Senior Software Engineer in Warrington

In today’s work environment, employees use a myriad of devices to access IT applications and data over multiple networks to stay productive, wherever and however they work. Ivanti elevates and secures Everywhere Work so that people and organizations can thrive.

While our headquarters is in the U.S., half of our employees and customers are outside the country. We have 36 offices in 23 nations, with significant offices in London, Frankfurt, Paris, Sydney, Shanghai, Singapore, and other major cities around the world.

Ivanti’s mission is to be a global technology leader enabling organizations to elevate Everywhere Work, automating tasks that discover, manage, secure, and service all their IT assets. Through diverse and inclusive hiring, decision-making, and commitment to our employees and partners, we will continue to build and deliver world-class solutions for our customers.

At Ivanti, our success begins with our people. This is why we embrace Everywhere Work across the globe, where Ivantians and our customers are thriving. We believe in a healthy work-life blend and act on it by fostering a culture where all perspectives are heard, respected, and valued. Through Ivanti’s Centered Around You approach, our employees benefit from programs focused on their professional development and career growth.

You’ll be joining a highly skilled, globally distributed DevOps team driven by a passion for quality, security, and customer impact. As the stewards of the Neurons Agent, our team takes end-to-end ownership—designing, developing, and maintaining agent code that must work seamlessly across Windows, Mac, and Linux platforms running on both Intel and ARM architectures.

As a Senior Engineer specializing in automated test frameworks, you will play a vital role in developing and expanding our test infrastructure for Windows, Mac, and Linux environments. You’ll collaborate with platform and feature teams to ensure robust coverage, streamlined pipelines, and high-quality releases throughout the Ivanti Neurons Agent ecosystem.

What You Will Be Doing

• Design, develop, and maintain automated test frameworks, concentrating on Windows and Mac platforms, and extending support for Linux as development progresses.
• Implement and manage automated tests with PowerShell, leveraging Pester to write, maintain, and evolve advanced test suites.
• Develop and enhance automation for internal test servers and harnesses, contributing to feature expansion, integration, and ongoing improvements.
• Create, update, and troubleshoot Docker-based test infrastructure, including configuring Docker Swarm and integrating tests into CI/CD pipelines via Azure DevOps and Azure VMs.
• Work with complex networking scenarios required for testing, including setup and troubleshooting (routing, HTTP, SSL, proxies, etc.).
• Collaborate with platform engineers to integrate and validate Agent features, occasionally requiring basic C++ knowledge to understand Agent implementation.
• Document processes, frameworks, and strategies for testing; share best practices and knowledge with fellow engineers.
• Actively contribute to Agile ceremonies: planning, estimation, reviews, retrospectives, and continuous improvement.

To Be Successful in The Role, You Will Have

• Strong, hands-on experience with PowerShell and C#/.NET Core, including developing tests using Pester would be nice to have.
• Practical experience in automated testing on Windows and Mac; familiarity with Linux environments preferred and increasingly important.
• Proficiency with Docker; experience provisioning and managing test environments on Azure (Azure DevOps, Azure VMs).
• Solid understanding of networking technologies (routing, HTTP, SSL, proxying, troubleshooting).
• Experience with custom test harnesses, internal automation, or test server platforms.
• Some exposure to Linux administration and scripting; deeper skills a plus.
• Basic understanding of C++ for integration and troubleshooting purposes.
• Excellent interpersonal, communication, and documentation skills; capable of collaborating in a globally distributed team.
• Adaptable, self-driven, proactive in process improvement, and comfortable contributing to evolving systems.
