### Why this Role is Featured on The SaaS Jobs
Patching sits at the operational core of modern SaaS, where reliability and security are delivered through continuous software change rather than periodic releases. This Senior Software Engineer role is notable because it is anchored in endpoint and server management at a scale measured in millions, with the Patching team framed as a data volume challenge as much as an application one. That combination places the work squarely in the SaaS reality of long lived services, large customer footprints, and always on expectations.
For a long term SaaS engineering path, the role offers exposure to the kinds of constraints that shape mature cloud products: high availability design, datastore performance, asynchronous systems, and pragmatic architecture decisions under real customer demand. Experience spanning Java and adjacent languages, REST APIs, relational data modeling, and AWS backed services tends to transfer well across SaaS companies that run multi tenant platforms and need careful quality and automation practices.

Job Description
About the Role
As a Senior Software Engineer, Java 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, 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, NJ, NC, NY,OR, TN, TX, VA, and WA. We have physical offices in Austin, TX and Tampa, FL, if you prefer a hybrid option.
We hire the best software engineers, but experience in our stack can’t hurt: NinjaOne is built onJava, 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 our Patching team specifically, scale shows up primarily as a data-volume problem — think retrofitting systems to handle massive datasets, not just high request traffic. If you've worked on large-scale datastore performance, this is where that experience gets used daily.
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.
Qualifications and Requirements:
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Information Technology, or equivalent work experience.
- 10+ years of experience in Java software development, particularly for product applications.
- 5+ years of experience with highly scalable systems.
- Proven experience in scaling systems and solving complex system design challenges.
- Strong knowledge of object-oriented programming (OOP) design principles and practices.
- Expertise in API design and RESTful services, with experience using frameworks like Spring.
- Proficient in relational database design and development.
- Experience with caching systems
- Data warehouse exposure and testing/automation tooling a plus
