The Senior Software Engineer joins the Connected Warfare and Warfighter Systems teams to design, implement, and harden Android VMs running on crosvm. This role involves owning the virtualization stack end-to-end, including VMM configuration, device models, and guest kernel integration. You will build production-quality, security-hardened VMs by implementing secure boot, chain-of-trust, and sandboxing device backends to mitigate guest-to-host threat models. Key responsibilities include debugging across the hypervisor, guest kernel, and Android userspace while collaborating with platform and security teams. Required skills include systems programming in C/C++ and Rust, experience with crosvm, KVM, and virtio, and deep knowledge of Android platform security fundamentals like SELinux and verified boot. The work focuses on creating secure, time-sensitive connected mesh ecosystems for military command and control.
