Senior Software Engineer, C++ | Platform & Asset Mgmt

About the Role

We are hiring a Senior C++ Software Engineer to join our growing Platform & Asset Management team. Our team gives customers the tools to shape the platform around their specific needs. We own the products that let organizations build and maintain their own knowledge bases, create custom checklists, define custom fields that capture the data unique to their environment, and manage apps and services directly inside NinjaOne, along with many other features that put real power in our customers’ hands.

On the asset side, we cover software license tracking, asset discovery, and visibility into unmanaged devices, so customers have a clearer picture of what they own and what is connected.

Because these capabilities touch nearly every part of the product, our work influences how thousands of organizations document, customize, and operate their IT environments day to day. You will own software that more than 40,000 customers rely on to make NinjaOne fit their processes.

We are a fast-paced team with a steady pipeline of customer-driven features. We are looking for an engineer for our endpoint agent who is proficient in C++ and has a strong understanding of macOS and Linux systems, to help extend our reach across more of the environments our customers manage.

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.

Location - We are flexible on remote working from home, if you are located in the USA and reside in one of the following states - CA, CO, CT, FL, GA, *IL, KS, MA, MD, ME, NJ, NC, NY, OH, OR, TN, TX, VA, and WA. We have physical offices in Austin, TX and Tampa, FL, if you prefer a hybrid option.
