Why This Job is Featured on The SaaS Jobs
This PowerShell Developer role sits at the intersection of SaaS product delivery and modern IT operations, focused on endpoint automation and integrations around a dedicated DEX platform. In the SaaS ecosystem, that combination matters because customer outcomes depend not only on application features but also on reliable automation, telemetry, and remediation across heterogeneous environments such as Windows, macOS, VDI, and cloud-managed endpoints.
For a long-term SaaS career, the work builds durable skills in API-driven automation, operational runbooks, and integration patterns that recur across B2B software companies. Experience with Git-based CI/CD, secure scripting practices, and observability-oriented workflows translates well into platform engineering, solutions engineering, and DevOps-adjacent roles within SaaS, where repeatability and risk control are core to scaling customer deployments.
The role is best suited to engineers who like owning automation end to end, from requirements intake through implementation and documentation, and who prefer structured engineering practices over ad hoc scripting. It will fit professionals who enjoy collaborating with delivery stakeholders and customers, and who want to deepen expertise in endpoint management and SaaS integrations without moving away from hands-on development.

You will design, develop, and implement automation solutions focused on endpoint efficiency, incident remediation, and operational productivity across Windows, macOS, and cloud and VDI environments. You will leverage PowerShell, Bash scripting, and Nexthink’s NQL API to build robust and scalable automation, using AI-assisted tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot) to enhance development velocity and code quality.
Key Responsibilities:
Design, develop, and maintain robust PowerShell and Bash scripts for Windows and macOS endpoints with a focus on device management, telemetry collection, and incident remediation workflows.
Integrate automation solutions with Nexthink, primarily through interaction with the Nexthink NQL API, to query endpoint data, trigger actions, and orchestrate workflows.
Build, optimize, and maintain automated workflows and runbooks for operational processes such as patching, policy enforcement, and incident resolution.
Integrate automation scripts and Nexthink API calls with external systems (e.g., REST APIs, webhooks, ITSM platforms) to provide end-to-end automation capabilities.
Document scripts, workflows, API integrations, and operational processes clearly for client knowledge transfer and ongoing support.
Stay up-to-date with latest Nexthink capabilities, endpoint OS platform changes (Windows/macOS), automation tools, and security best practices.
AI and tooling enablement:
Utilize AI-assisted development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot) to accelerate scripting, prototyping, and refactoring, while ensuring quality, security, and maintainability.
Follow secure development processes in AI tool usage, including manual code review, sensitive data protection, and provenance management.
Qualifications
Strong PowerShell skills for Windows endpoint automation (scripts, functions/modules, remoting, CIM/WMI, error handling, profiling/optimization).
Experience integrating automation with REST APIs, webhooks and IT applications (JSON, OAuth/token-based auth); hands-on experience with Nexthink integrations—especially using the NQL API—to query endpoint data and orchestrate workflows.
Experience building and maintaining automated workflows, job scheduling/orchestration and test automation for scripts (unit, integration, smoke tests, edge-case handling).
Knowledge of logging, monitoring and alerting best practices and tools relevant to endpoints and automation (e.g., Splunk, ELK, Azure Monitor).
Awareness of secure development practices, secrets/credential management (e.g., Vault, Key Vault), dependency management and least-privilege principles.
Experience with automation frameworks and orchestration/configuration tools (Ansible, Terraform, Azure Automation/Runbooks, CI/CD tools such as Jenkins/GitHub Actions) is a plus.
Preferred / Additional Skills:
Experience with orchestration/configuration tools (Ansible, Terraform, Azure Automation/Runbooks, Jenkins, GitHub Actions).
