What we’ll do together…

As an Application Engineer on the Windows Engineering Team you’ll work within a team of professionals with a shared goal to democratize security. We strive to make security simple to understand and easy to use with our Windows integrations.

Your focus will be writing scripts or code to test our services for functionality and to improve application stability. You will create and automate environments to verify software works across a wide variety of customer applications and software versions in complex multi-OS Microsoft environments. You will do this in a development environment where continuous integration is in place, automated testing is run against every build, and infrastructure and configuration of environments is automated. You will be the goto person for working with internal (and external when needed) customers to mimic enterprise Microsoft environments to reproduce issues our customers are seeing and identify root configuration causes or enable software engineers to have an environment which reproduces issues in which to identify potential code fixes.

You will work with desktop and server applications, backend services, Python & Powershell scripts, SaaS products, and grow the breadth and depth of your knowledge.If this role is exciting to you, we encourage you to apply even if you don’t meet 100% of the description or skills listed below.

This job may not be for you if…

• You stress under the ambiguity of a problem and default to others to provide you with the answers.

• Your first instinct is to point out why something can’t be done rather than focusing on what the customer problem is and possible solutions.

• You tire at the thought of a steady, deliberate pace in both a product and company.

• If you prefer to work on your own (we are a team that pushes each other and learns together).
