Job description

• About the role
• Build and evolve our client;s End Point Software Management platform, the core automation engine behind their Windows endpoint management platform, while helping shape technical architecture and delivering secure, reliable software in C#, WPF, and .NET.
• The person in this seat is a senior individual contributor who combines sound technical judgment with hands-on engineering. This engineer will participate in architectural decisions, translate product needs into maintainable solutions, and contribute directly to design, implementation, testing, troubleshooting, and release readiness.
• The role is primarily focused on our client's software, with opportunities to contribute to AidenVision, AidenStudio, Aiden Policy Editor, and other Aiden software.

Responsibilities

• Designing, building, testing, and maintaining production software for our client's software using C#, WPF, and .NET, with a focus on reliability, security, performance, and maintainability.
• Technical design and architecture contributions, including evaluating tradeoffs, defining interfaces and patterns, documenting decisions, and helping the platform evolve without creating unnecessary complexity.
• End-to-end delivery of meaningful product capabilities, from refinement and estimation through implementation, code review, automated testing, deployment support, and post-release learning.
• Diagnosis and resolution of complex defects and production issues across application code, services, integrations, data flows, and Windows endpoint environments.
• Engineering quality through clear, testable code; thoughtful reviews; appropriate automated test coverage; observability; secure development practices; and disciplined source control.
• Technical collaboration and mentorship that raises the effectiveness of the engineering team, including sharing context, reviewing designs, pairing on difficult problems, and helping other engineers make sound implementation decisions.
• Practical use of AI-assisted engineering and agentic workflows to improve speed and leverage while protecting code quality, security, governance, and release reliability.

Requirements

• 7+ years of professional software development experience, including substantial hands-on experience building and supporting production applications in C#, WPF, and .NET.
• Direct experience building Windows deployment software or application deployment software for Windows.
• Hands-on experience setting up and troubleshooting network services including DHCP, PXE, proxy servers, and CDNs.
• Strong understanding of software architecture, object-oriented design, APIs, asynchronous processing, data access, integration patterns, and maintainable application design.
• Demonstrated ability to take complex features from ambiguous requirements through technical design, implementation, testing, release, and production support.
• Experience diagnosing difficult software problems using logs, metrics, traces, debuggers, profilers, and systematic root-cause analysis.
• A strong quality mindset, including experience with unit, integration, and automated testing; code review; source control; CI/CD; and reliable release practices.
• Working knowledge of relational databases and SQL, including data modeling, query performance, and application-level data access.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to explain technical decisions, risks, and tradeoffs to both engineering and non-engineering stakeholders.
• Experience working in Agile / Scrum teams and with Azure DevOps, GitHub, or similar planning, source control, build, and deployment systems.
• Comfort operating in a smaller, high-accountability growth company where senior engineers balance architecture, hands-on delivery, collaboration, and production ownership.
• Neat and clean (well-crafted, indicates attention to detail).
• Brief (two pages is ideal I will accept 3 pages for an excellent candidate). This indicates focus and an understand of what is important. A long resume with dozens of bullet points per job, indicates a candidate who is throwing everything at the wall hoping something will stick.
• The resume should tell me most of what I need to know with a quick scan, with clear headings.
• Experience with Windows system internals and Windows PE
• Some understanding of SQL
• Excellent grasp of .NET / C# / design patterns
• Some front end framework experience is a bonus
• Good understanding of SDLC
• Understanding of scale
• An ability to answer why questions
• There are some Easter eggs (unintentionally hidden) in the job description that have demonstrated a good track record of uncovering AI-generated resumes. Too many candidates take the job description and feed it into AI to customize the resume. We can spot these immediately. While this doesn't necessarily disqualify the candidate, it makes us suspicious.
