• 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 building and running systems where performance and reliability are critical
