Staff Software Engineer – Security Agent

About This Opportunity

We are representing a confidential cloud security organization seeking a Staff Software Engineer to join their Security Agent team. This role offers the opportunity to lead the design and development of low-level Linux instrumentation and runtime security technologies that help customers detect threats, monitor system activity, and protect cloud-native workloads at scale.

You will tackle complex technical challenges involving eBPF, Linux kernel internals, performance-sensitive systems, and large-scale data collection while influencing technical direction across multiple product teams. This position provides significant ownership, broad organizational impact, and the opportunity to shape the future of a leading security platform.

Responsibilities

• Lead the architecture and development of security agent capabilities that power runtime threat detection and workload protection across security products
• Design and build reusable eBPF-based monitoring functionality for process, file, and network visibility within Linux environments
• Drive end-to-end delivery of new features, from technical strategy and design through implementation, testing, and rollout
• Establish and evolve testing methodologies that improve platform coverage, detection quality, reliability, and performance
• Partner with product, security, infrastructure, and engineering teams to deliver shared platform capabilities used across multiple products
• Provide technical leadership by influencing engineering direction, mentoring peers, and helping resolve complex cross-functional challenges

What We're Looking For

• Significant experience building software in Linux environments, including knowledge of Linux internals, kernel APIs, or systems programming
• Hands-on experience with eBPF, kernel-level instrumentation, driver development, networking systems, agent development, or related low-level technologies
• Proven track record of building and running systems where performance and reliability matter
• Experience building and maintaining production software across diverse Linux distributions and kernel versions
• Product-minded and customer-focused approach, balancing technical excellence with customer impact and usability
• Staff-level engineering experience with demonstrated technical leadership
