Job description

About the Roleย 

As a Senior Software Engineer, Java - Technical Leadย 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, youโ€™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.

We hire the best software engineers, but experience in our stack canโ€™t hurt:ย  NinjaOne is built onย Java, Kotlin, C++, Golang and Postgres, supporting millions of user endpoints and running as a scalable cloud service in AWS.ย  Knowing large-scale datastore bottlenecks, asynchronous application design and client-server architecture will help you.

What Youโ€™ll Be Doing:

  • Collaboration & Mentorship: Collaborate with cross-functional teams to align on technical decisions and drive improvements. Mentor junior engineers, providing guidance on best practices and setting technical standards across projects.
  • Ownership of Initiatives: Take ownership of technical initiatives, proactively address challenges, and drive improvements based on data reported by support teams.
  • Focus on Quality: Advocate for and implement quality assurance practices, ensuring the delivery of robust, high-performance software.
  • Other Duties: Contribute to additional responsibilities as needed to support the teamโ€™s success.

Qualifications and Requirements:

  • 12+ years of experience in Java software development, particularly for product applications.ย 
  • 5+ years of experience with highly scalable systems.
  • 2+ years experience with Kotlin is a plus.
  • Expertiseย in API design and RESTful services, with experience using frameworks like Spring (Spring Boot) or Jersey.
  • Proven experience in scaling systems and solving complex system design challenges.
  • Strong knowledge of object-oriented programming (OOP) design principles and practices.
  • Proficient in relational database design and development.
  • Experience withย cachingย systems, particularly Redis, is a plus.
  • In-depth knowledge of quality testing practices and ensuring the delivery of high-quality software.
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Information Technology, or equivalent work experience.

About Usย 

NinjaOne automates the hardest parts of IT to deliver visibility, security, and control over all endpoints for more than 30,000 customers.
