The Opportunity 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. \n How You'll Make a Difference Day to Day 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
