About the Role
This team is responsible for building a small kernel level sensor for multiple platforms including Windows, Mac, and Linux. Developers are expected to own the design and development of core features on the platform. Features will cross cut most core OS subsystems such as file system, memory and process, and networking. Interns on this team are expected to work directly under a manager and champion for 40 hours per week on projects.
We’re a highly collaborative, friendly, inclusive and diverse group that prizes collaboration over competition. We provide opportunities to learn new skills, be mentored by fellow engineers, and contribute to the direction of both the team and the products for which we’re responsible. We work in a distributed, remote-first, high-trust environment where you manage your own time and have the flexibility to balance your work and personal life.
