• Apply strong computer science fundamentals and systems programming principles to develop efficient, stable, and resource-conscious software.
• Address operating system-level challenges involving memory management, concurrency, process behavior, and system internals.
• Maintain high standards of software correctness, performance, testing, and reliability across all engineering deliverables.
• Identify potential failure scenarios, assess their impact on customer environments, and implement appropriate safeguards.
• Minimize deployment and maintenance risks, particularly in environments where redeployment or direct access to customer devices may be difficult.
• Testing and Engineering Infrastructure:
• Contribute to the development of virtualized testing environments capable of simulating attack scenarios across multiple operating systems.
• Design and maintain testing approaches that validate endpoint behavior, performance, and reliability under different system conditions.
• Support continuous improvements to development workflows, testing frameworks, and cross-platform software delivery.
• Technical Ownership and Project Delivery:
• Take end-to-end responsibility for engineering features and projects, from understanding customer requirements to implementation and successful delivery.
• Independently establish priorities, manage multiple major engineering initiatives, and balance them with smaller AI-assisted development tasks.
• Focus on high-impact technical work and respond effectively to urgent engineering requirements.
• Explain technical implementations, justify architectural and engineering decisions, and maintain accountability for delivered solutions.
• Identify potential risks early, communicate challenges transparently, and ensure consistent progress.
• Customer Collaboration and Teamwork:
• Work directly with customers to understand technical challenges, investigate issues, and deliver solutions that address their needs.
• Collaborate with backend, DevOps, endpoint, frontend, and design engineers within a multidisciplinary engineering team.
• Maintain clear communication regarding project status, technical decisions, challenges, and delivery expectations.
• Contribute to a collaborative engineering culture by sharing knowledge, welcoming feedback, and continuously improving existing solutions.
• AI-Driven Engineering:
• Use AI agents and advanced language models daily to accelerate software development, investigate unfamiliar technologies, and navigate complex codebases.
• Integrate AI-assisted workflows into problem-solving, technical research, development, and engineering productivity.
• Continuously explore new AI capabilities and apply them thoughtfully to improve engineering efficiency without compromising software quality.

Requirements:

• At least 5 years of professional software engineering experience, preferably in systems programming, low-level development, or performance-sensitive software engineering.
