Job Description – Endpoint Software Developer

Overview

We are seeking an experienced Endpoint Software Developer to design and build high-performance, low-overhead client software for Windows, macOS, and Linux environments. The ideal candidate has deep systems-level expertise, strong networking fundamentals, and hands-on experience working with modern endpoint technologies including eBPF, transparent proxies, and advanced packet inspection.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and optimize endpoint agents for Windows, macOS, and Linux that monitor system behavior, enforce policies, and enable secure communication with backend services.
• Leverage eBPF to build high-performance Linux endpoint components , including kernel-level monitoring, packet filtering, telemetry generation, and lightweight traffic inspection.
• Implement robust networking features within the endpoint—covering TCP / IP, SSL / TLS, HTTPS, SSE, WebSocket, and gRPC—to ensure secure and efficient data transfer.
• Build and maintain transparent proxy components to intercept, inspect, and route traffic without degrading system performance.
• Perform deep packet inspection (DPI) to identify patterns, enforce rules, or extract relevant metadata for security or analytics use cases.
• Implement and tune load balancing and SSL handling mechanisms , ensuring reliability and scalability across diverse device types and environments.
• Collaborate with platform, backend, and security teams to define data models, optimize communication flows, and integrate endpoint capabilities with cloud services.
• Conduct rigorous profiling, optimization, and debugging at both the kernel and user-space levels to ensure stability, reliability, and minimal resource consumption.
• Maintain strong code quality through thorough documentation, automated testing, CI / CD integration, and adherence to secure development practices.
