Lead Senior Software Engineer, Java | Catalog Team

About the Role 

As a Lead Senior Software Engineer, Java on NinjaOne's Catalog team, you'll help build and scale the services behind our RMM's third-party patching engine, the systems that detect new vendor software versions, validate them safely before release, and get them into the hands of customers managing millions of endpoints. You'll design and implement scalable solutions and platform improvements, 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.

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, ME, MA, MD, NJ, NC, NY, OR, TN, TX, VA, OH and WA. We have physical offices in Austin, TX and Tampa, FL, if you prefer a hybrid option.

** Onsite interviews may be required for this role.**

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 is crucial for this role.

On the Catalog team specifically, scale is an ongoing challenge as our third-party package catalog grows quickly. We're continually building new capabilities to keep support reliable, fast, and secure as that growth continues, from how we detect and validate new versions to how we get them safely onto customer endpoints. If you enjoy scaling a growing system and building the infrastructure behind new product capabilities, that's where this role spends its time.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Software Development: Lead the development of large-scale software applications, ensuring high quality and adherence to our quality-first standards.
• Software Architecture & Leadership: Influence critical architectural decisions, ensuring that systems are scalable, maintainable, and aligned with business objectives. Balance technical debt, performance concerns, and scalability with business needs.
• 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 team’s success.
