About the Role

Do you love scripting, dissecting installers, and building automation at scale? We are looking for a Software Packaging Engineer with deep IT and/or Managed Service Provider (MSP) experience to build high‑quality third‑party software packages for our automated patching platform. You will research vendor applications, analyze installers, and build package metadata that powers our RMM’s third‑party patching engine. Your work will directly influence the reliability and security of thousands of organizations around the world. You will join our Software Engineering team, working alongside other Software Product Engineers.  Collaborating with our Product Managers, Software Development Engineers, and our Support Engineers, you will work with like-minded individuals to deliver exceptional, production‑ready automation content for NinjaOne clients.

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.

• Define and maintain packaging standards that improve consistency, reliability, and security across all supported applications. 

• Continuously enhance our package catalog to reflect evolving IT and security requirements. 

• Frontline Automation & Rapid Response 

• Build one‑off or urgent automation scripts in response to emerging vulnerabilities, vendor changes, or customer needs. 

• Troubleshoot packaging issues, installer failures, and automation edge cases. 

• Partner with Support and Engineering teams to resolve customer‑impacting issues quickly and effectively. 

• Other duties as needed 

 About You

• 3+ years of experience installing, maintaining, configuring, and automating software on Windows, Mac, and Linux.

• Strong understanding of installer technologies (MSI, InstallShield, NSIS, Inno Setup, custom EXEs). 

• Experience with software packaging for RMM, SCCM, Intune, or similar endpoint management platforms. 

• Ability to break down complex installer behavior and build reliable silent install/upgrade workflows. 

• Familiarity with secure configuration baselines and the challenges IT teams face in maintaining them. 

• Experience with source control and interacting with REST APIs. 

• A passion for problem‑solving and building automation that scales.
