What the job involves
- At Iru, we are redefining enterprise IT and security by building a unified, AI-powered device management platform
- As a Senior Software Engineer on our IT Products team, you will build the core, high-throughput backend infrastructure that remotely configures, patches, and secures millions of endpoints from macOS and Windows laptops to iOS and Android devices worldwide
- The IT Products teams own the critical, real-time communication pipeline between our platform and the devices themselves
- You will tackle complex challenges in distributed systems, handling massive influxes of device telemetry and building automated, event-driven workflows that allow IT admins to manage their entire fleet from a single console
- If you want to build deep highly performant systems where your code directly secures and orchestrates enterprise hardware at scale, this is your opportunity
- Build and Maintain Service Architecture: Architect and implement reliable, scalable backend services to support our device management platform, with a heavy focus on backend engineering (~70% of the role)
- Power Real-Time Device Orchestration: Own and evolve our asynchronous service communication, configuration distribution, and telemetry pipelines using Kafka to handle high-velocity device state changes
- Optimize Database Performance: Write clean, high-performance database queries to interact directly with our relational databases, ensure maximum query efficiency, speed, and visibility into device inventories
- Leverage Modern Dev Workflows: Lean into AI-assisted development tools to accelerate your workflow, while maintaining a rigorous standard for self-reviewing code so as not to bog down the team’s pipeline
- Drive Infrastructure Improvements: Partner with the infrastructure team to evolve CI/CD pipelines, agent distribution networks, and service deployment patterns
- Mentor and Lead by Example: Lead technical development with knowledge of up-to-date best practices, and guide other engineers through code reviews, architectural discussions, and technical decision-making
- Design for Scalability and Resilience: Build systems that handle massive device fleet growth gracefully and are resilient to failure across distributed global environments
Our take
Device and application management is essential for the maintenance of an IT stack, with particular emphasis on frequent updating and compliance. This can be a laborious and repetitive task, so management software exists to automate these processes. However, existing solutions are generally aimed towards IT departments running on Windows.
Iru, formerly Kandji, provides a mobile device management platform that facilitates the remote maintenance of Apple-based IT stacks. Users can manage IT devices, applications, networking and compliance within a zero-touch automation system. The need for this service in companies using Apple hardware is clear: it has been adopted by major enterprises such as Belkin, Crunchbase and Notion.
As the Apple device management market is also expanding at speed, Iru is well poised to continue its run of success. It has raised significant funding across several rounds, the latest of which came in 2024 and helped it launch its new AI-powered unified IT and security platform. This new product signifies a new approach to IT and security management and exemplifies Iru's ability to continuously innovate its market.
