Senior Microsoft Software Engineer - Remote

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.

What you will own

• 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.
  

Required qualifications

• 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.
  

Preferred background

• Experience with BIOS, partitioning, Windows Registry, drive partitioning, Windows PE, and other system‑level architectures.
  
• Experience building enterprise SaaS, endpoint management, Windows‑based systems, cybersecurity‑related products, IT operations software, or automation platforms.
  
• Experience with Windows internals, PowerShell, Microsoft cloud technologies, endpoint administration, or software that executes work across distributed devices.
  
• Experience building application deployment software for MacOS.
  
• Experience with cloud services, distributed systems, messaging, REST APIs, authentication and authorization, third‑party integrations, or high‑volume job orchestration.
  
• Experience using AI‑assisted development tools, agentic workflows, or AI‑enabled testing in a disciplined production engineering environment.
  

What success looks like

• Our client's software capabilities ship predictably and meet clear standards for correctness, security, performance, supportability, and rollback readiness.
  
• The our client's software codebase becomes easier to understand, test, extend, troubleshoot, and operate as the product and customer base grow.
  
• Architectural decisions are pragmatic, well communicated, and aligned with both near‑term delivery needs and the platform’s long‑term direction.
  
• Complex defects and production issues are resolved methodically, with root causes addressed and lessons translated into better code, tests, telemetry, and engineering practices.
  
• Engineering teammates benefit from thoughtful design collaboration, constructive code review, clear documentation, and practical technical mentorship.
  
• AI is used thoughtfully as a force multiplier for engineering speed and quality without weakening security, maintainability, or accountability.
  

Benefits we offer

• Unlimited PTO
  
• Equity in a hyper‑growth startup
  
• Regular training to help nurture your talents and grow within the company
  
• Growth opportunities (Aiden is scaling, and we prefer to promote from within)
