Job Description
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.
