Senior Application Packaging Engineer

Senior Application Packaging Engineer

Purpose: Own the end-to-end packaging, testing and deployment of the client's business applications for the Windows release. Set the packaging standards and mentor the team. This is a senior hire, so we are looking for someone who has delivered packaging at enterprise scale with minimal supervision.

Responsibilities

• Package applications as Win32 (PSADT / IntuneWin) and deploy them through Intune. Convert legacy MSI, EXE and scripted installers, including from SCCM or other tools.
• Define the packaging standards: naming, versioning, silent install switches, logging and uninstall.
• Write detection rules, requirement rules, dependencies and supersedence, and set up assignment and deployment rings.
• Handle complex and legacy apps: drivers, apps needing user context, vendor and line-of-business apps, and apps that do not support silent install.
• Define and implement third-party patching, covering update packages, scheduling and exceptions.
• Test in a clean VM and on pilot devices, run regression and compatibility checks, and support BU UAT and defect fixes.
• Track the application inventory and status per BU, and report progress and risks.
• Document each package (install, detection, rollback) and sign off for pilot and production.
• Guide and review the work of junior packagers and L2 engineers.

Skills

• 6+ years of application packaging, with at least 2 years on Intune / Win32 apps.
• Advanced PowerShell and PSADT.
• IntuneWin, MSIX, and Winget.
• Troubleshooting with Process Monitor, Sysinternals and installer logs.
• Third-party patching tools or approaches.
• Familiarity with Windows Autopilot and Intune update rings.
• Strong documentation and stakeholder communication.
• Relevant Microsoft certification preferred (MD-102 or equivalent).
