Role Purpose
The Cloud Patching and Backup team is seeking a Software Engineer III to strengthen Tanium-based Linux patching, vulnerability remediation, and automation across UKG cloud and data-center environments. The role combines hands-on Linux engineering with software-focused automation and cross-team operational ownership.
About the Team
The Cloud Patching and Backup team provides management services for UKG cloud and on-premise environments, supporting product maintenance, security, availability, and resilience through operating-system patching, Tanium-based endpoint management, systems automation, observability, backup integration, and coordinated production changes.
Responsibilities
The engineer will serve as a Linux subject matter expert for Cloud Engineering and use Tanium to plan, target, deploy, monitor, and validate patching across development, test, disaster-recovery, non-production, and production environments. Responsibilities include maintaining Tanium packages, actions, deployments, schedules, targeting logic, and compliance reporting; troubleshooting patch applicability, installation failures, pending reboots, configuration drift, and post-patch service issues; and improving deployment reliability through Python tooling and DevOps practices such as Git, code review, CI/CD, testing, logging, and documentation. The role will coordinate patch plans and emergency vulnerability remediation with application, database, security, SRE, and regional operations teams while supporting observability, formal change controls, maintenance windows, and an on-call rotation.
