• Design standardized, scalable, and repeatable developer workstation configurations to support different engineering teams and software development technologies.
• Manage developer endpoint software provisioning, configuration, and lifecycle maintenance.
• Design and maintain development environments involving Integrated Development Environments (IDEs), Software Development Kits (SDKs), runtime environments, package managers, plugins, extensions, and supporting utilities.
• Automate the provisioning and configuration of developer workstations to improve consistency, efficiency, and developer productivity.
• Establish and enforce security controls for developer workspaces in accordance with enterprise security policies and compliance requirements.
• Implement secure access mechanisms, including multi-factor authentication (MFA), privileged access management (PAM), certificate-based authentication, and conditional access policies.
• Govern development tooling ecosystems, including Visual Studio, Visual Studio Code, JetBrains tools, Git, GitHub Enterprise, Azure DevOps, Docker Desktop, and local Kubernetes development platforms.
• Ensure compatibility, standardization, and version consistency across development tools and workstation configurations.
• Collaborate with Platform Engineering, Cybersecurity, and End User Computing teams to maintain secure and efficient developer environments.
• Support the Apple developer ecosystem and macOS-specific development requirements.
• Evaluate emerging technologies and recommend improvements to developer tooling, workspace automation, and workstation management.
• Maintain technical documentation, configuration standards, and workspace governance procedures.
