The Asset Intelligence Platform is the consolidated registry that maps applications and services to their underlying infrastructure and dependencies across our data centers, compute facilities, and labs, spanning both internal and third-party environments. By aggregating data from dozens of integrations and discovery tools, it forms the information backbone for operational excellence, IT service management, software asset management, and critical security, privacy, and compliance programs.

In any large, evolving infrastructure, visibility is the foundation for everything that follows. Teams responsible for security, compliance, and reliability depend on accurate, comprehensive insight into the environment to do their jobs effectively, and this platform delivers it. As the Application Engineer in this role, you won't just keep the system running-you'll help it evolve alongside the infrastructure and the stakeholders who rely on it.

Description

We are seeking an Application Engineer who operates at the intersection of customer need and engineering execution.
