Compensation: ₹16 LPA
Work Mode: Remote
Shift: Monday–Friday, 6:00 PM – 2:00 AM IST
About the Role
We are looking for an experienced Active Directory Engineer to provide hands-on operational support and engineering expertise across complex enterprise identity environments.
This role is not limited to routine AD administration. You will work across Active Directory, DNS, observability platforms (Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, Datadog), and have working exposure to Microsoft Entra ID.
A strong understanding of clean forest architecture, OU/GPO design, and identity hygiene is critical.
The ideal candidate is someone who understands what “good” looks like in AD, can spot design flaws, fix them methodically, and document decisions clearly.
Key Responsibilities
- Operate and support enterprise Active Directory environments (single & multi-forest).
- Design, review, and optimize:
- Forest and domain architecture
- OU structures and delegation models
- Group Policy design, inheritance, and enforcement
- Manage and troubleshoot DNS (AD-integrated zones, forwarders, replication issues).
- Support identity-related operational incidents and escalations.
- Implement and maintain observability for AD using:
- Splunk (event ingestion, queries, dashboards)
- Microsoft Sentinel
- Datadog (where applicable)
- Perform AD health checks, security reviews, and remediation.
- Support hybrid identity scenarios and have working knowledge of Entra ID / Azure AD.
- Assist with automation and scripting (Power Shell) for operational efficiency.
- Produce clear documentation for architecture, SOPs, and operational runbooks.
- Participate in mock consultations, technical discussions, and solution reviews.
Required Skills & Expertise
- 5–10 years of hands-on Active Directory engineering experience.
- Strong understanding of:
- AD forests, domains, trusts, FSMO roles
- OU design and GPO management (not just editing policies)
- DNS fundamentals in AD environments
- Solid experience working with Windows Server–based Domain Controllers.
- Practical experience with Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, or Datadog for identity observability.
- Good working knowledge of Microsoft Entra ID (hybrid identity concepts).
- Strong Power Shell scripting skills for AD and operational tasks.
- Ability to reason about best practices, security posture, and design trade-offs.
- Clear communication and documentation skills.
Preferred Skills
- Experience with large or regulated enterprise environments.
- Exposure to:
- AD security hardening
- Tiered access models
- Privileged access concepts
- Familiarity with identity-related compliance or audit requirements.
- Prior experience in consulting or L3 support roles.
Assessment Process
- 2-week paid assessment
- Compensation: ₹600/hour
- Practical, hands-on evaluation covering:
- Standing up AD forests and Domain Controllers
- Designing OU and GPO structures
- Configuring AD observability using Splunk / Sentinel / Datadog
- Automation and Power Shell tasks
- Mock consulting scenarios
- Documentation and design reasoning
All assessment work is performed in non-production
