Patching | Senior Software Engineer, Java
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. 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 is crucial for this role. On our Patching team specifically, scale shows up primarily as a data-volume problem — think retrofitting systems to handle massive datasets, not just high request traffic. If you've worked on large-scale datastore performance, this is where that experience gets used daily.
