You will leverage PowerShell, Bash scripting, and Nexthink's NQL API to build robust and scalable automation, using AI-assisted tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot) to enhance development velocity and code quality.
Key Responsibilities:

• Work on high-impact EUC automation projects centered on Nexthink and modern endpoint management-visibility into real customer outcomes.

• Strong technical autonomy: drive end-to-end automation solutions and influence standards and reusable libraries.

• Hands-on use of modern tooling including Git-based CI/CD and AI-assisted development (e.g., GitHub Copilot) to accelerate delivery and improve code quality.

• Opportunity to deepen expertise in Nexthink NQL and endpoint automation patterns across diverse customer environments.

• Analyze automation and reporting requirements received from consultants, delivery managers and customers, translating these into effective automation solutions that reduce manual effort and errors.

• Design, develop, and maintain robust PowerShell and Bash scripts for Windows and macOS endpoints with a focus on device management, telemetry collection, and incident remediation workflows.

• Integrate automation solutions with Nexthink, primarily through interaction with the Nexthink NQL API, to query endpoint data, trigger actions, and orchestrate workflows.

• Build, optimize, and maintain automated workflows and runbooks for operational processes such as patching, policy enforcement, and incident resolution.

• Integrate automation scripts and Nexthink API calls with external systems (e.g., REST APIs, webhooks, ITSM platforms) to provide end-to-end automation capabilities.

• Maintain, enhance, and modularize existing automation codebases to improve reusability and scalability.

• Document scripts, workflows, API integrations, and operational processes clearly for client knowledge transfer and ongoing support.

• Stay up-to-date with latest Nexthink capabilities, endpoint OS platform changes (Windows/macOS), automation tools, and security best practices.

• Troubleshoot and resolve automation-related issues, ensuring reliability and performance of workflows.

• Participate in code reviews and contribute to continuous improvement of automation standards and practices.

AI and tooling enablement:

• Utilize AI-assisted development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot) to accelerate scripting, prototyping, and refactoring, while ensuring quality, security, and maintainability.

• Employ AI-driven testing and validation approaches to verify automation scripts, including handling edge cases and recovery workflows.

• Follow secure development processes in AI tool usage, including manual code review, sensitive data protection, and provenance management.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field.

• Minimum 3 years' experience in software development, automation, EUC scripting or DevOps with a focus on endpoint automation (mid-to-senior level).

• Strong PowerShell skills for Windows endpoint automation (scripts, functions/modules, remoting, CIM/WMI, error handling, profiling/optimization).

• Proficiency in Bash scripting for macOS/Unix environments.

• Experience integrating automation with REST APIs, webhooks and IT applications (JSON, OAuth/token-based auth); hands-on experience with Nexthink integrations-especially using the NQL API-to query endpoint data and orchestrate workflows.

• Familiarity with Office 365 / Microsoft 365 automation (SharePoint, Teams, AAD/Graph API) is highly desirable.

• Working knowledge of Python for automation tasks and building test scaffolding.

• Experience building and maintaining automated workflows, job scheduling/orchestration and test automation for scripts (unit, integration, smoke tests, edge-case handling).

• Strong experience with Git-based source control, branching strategies and pull-request/code-review workflows.

• Knowledge of logging, monitoring and alerting best practices and tools relevant to endpoints and automation (e.g., Splunk, ELK, Azure Monitor).

• Awareness of secure development practices, secrets/credential management (e.g., Vault, Key Vault), dependency management and least-privilege principles.

• Solid understanding of infrastructure, networking and security concepts relevant to endpoint automation.

• Experience with automation frameworks and orchestration/configuration tools (Ansible, Terraform, Azure Automation/Runbooks, CI/CD tools such as Jenkins/GitHub Actions) is a plus.

• Familiarity with Agile development methodologies.

• Strong problem-solving, attention to detail, and organizational skills; ability to manage multiple projects and priorities.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills; comfortable interacting with delivery managers and customer contacts.

• Demonstrated ability to learn quickly and adapt to new technologies and customer environments.

Preferred / Additional Skills:

• Experience with orchestration/configuration tools (Ansible, Terraform, Azure Automation/Runbooks, Jenkins, GitHub Actions).

• Familiarity with cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, GCP) and their endpoint management automation APIs/SDKs.

• Experience packaging and publishing PowerShell modules and managing versioned automation artifacts.

• Exposure to containerization (Docker) and automation in CI/CD pipelines.

• Prior hands-on use of AI-assisted coding tools (GitHub Copilot, Copilot Labs, LLM-based assistants) to enhance scripting productivity and code quality-coupled with manual security vetting.

• 4-8 years of relevant experience in automation, EUC scripting, or DevOps; exceptional candidates with 3+ years and strong Nexthink/NQL experience will be considered.
