What the job involves

- Inside the Nexthink Engineering department, the team you will be joining participates in building what we call the Collectors: the endpoint agents that run on the system of the millions of employees mentioned above
- In a nutshell, Collectors extract meaningful information about the OS, interpret it, and feed it to our amazing data analytics systems. They also help remediate detected issues and improve users' device experience
- Collectors are a complex and critical part of Nexthink products. They require the highest level of reliability and performance on each platform our Collectors currently run: Windows, macOS, and Linux
- Challenge #1: create comprehensive and reliable solutions
- Challenge #2: do it for several platforms, using all the best from each platform
- Challenge #3: still keep solutions cross-platform where possible
- Our engineers are excited to take on broad non-conventional problems and are able to narrow them down to a relevant shape and function
- They constantly come up with ideas to improve our product, they prototype them, then see them through in production and measure their impact. All of this with the very high standards of quality, performance and security that are part of our DNA
Our take
Bad experiences with IT environments cost companies 100 hours per person each year. In order for businesses to avoid those hours of lost productivity, they need to ensure that their employees' digital experience is working for them.
That's where Nexthink's digital experience platform comes in. Its platform combines monitoring, user engagement, analytics, and automation — all from the employee’s perspective. Using one platform, companies are able to handle all parts of their employee's digital experience cycle, from issue detection to employee engagement. Not only does this allow for businesses to be more productive, it also leads to happier employees no longer bogged down by frustrating IT failures.
The company boasts over 1,100 enterprise customers with more than 15 million employees between them. With offices across the globe, its existing customer base is already large. Nexthink has remained focused on further innovation and partnerships, adding capabilities such as conversational AI. The increase in companies looking to invest in digital employee experience tech is set to keep Nexthink on its existing growth trajectory.
