Job Description

Kforce has a client that is seeking a Desktop Packaging Engineer in New York, NY. Summary: The Desktop Packaging Engineer is responsible for building, testing, and deploying Windows and macOS application packages to support enterprise software delivery and time-sensitive vulnerability remediation, including zero-day threats. This role partners closely with application owners, security, deployment, and support teams to ensure all software is packaged securely, reliably, and in alignment with established SLAs and governance standards. This position plays a critical role in rapidly converting vendor patches and emergency security fixes into production-ready packages, supporting forced deployments, and enabling timely remediation of High, Critical, and zero-day vulnerabilities across the endpoint environment. You will operate in a dynamic environment that requires both technical depth and the ability to respond quickly to emerging risks. Key Responsibilities:
  • Design and develop moderately complex application packaging solutions and supporting infrastructure components
  • Ensure packaging solutions align with end-to-end platform performance, scalability, and reliability requirements
  • Author and maintain policies, standards, guidelines, and standard operating procedures (SOPs) to support packaging and deployment processes
  • Independently monitor and analyze advanced performance and capacity metrics to optimize technology solutions and ensure SLA adherence

Requirements:

  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent desired
  • 2 years of experience in desktop engineering or application packaging
  • Proven experience with SCCM / MECM, Workspace One, or Microsoft Intune
  • Experience managing application deployment across enterprise environments
  • Solid understanding of Windows OS (10/11)
  • Knowledge of software development lifecycle and change management processes
  • Application Packaging (MSI, MSIX, App-V)
  • PowerShell scripting
  • Shows curiosity and adaptability in learning and responsibly applying new technologies, including artificial intelligence, to reimagine how we work
Desired Experiences:
  • Experience in financial services or regulated environments
  • Experience with DevOps practices and automation pipelines
  • Familiarity with Azure AD / Endpoint security tools
  • VDI (Citrix, VMWare Horizon)
  • Knowledge of OS imaging and provisioning (MDT, Autopilot)

The pay range is the lowest to highest compensation we reasonably in good faith believe we would pay at posting for this role. We may ultimately pay more or less than this range. Employee pay is based on factors like relevant education, qualifications, certifications, experience, skills, seniority, location, performance, union contract and business needs. This range may be modified in the future.

We offer comprehensive benefits including medical/dental/vision insurance, HSA, FSA, 401(k), and life, disability & ADD insurance to eligible employees. Salaried personnel receive paid time off. Hourly employees are not eligible for paid time off unless required by law. Hourly employees on a Service Contract Act project are eligible for paid sick leave.

Note: Pay is not considered compensation until it is earned, vested and determinable. The amount and availability of any compensation remains in Kforce's sole discretion unless and until paid and may be modified in its discretion consistent with the law.

This job is not eligible for bonuses, incentives or commissions.
