About The Position
Automox is hiring a Software Engineer for its Agent Team to build and improve a cloud-native endpoint management platform. The engineering team develops products that autonomously manage configuration, security, and patching across Windows, macOS, and Linux devices. The role focuses on software and event-driven services that communicate with more than 2 million deployed Automox agents worldwide. The successful candidate is a curious, collaborative software developer who takes ownership of problems, values quality and testing, and works effectively with a cross-functional team. The position involves building and operating high-availability SaaS applications, contributing to frontend features as well as backend work, and making data-driven technical decisions. Automox is fully distributed. Its engineering teams use a 70/20/10 sprint-capacity model for roadmap work, technical debt and service health, and protected learning and exploration. The company is moving toward full service ownership, and significant technical decisions receive Architecture Review Board review.
