About The Position

As a Senior Software Engineer, Java at NinjaOne, you'll play a key role in enhancing our IT Operations product suite by designing and implementing scalable solutions and platform improvements. You'll contribute to new features and support existing functionality, all while ensuring our software meets the high expectations of our customers. In this role, you’ll be part of a team of engineers and technology experts, delivering mission-critical services that help our customers manage, protect, and maintain millions of endpoints and servers. You will have the opportunity to design and develop high-availability software systems that support our global operations. We hire the best software engineers, but experience in our stack can’t hurt: NinjaOne is built on Java, Kotlin, C++, Golang and Postgres, supporting millions of user endpoints and running as a scalable cloud service in AWS. Knowing large-scale datastore bottlenecks, asynchronous application design and client-server architecture will help you. Real opportunity to shape process on a team that's still early in building it out — not just maintain what already exists. High autonomy for the right person; we want builders who push back and suggest improvements, not order-takers, working on a foundational, mission-critical piece of Ninja's endpoint management product.
