Role Overview:

We are seeking a highly skilled Lead Solution Engineer with deep experience across modern virtual workspace and cloud platform technologies to help shape both our current and future end-user computing and application-delivery strategy. While Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops remains an important part of our current environment, this role is equally focused on defining and advancing a future-state platform built on modern solutions such as Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD), Windows 365, and Azure infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS).

Key Responsibilities:

  • Act as a technical lead for virtual application and desktop platforms, covering both the current Citrix-based environment and emerging modern workspace platforms.
  • Assess and document the existing virtual application and desktop architecture, identifying gaps, risks, technical debt, and opportunities to modernize.
  • Lead solution-design efforts that balance near-term platform stability with long-term modernization and cloud-first strategies.
  • Design and evaluate modern virtual workspace solutions, including Azure Virtual Desktop, Windows 365, and supporting Azure IaaS components (compute, storage, networking).
  • Evaluate platform options and delivery models, providing recommendations based on business outcomes, user experience, operational efficiency, and sustainability.
  • Partner with stakeholders to understand evolving use cases and advocate for SaaS-first, identity-driven, and cloud-native approaches.
  • Define future-state architectures, migration strategies, and phased transition plans away from heavy dependence on Citrix.
  • Develop technical standards, design artifacts, and reference architectures for modern virtual workspace and cloud platforms.
  • Provide hands-on guidance and mentorship to engineering teams during implementation, troubleshooting, and optimization.
  • Collaborate with security, networking, identity, and cloud-infrastructure teams to ensure solutions meet enterprise security, compliance, and architectural standards.
  • Stay current on industry trends and emerging technologies across EUC, cloud platforms, SaaS delivery models, and modern workplace capabilities.

Required Qualifications:

  • Strong hands-on experience with Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops, including design, deployment, and operational support in enterprise environments.
  • Experience designing, implementing, or supporting Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) and/or Windows 365.
  • Solid background in Azure IaaS concepts such as compute, storage, networking, and identity integration.
  • Proven ability to operate in a lead engineering role, influencing platform strategy and architectural direction.
  • Experience supporting complex, large-scale environments across hybrid and cloud-hosted platforms.
  • Alignment with modern ways of working, including SaaS-friendly, cloud-native solutions.
  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.

Preferred Experience:

  • Hands-on experience with Azure Virtual Desktop, Windows 365, or similar modern EUC platforms.
  • Experience designing or operating Azure IaaS solutions for virtual desktops and application delivery.
  • Familiarity with SaaS-first strategies, identity-driven access models, and modern endpoint management.
  • Experience planning and executing enterprise-scale platform transitions or modernization initiatives.

What Success Looks Like:

  • A clearly documented current-state virtual application and desktop environment.
  • Practical recommendations for improving stability and performance while reducing technical debt.
  • A future-ready strategy that modernizes the virtual workspace platform and reduces reliance on Citrix.
  • Strong alignment across engineering, architecture, security, and business teams on platform direction.
