Role Summary:
- We are seeking a Senior Staff Engineer with deep hands-on expertise in building enterprise-grade product installers across multiple operating systems. This role will architect develop and modernize the end-to-end installer ecosystem for mission-critical on-premises software deployments.
- You will serve as the technical authority for installer architecture cross-platform packaging silent/unattended automation CI/CD integration and deployment reliability at enterprise scale.
- The ideal candidate has expert-level experience with installer tooling (for example InstallShield and InstallAnywhere) cross-platform packaging (Windows Linux macOS) automation scripting installer test automation source control best practices and enterprise build/release pipelines.
Key Responsibilities:
- Define and drive the installer/packaging technical design and implementation roadmap for enterprise on-premises deployments including install upgrade migration rollback repair and uninstall.
- Design and implement robust Windows installer solutions using InstallShield/MSI best practices (features/components ICE validation custom actions major upgrades minor updates patches/MSP) with strong backward compatibility guarantees.
- Build and maintain cross-platform installers using InstallAnywhere (and related packaging approaches) for Windows Linux and macOS including prerequisite management service setup and configuration across supported environments.
- Deliver unattended repeatable deployments (silent installs response files parameterization idempotent post-install configuration) for enterprise automation and infrastructure-as-code workflows.
- Own installer quality and certification: define test cases and acceptance criteria from work items/requirements create automated install/upgrade/rollback/regression suites validate prerequisites and environment readiness and build diagnostics (structured logs error codes troubleshooting bundles) to reduce time-to-resolution.
- Establish end-to-end automated quality certification for installer deliverables including CI quality gates environment provisioning (VM images/lab automation) and release readiness sign-o based on automated evidence.
- Integrate installer build signing versioning and publishing into CI/CD (e.g. Jenkins/Azure DevOps/GitHub Actions) ensuring reproducible builds and release artifact traceability.
- Partner with Security and Release Engineering on secure supply-chain practices (code signing certificate hygiene SBOM where applicable vulnerability response) for installer and
- dependency distribution.
- Lead through influence: mentor engineers review designs/changes define standards and best
- practices for installer engineering and act as an escalation point for complex customer deployment issues.
Required Qualifications:
- 10 years of software engineering experience including significant depth in installer engineering packaging and enterprise on-premises deployments.
- 6 years of hands-on experience building and maintaining enterprise installers using InstallShield and/or InstallAnywhere (or comparable installer frameworks) including troubleshooting in customer environments.

- Cross-platform deployment experience across Windows Server and major Linux distributions; ability to reason about OS fundamentals (services/daemons permissions networking certificates).
- Ability to translate work items/requirements into clear test cases and acceptance criteria and to automate validation for end-to-end quality certification (install/upgrade/rollback/regression) in CI.
- Advanced scripting for automation (PowerShell Bash) plus proficiency in at least one general-purpose language (e.g. Java C# Python) to build tooling and test harnesses.
- Experience designing CI/CD automation for installers: reproducible builds artifact versioning signing and automated validation (VM-based and/or container-based test environments as appropriate).
- Strong source control and release practices (Git branching/release strategies tags) with an emphasis on auditability and traceability of shipped artifacts.
- Demonstrated Senior Sta-level leadership: sets technical direction drives alignment across teams mentors others and communicates complex tradeos clearly to technical and nontechnical partners.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience packaging and upgrading complex distributed systems (multi-node clustered HA/DR) with well-defined prerequisites and safe upgrade sequencing.
- Experience with regulated / locked-down enterprise environments (air-gapped proxyrestricted hardened OS baselines) and corresponding deployment patterns.
- Familiarity with enterprise software distribution and device management tooling(SCCM/MECM Intune Jamf Ansible Puppet/Chef) and how installers behave in managed deployments.
- Strong release-security experience: Windows Authenticode signing macOS notarization(where applicable) certificate lifecycle management and secure dependency distribution.
- Experience with modern supply-chain and compliance practices (SBOM generation provenance vulnerability remediation workflows) for installer deliverables.
Education:
- Bachelors degree in Computer Science Engineering or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).
