We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer, Java/Kotlin to join our Patching team, the team responsible for how NinjaOne discovers, packages, and deploys OS and third-party software patches across every endpoint we manage. This role is backend-focused, working primarily in Java and Kotlin to build and scale the platform that powers patch management for millions of endpoints.

Committing Code and Shipping Products – You will be one of our most trusted engineers committing code. Responsible for implementing design patterns and working on enterprise-level software challenges, in a startup environment. Impact product more hands-on than at other companies, building software of scale that runs on millions and millions of endpoints.

Other duties as needed.

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Information Technology, or equivalent work experience.
• 10+ years of experience in Java software development for product applications, or equivalent.
