About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Design, implement, and own core sensor infrastructure components: network communications stack, connection lifecycle and traffic management, cryptographic integration, content delivery, and on-device secure storage
Take end-to-end ownership of your work — from design through production validation across Windows, Linux, and macOS, including the testing and rollback story
Serve as a technical integration point with sensor, cloud communication, and policy teams; proactively own interface contracts and surface breaking changes early
Drive technical proposals and design docs; lead design reviews for your area and provide substantive review feedback that raises the bar for the whole team
Represent the team's technical position in cross-org planning and architecture discussions; communicate tradeoffs and risks clearly to engineering, product, and program partners
Participate in planning; help scope work, identify dependencies, and flag technical risk early
Mentor and grow more junior engineers through direct feedback, pairing, and collaborative code and design review
Investigate and resolve production incidents and complex escalations; build the team's shared knowledge of failure modes at fleet scale
Champion improvements in end-to-end testing and validation for components with strict correctness and reliability requirements.

Requirements

What you’ll need

Strong foundation in systems software engineering; hands-on experience in C and/or C++ in a low-level systems context
Solid technical grounding in network protocols, connection management, and traffic and protocol management; working familiarity with cryptographic integration and content delivery
A "learn it all" mindset with curiosity to dive deep into unfamiliar domains and adapt quickly as technology and requirements evolve
Experience reasoning about reliability and correctness for software that runs at endpoint fleet scale
Cross-platform exposure across Windows, Linux, and/or macOS; ability to reason about portability, behavioral consistency, and platform-specific constraints
Solid design and problem-solving instincts; ability to own ambiguous technical problems and drive them to clean resolution
Ability to influence technical direction across team boundaries without direct authority, using design docs, prototypes, and well-reasoned technical positions
Strong written and verbal communication; able to convey complex technical topics clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences
Strong engineering fundamentals: testable, reviewable code; careful about edge cases; high personal bar
Ability and willingness to travel occasionally for team offsites and in-person meetings
Proven experience utilizing AI technologies to enhance decision-making, streamline workflows and processes, improve efficiency and drive business outcomes.
