Systems & Kernel Software Engineer

What you'll do

• Design security hardening approaches ranging from memory safety adoptions to broad codebase refactors.
• Write production-quality low-level code in C, C++, or Swift for kernels, drivers, and firmware.
• Balance security requirements against system performance, memory footprint, and device compatibility.
• Debug and perform thorough testing to ensure end-to-end validation of security mitigations.
• Evaluate and utilize modern tooling, including LLMs, to accelerate security engineering tasks.
• Create technical documentation and training materials for partner teams to maintain new security features.

What we're looking for

• BS in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent experience.
• Working knowledge of C and expertise in one or more systems programming languages such as C, C++, Rust, Zig, or Swift.
• Experience writing low-level software such as kernels, drivers, firmware, bootloaders, hypervisors, or runtimes.
• Understanding of how low-level code is compiled to machine code and interacts with hardware.
• Experience with, or an interest in, software security.
• Strong written and verbal communication.
• Understanding of the security properties of common systems languages (preferred).
• Understanding of common vulnerability exploitation and mitigation techniques (preferred).
