About The Role
As a Senior Software Engineer on the KEPM/EPM team, you will remain hands‑on building core endpoint privilege capabilities from agent behavior and policy enforcement to elevation workflows, auditing, and integrations that support enterprise IT and MSP environments. You’ll work closely with Product and QA Automation to deliver features end‑to‑end, with a strong focus on secure systems engineering, reliability, and testability across Windows, macOS, and/or Linux.
Responsibilities
Design, build, and maintain core KEPM/EPM capabilities, including policy evaluation, privilege enforcement, elevation workflows, and audit logging
Develop and harden endpoint agent components (services/daemons, installers/updaters, local policy caching, secure IPC) with a focus on security, reliability, and performance
Implement platform integrations and management‑plane capabilities (APIs, admin workflows, telemetry) to support enterprise deployment, monitoring, and troubleshooting
Partner with Product to review technical approaches, break down epics, and deliver incremental value through well‑scoped releases
Collaborate with QA Automation to expand test coverage (unit, integration, end‑to‑end), improve CI reliability, and build testable interfaces into agent and service components
Participate in security reviews and threat modeling; remediate vulnerabilities and improve tamper resistance and abuse prevention
Improve observability and diagnosability across components (structured logging, metrics, crash reporting, debug tooling)
Participate in on‑call and incident response as needed; contribute to postmortems and prevention measures
Requirements
5+ years of professional software engineering experience delivering production software
Proficiency in one or more systems/backend languages such as C/C++, Rust, Go, C#/.NET, or Java, with the ability to work across a multi‑language codebase
Experience building system‑level software (endpoint agents, desktop applications, services/daemons, security tooling, or device management components)
Strong understanding of OS security concepts and privilege models (least privilege, process execution, access control, secure update/signing patterns)
Experience debugging and optimizing complex software (concurrency, performance profiling, memory/threading issues)
Experience building automated tests and working in CI/CD environments; strong engineering hygiene around code review, testing, and documentation
Strong communication skills and ability to partner cross‑functionally with Product, QA, and Security
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with endpoint privilege management, EDR/EPP, device management, or identity/security products
Deep expertise in at least one endpoint OS ecosystem (Windows, macOS, or Linux) and its privilege/security model (services/daemons, elevation flows, packaging, and code signing)
Experience designing policy engines (rules evaluation, precedence, auditability, and explainability)
Familiarity with enterprise identity and integrations (SAML, OIDC, SCIM) and/or IT admin tooling and workflows (RMM/PSA, scripting, software deployment)
Exposure to secure SDLC practices and compliance‑minded engineering (e.g., SOC 2, FedRAMP, NIST)
