Role overview
As a Software Engineer at Cresteo, you'll be more than just a developer; you will be part of transforming the tech industry through our honest, transparent, and people-centric approach. Your role will be diverse and dynamic. You'll be instrumental in developing and maintaining our software solutions, working with a varied technology stack, and ensuring that our products are functional, efficient, reliable, and scalable. Own the end-to-end delivery and reliability of third-party application packages across Windows and macOS, from installer analysis and automated validation to production patching. Combine deep packaging expertise with scripting, TypeScript, CI/CD, and AI-assisted engineering to ship applications while continuously improving the automation behind the catalog.
Responsibilities
- developing and maintaining our software solutions
- working with a varied technology stack
- ensuring that our products are functional, efficient, reliable, and scalable
- owning the end-to-end delivery and reliability of third-party application packages across Windows and macOS
- from installer analysis and automated validation to production patching
- combining deep packaging expertise with scripting, TypeScript, CI/CD, and AI-assisted engineering to ship applications while continuously improving the automation behind the catalog
Requirements
- 5+ years as a systems administrator, endpoint engineer or similar, including at least 2 years packaging and deploying software at scale (Intune, SCCM/ConfigMgr, Jamf, Munki, Chocolatey, winget or similar)
- Hands-on Windows packaging: MSI, EXE and MSIX installers, silent switches, detection rules, per-user vs. per-machine installs, x64/arm64
- Hands-on macOS packaging: PKG and DMG, app bundles and bundle IDs, universal vs. architecture-specific builds
- Solid PowerShell and Bash: you can read and fix someone else's installer wrapper
- Experience automating deployments through pipelines (GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps or similar), not only through a management console
- You already work with AI agents: you delegate tasks to them, and you review, validate and correct what they produce. This is non-negotiable
- Comfortable reading TypeScript and YAML well enough to spot what's wrong in an agent-generated change. You don't need to be a developer
- You diagnose failed installs from logs, exit codes and metadata, on devices you can't access
- You can reverse-engineer poorly documented installers, find stable download URLs and version sources, and recognize when an app can't be packaged (login, paywall, bot protection) and write down why
- Maintaining packages in public repositories (winget-pkgs, Chocolatey Community, Homebrew Cask, AutoPkg)
- Python or Go, AWS, vulnerability/CVE data, VM-based install testing
- Strong written English for an async-first team
Benefits

- USD above-average salaries
- Profit Sharing Policy
- Unlimited PTOs after your first year (20 PTOs the first year)

- Great work/life balance
- Honest, simple, and transparent culture
- US-based clients and international teams
