## Description

We are looking for a Founding Senior Linux Endpoint Engineer to lead the development of our Linux endpoint platform.

As one of the first Linux engineers on the team, you will play a key role in defining the architecture, designing core components, and building a production-ready Linux endpoint agent from scratch. You'll work closely with the existing macOS and Windows engineering teams while driving the technical direction of Linux development.

This is a highly impactful role for someone who enjoys solving complex systems problems, building products from the ground up, and taking ownership in a fast-moving startup environment.

Responsibilities

 * Design and build a production-grade Linux endpoint agent from the ground up.
 * Develop kernel-space and user-space components for endpoint protection.
 * Design scalable architecture for Linux endpoint capabilities.
 * Build security features for monitoring and protecting sensitive data across Linux systems.
 * Work with Linux kernel subsystems related to file systems, processes, networking, and security.
 * Collaborate closely with macOS and Windows engineering teams to ensure consistent cross-platform functionality.
 * Lead technical design discussions and make key architectural decisions.
 * Own features end-to-end, from design and implementation to testing and production deployment.
 * Troubleshoot and resolve complex Linux kernel and system-level issues.
 * Mentor engineers as the Linux team grows and help establish engineering best practices.
