About The Position

LendingTree is seeking a Platform Engineer to join the Endpoint Engineering team within Digital Workplace. The team treats Windows and Mac endpoints as products, building, securing, and delivering them through code, automation, and repeatable pipelines. The role helps manage and improve platforms supporting employee devices, including Microsoft Intune, Iru, and patching and security tools. It combines IT and software engineering practices—including scripting, automation, version control, and CI/CD—to deliver secure, reliable, and compliant endpoints. The engineer will work alongside experienced engineers in a collaborative, learning-focused environment. The position is based in Seattle, Washington, and requires attendance at the office three days a week. The engineer collaborates with Information Security, Identity & Access Management, Infrastructure, Site Reliability Engineering, Service Desk, and Productivity Apps teams. The role includes ownership of assigned work, contribution to broader endpoint initiatives, and opportunities to develop software engineering skills. Success involves securely and reliably operating endpoint management platforms; managing Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android devices to applicable security and compliance requirements; deploying applications, scripts, and policies through tested pipelines and phased rollouts; maintaining reviewed, version-controlled configurations and automation; reducing manual processes; proactively addressing endpoint health, patching, and compliance issues; investigating incidents and documenting root causes; and maintaining useful technical documentation and runbooks.

Requirements

At least 4 years of related experience supporting enterprise endpoints across Windows and macOS.
Hands-on experience with Microsoft Intune and a macOS mobile device management (MDM) platform, such as Iru, Jamf, or a similar solution.
Experience writing automation scripts; PowerShell is required, along with some experience in Python or another general-purpose programming language.
Working knowledge of Git, including commits, branches, and pull request workflows.
Familiarity with CI/CD concepts and pipelines, such as Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, or GitLab CI.
Experience working with REST APIs, ideally Microsoft Graph, and an understanding of REST/JSON integrations.
Experience packaging and deploying applications to managed endpoints.
Understanding of Entra ID, Conditional Access, device compliance, endpoint security baselines, disk encryption, and EDR solutions such as Microsoft Defender.
Experience administering and troubleshooting Windows 10/11 and macOS, with familiarity in iOS and Android device management.
Strong troubleshooting, analytical, and problem-solving skills, particularly across endpoint, enrollment, and policy issues.
Clear communication skills and the ability to work effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Must be legally authorized to work in the United States and must not require employer sponsorship now or in the future.

Responsibilities

Maintain and troubleshoot endpoint management solutions, including Microsoft Intune, Iru, and ManageEngine Endpoint Central, while supporting Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android devices.
Develop and maintain PowerShell and Python scripts and API integrations to reduce manual work, improve consistency, and streamline endpoint operations.
Support CI/CD pipelines that validate, package, test, and deploy applications, scripts, and policies through test and pilot rings into production.
Implement and maintain security baselines, encryption, endpoint detection and response (EDR), Conditional Access, and device compliance policies in partnership with Information Security.
Monitor endpoint health, patching, and compliance metrics; maintain dashboards and alerts; troubleshoot issues; and support incident response and root cause analysis.
Maintain endpoint configurations as code in Git, participate in code reviews, validate changes before broad deployment, and create operational documentation.
Collaborate with Information Security, Identity & Access Management, Infrastructure, SRE, Service Desk, and Productivity Apps teams.
Contribute to endpoint initiatives, take ownership of assigned work, and continue developing engineering skills.
