Client Technology Staging Engineer

Summary

The Client Technology Staging Engineer is responsible for end-to-end device provisioning, user lifecycle management (ULM), and multi-device staging in support of the Abacus client base. This role combines hands-on PC building and imaging with user onboarding/offboarding and the configuration of additional client hardware such as mobile devices, phones, and select network-enabled equipment.

This position is client-facing in impact and highly visible within the organization. It requires precision, strong communication skills, technical depth across Windows and cloud environments, and a process-driven mindset. While exposure to network-connected devices is expected, this role does not require advanced network engineering responsibilities.

Engineers in this role are expected to execute standardized build processes while also identifying opportunities to improve efficiency through automation and scripting.
