Role Overview

RedCloak sensor is a vital part of our TDR product and its a light agent running on client endpoints in order to detect malicious behavior and feed data into the cloud for further threat analysis. With the help of threat intelligence gathered by our world class security researchers and powered by amazing threat analytics platform we are able to detect threats and secure our clients infrastructure.

We are looking for Principal Software Engineer with good knowledge of Windows systems to drive the next-generation endpoint capabilities of our new product offerings, which you can explore here. You will work in a fast-paced, startup-like environment with an experienced, cross-functional team of software engineers, data scientists, and security experts to develop our next generation endpoint sensor that seamlessly integrates with our cloud-native security analytics platform. If you love computer security and digging into complex engineering challenges, then we want your help securing human progress!

The ideal candidate will have a computer science background with an emphasis on operating systems and computer security. Your focus will be on the Windows agent, but many features cut across OS subsystems such as collecting telemetry from processes, networking, and file systems. Your code will be used in a lean agent that delivers security by building on proven, pre-existing mechanisms inside the Windows operating systems in order to minimize its footprint.

The agent has shared components across multiple platforms, so experience with Linux based system development is also a plus. We expect most will have extensive experience with C/C++, but experience or interest with Golang is a strong plus and will be heavily utilized.

* Ensure high standards are being followed when it comes to design, coding quality, along with unit and component testing.
* Work effectively on a geographically distributed team to deliver high quality software against aggressive schedules.

Requirements

* Minimum of 5 years software development using C++
* Minimum of 2 years System Level Development Or Kernel Development
* Minimum 2 years experience with System level APIs on (Linux, macOS, Windows) Platform
