Senior Desktop Engineer

Title: Senior Desktop Engineer — AmLaw 100 Financial/Legal Services Firm

Location: New York, NY (onsite)

Type: Direct Hire / Permanent

Compensation: $170,000–$180,000

About the Role:
Our client, a globally recognized professional services organization serving high-profile institutional clients, is seeking a Senior Desktop Engineer to join a large, mature Systems Engineering team. This is a hands-on Level 3 role supporting a modern, security-conscious enterprise environment — ideal for someone who wants deep technical ownership without sacrificing the stability and scale of an established organization.

What You'll Do:

• Lead deployment, patching, and compliance reporting across a large enterprise endpoint fleet using MECM/SCCM
• Own Microsoft Intune (MEM/MDM) administration — device configuration, compliance policies, Conditional Access
• Package and deploy applications using MSI/MSIX formats, converting to Intunewin (Win32 App) as needed
• Administer Microsoft 365 Apps, Entra ID (Azure AD), and hybrid identity configurations
• Support Azure Virtual Desktop environments including FSLogix and session host imaging
• Build PowerShell/Microsoft Graph API automation for identity and endpoint management tasks
• Manage Windows Autopilot deployment, BitLocker with Intune key escrow, and modern driver management

What We're Looking For:

• 7+ years of hands-on desktop/systems engineering experience
• Strong, stable tenure history — this is a long-term, career-track opportunity, not a revolving-door contract seat
• Deep Intune, MECM, and Entra ID experience
• Application packaging experience (Flexera AdminStudio a strong plus)
• Experience in a high-security, high-compliance, or professional services environment strongly preferred
• Bachelor's degree preferred, not required

Why This Role:
Join a well-resourced, technically sophisticated team at an organization where IT directly protects client confidentiality and business-critical operations. This is a rare permanent opportunity at this compensation band with a team investing heavily in modern endpoint and identity infrastructure.
