Lead Windows Server Administrator

📍 Gandhinagar 🏷️ Software Development 💰 ₹147,500 / month

About the Role

GIFT City in Gandhinagar has a Lead Windows Server Administrator opening, full time, on site, with a team managing Windows infrastructure across a growing organization. Eleven years of experience is the expectation, and this lead role carries real authority over Active Directory architecture decisions.

A Day in This Job

The work covers implementing new features based on project requirements, debugging and resolving technical issues, documenting work for future reference, and participating in code reviews, all within a Windows Server environment where a lead administrator reviews group policy changes from the rest of the team before they roll out broadly.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Own Windows Server and Active Directory architecture
  • Review group policy changes from other administrators
  • Write and maintain PowerShell automation scripts
  • Troubleshoot complex infrastructure issues

Qualifications

A bachelor's degree in computer science, information technology, or a related field is expected, along with practical, hands-on project experience and strong proficiency in the relevant tools and frameworks. Eleven years is a genuinely senior bar for this lead role.

Skills That Matter

  • Windows Server at an architectural level
  • Active Directory
  • PowerShell
  • Troubleshooting under real production pressure

Good to Have

Experience with Azure Active Directory hybrid architectures, familiarity with group policy structure design for genuinely large environments, and any background where a proposed policy change was caught in review before causing wider unintended effects.

Why This Role

GIFT City is a purpose-built international financial and business hub in Gandhinagar, and this organization's Windows infrastructure has grown to a genuinely complex scale that requires deliberate architectural thinking, not just reactive administration. Naukri Mitra has listed a few software roles from this employer, and the lead administrator here has real say over group policy structure decisions that affect the whole organization, a level of authority past hires describe as unusual for a role outside the major metros.

The Interview Process

Interviews include a technical round on Active Directory architecture and a scenario discussion about reviewing a risky group policy change. Candidates who identify potential unintended effects tend to interview well.

Benefits

  • Health insurance covering the employee and immediate family
  • Paid time off
  • Performance-linked bonuses
  • Relocation assistance and accommodation support for candidates moving to Gandhinagar

Location & Pay

This role is based at GIFT City, Gandhinagar, pin code 382355, five days a week on site. Pay runs up to ₹1,47,500 a month. The team hopes to fill this seat within six weeks.
