Role Description
As a Senior Client Platform Engineer on CorpFleet Engineering, you will lead the migration to FleetDM and build the shared platform capabilities that support dependable endpoint operations. You will combine hands-on engineering with technical planning, partnering with Windows, macOS, and Linux engineers to introduce changes safely across a distributed environment.
You will develop automation, integrations, and configuration-as-code workflows, validate platform capabilities, and guide phased adoption. Beyond migration, you will improve platform reliability, visibility, and maintainability, helping the team reduce manual work and operate the service with shared ownership.
You will partner with Security, IAM, CorpInfra, and support teams to resolve dependencies and make practical trade-offs. This is an individual-contributor position with technical leadership and mentoring responsibilities.
