About this role
Lead the design and development of a cross-platform endpoint security agent built in Rust, responsible for threat detection and prevention across Windows, Linux, and macOS.

What you'll do
- Architect and build the core endpoint security agent from the ground up with deep OS-level visibility
- Implement user-mode API interception, kernel-level behavioral analysis, and anti-tampering mechanisms
- Design cross-platform telemetry collection using Windows ETW, Linux eBPF, and macOS ESF
- Develop low-overhead threat detection heuristics and autonomous prevention capabilities
- Engineer resilient distributed systems with offline disk spooling and secure mTLS synchronization
- Lead technical decisions on self-healing architectures and fail-safe rollback mechanisms
What they're looking for
- Rust programming (high-performance, low-level)
- Windows OS internals (ETW, IPC, Named Pipes, Services, kernel drivers)
- Cross-platform telemetry (Linux eBPF, macOS ESF)
- Dynamic binary instrumentation and process injection
- Distributed systems design and optimization
- Endpoint security concepts and threat detection
- Systems-level programming and concurrent applications
- Anti-tampering and process protection mechanisms
