure are out of scope.\nResponsibilities\nIn short: every device managed by Intune, secured to CIS baselines and documented, so day-to-day device management no longer depends on the RMM.\nFinish the Intune setup on all three platforms.\n\nWindows: complete and harden the setup, including configuration and compliance policies, Autopilot profiles and the Enrollment Status Page, update rings and app packaging (Win32/MSIX).\n\nmacOS: enrollment through Apple Business Manager, configuration and compliance profiles, FileVault and app deployment.\n\nLinux: enrollment and compliance policies for supported distributions, with scripted configuration where Intune falls short.\n\n2. Implement CIS baselines. Translate the CIS Benchmarks for Windows, macOS and Linux into Intune configuration policies and scripts. Pilot first, handle exceptions and record every deviation with its rationale.\n3. Migrate current installs to Intune management. Inventory existing devices, choose a migration path per platform (re-enrollment, Autopilot registration or rebuild), run pilots and migrate in waves with minimal disruption for users.\n4. Move RMM device management to Intune. List everything the RMM does today and rebuild its management functions in Intune: software deployment, scripts, patching, configuration and remote support, or an agreed alternative where Intune falls short. Document clearly which functions remain in the RMM and why.\n5. Deliver a full documentation set. Device baselines per platform, CIS implementation and exceptions register, enrollment and migration runbooks, app packaging guide, script repository with usage notes, and device procedures for joiners, movers and leavers.\n6. Transfer knowledge. Hand over so the internal team can run and change the setup independently.\nRequirements\nMust have\nA VOG (Verklaring Omtrent het Gedrag) with the military/defence screening profile.\n\nStrong hands-on knowledge of Windows, macOS and Linux endpoints. You are comfortable supporting and configuring all three.\n\nProduction experience with Microsoft Intune: configuration profiles, settings catalog, compliance policies and app deployment.\n\nProven experience implementing CIS Benchmarks or other security baselines through configuration policies, including pilots and exception handling.\n\nWindows Autopilot and the Enrollment Status Page in production.\n\nmacOS management in Intune with Apple Business Manager (enrollment, configuration profiles, FileVault).\n\nExperience migrating devices from an existing management setup (RMM, on-premises or co-management) to Intune.\n\nProficient in PowerShell and Bash: writing, testing and maintaining deployment, remediation and configuration scripts.\n\nGood working knowledge of Entra ID: groups, dynamic membership, licensing and how Conditional Access uses device compliance.\n\nYou write clear documentation and runbooks that others can follow.\n\nNice to have\nExperience working in tightly restricted or controlled environments, such as defence, government or other high-security settings.\n\nLinux enrollment in Intune and configuration management tooling (for example Ansible).\n\nMicrosoft Defender for Endpoint onboarding through Intune.\n\nExperience with a Microsoft 365 tenant-to-tenant migration.\n\nDutch language.\n\nCertifications\nPreferred: MD-102, Microsoft 365 Certified: Endpoint Administrator Associate. This is the closest match to the role and covers Intune, Autopilot, Defender for Endpoint and automation with PowerShell and Microsoft Graph.\n\nA plus: MS-102 (Microsoft 365 Administrator Expert), SC-300 (Identity and Access Administrator) or SC-200 (Security Operations Analyst).\n\nA plus for macOS and Linux: Apple deployment and management or Jamf certification, LFCS or RHCSA.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4356,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"Dutch","level":"All levels","optional":true}]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Telecommunications","C4ISR","Broadband"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-06T13:07:33Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.897,"p_room":1,"age_days":5,"expected_fill_days":33,"reasons":["conf:3","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-12T06:55:09Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/optics11-modern-workplace-engineer-interim","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/optics11-modern-workplace-engineer-interim.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-12T07:07:45Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":11475,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-13T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":2001460},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=2001460"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Foptics11-modern-workplace-engineer-interim"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Foptics11-modern-workplace-engineer-interim"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Foptics11-modern-workplace-engineer-interim"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/optics11-modern-workplace-engineer-interim\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Foptics11-modern-workplace-engineer-interim"}]}
