Team members contribute throughout the development lifecycle, from writing technical specifications and coordinating implementation to demoing features internally, supporting launches, and ensuring our solutions are well-documented and maintainable. We also work closely with the support and QA teams to prepare for releases, debug early issues in the field, and ensure a smooth rollout experience. High engineering standards are central to our team culture, including thorough code reviews, rigorous testing, and shared responsibility for quality and reliability. We're looking for engineers who communicate clearly, work well with a wide range of collaborators, and enjoy building shared understanding across disciplines. The role suits people who are thoughtful partners to product managers and support teams, value feedback as part of the development process, and bring a sense of ownership and care to both their code and their collaboration. ## Description You will work in our Cyber R&D team, and use your knowledge of systems (Kernel, OS) level development to develop our Agent architecture.
