SENIOR SOFTWARE ENGINEER (C++) - CYBERSECURITY
Key Skills for This Role
Full Job Posting
How We Work:
Strategic Autonomy: We hire self-starters and give them the space to innovate. As a senior member of the team, you will operate with minimal direction. We don't micromanage; we provide the objective and trust you to architect the solution.
Sophistication & Scale: You will tackle high-complexity work (Puppet, Foreman, and enterprise data center environments) in a low-bureaucracy setting. We’ve removed the corporate fluff so you can focus on the craftsmanship of infrastructure.
Remote Excellence: Enjoy the flexibility of a 100% remote role while collaborating with a high-caliber team that values technical integrity above all else.
What You’ll Do:
Research & Invent : Discover new ways to extend the capabilities of our platform by developing protocol proxies and file parsers from the ground up.
Architect for Performance : Write clear, maintainable, and highly performant C++ code designed for low-latency environments.
Collaborative Defense : Work with our Operations teams to translate real-world threat intelligence into robust detection logic algorithms.
Quality Guardrails : Participate in rigorous code reviews and use TDD (Test Driven Development) to ensure our codebase remains world-class.
Optimization : Perform deep-dive performance tuning on Linux, utilizing tools like vTune, perf, or gprof to squeeze every bit of efficiency out of the system.
Deploy, Operate, & Monitor : Own the full lifecycle of the product including deployment to live sites, monitoring performance, and ensuring correct operation of new features.
Core Requirements:
- Significant experience writing high throughput and/or low latency applications in C++.
- Proven ability to learn quickly and solve significant problems with minimal direction.
- Willingness to perform deep research and/or reverse engineer poorly documented standards.
- Experience with either application layer protocol parsing or file format parsing is highly desirable.
- Experience with performance tuning on Linux is also highly desirable – both full system (vTune, perf, gprof, etc.) and micro-benchmarking approaches.
- Familiarity with basic function of major kernel subsystems (network stack, memory management, process/thread management, etc.) is preferred.
- Familiarity with issues surrounding application layer proxying of network protocols is also a plus.
- Experience working with SQL and NoSQL databases (e.g. PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch, MongoDB, Redis).
- Experience with Infrastructure as Code, the ELK stack, and other monitoring tools.
- Comfortable working in Linux development environment.
- Strong understanding of computer security principles.
- Interest in solving problems and the desire to never stop learning.
- Experience with TDD and testing frameworks.
- Experience with Continuous Integration / Deployment is a plus.
- Bachelors degree in Computer Science, Technology, Engineering, or Math is preferred.
- Ability to work on a highly technical team supporting engineers as our “customers” is required.
- Must possess the highest level of personal integrity, value team success over individual achievement, and enjoy working on a fully remote team in a very high tech environment.
Why Join Us?
You’ll be given the keys to a complex, high-speed environment where your work has immediate, tangible results. No red tape. No hovering managers. Just hard problems, a talented team, and a key role in helping to define the network security of the future.
