Principal Software Engineer (Sensor)

We're an early-stage company building innovative software solutions with a commitment to shipping rock-solid, reliable, safe software. We’re searching for someone who loves writing code that helps protect customers and frustrates the adversary. You’ve written serious software in a careful way, and you love scalable systems built right with small teams. Read more about us and our mission here.

In this role, you'll work on our innovative eBPF-based sensor that provides real-time visibility and control for Linux workloads across containers, virtual machines, and bare-metal servers. This technology is central to our identity-driven security approach.

The ideal candidate has experience with low-level systems programming (Rust preferred), a strong understanding of Linux internals, and familiarity with container technologies like Docker, Kubernetes, and cloud environments including AWS and GCP.

If you're passionate about building high-performance, security-focused software that operates reliably in production environments, we want to talk to you.
