## About the Role

* 5+ years of software engineering experience, including significant experience developing native Windows applications, services, or system-level components.
 * Strong programming expertise in Rust.
 * Deep understanding of Windows internals, including processes, threads, memory management, IPC, file systems, and networking.
 * Experience with Windows APIs such as Win32, ETW, WFP, Windows Services, or Windows SDK.
 * Strong knowledge of TCP/IP, DNS, TLS, HTTP/HTTPS, VPNs, proxies, and network traffic inspection.
 * Experience developing multithreaded, asynchronous, event-driven, or long-running background applications.
 * Understanding of secure coding practices, memory safety, concurrency, authentication, and encryption.
 * Experience debugging, profiling, and troubleshooting native Windows applications., * Experience building endpoint security, EDR, DLP, VPN, ZTNA, SASE, or enterprise device-management products.
 * Hands-on experience with WFP callouts, ETW providers/consumers, Windows Filtering Platform APIs, or native security event monitoring.
 * Experience with Windows kernel-mode development, file-system minifilter drivers, or Windows Driver Frameworks (WDF).
 * Experience on using on-device SLM (Small Language Models) is added advantage
 * Familiarity with Windows security architecture, access tokens, process privileges, service isolation, and protected processes.
 * Familiarity with Rust Tokio, Serde, windows/windows-sys crates, and native FFI integration.
 * Experience with gRPC, Protocol Buffers, and secure communication with cloud-based services.
 * Knowledge of Windows code signing, MSI/MSIX packaging, enterprise software deployment, and secure update mechanisms.
 * Familiarity with browser extensions, AI applications, or enterprise AI governance., Education: Bachelor's Degree preferred, or equivalent combination of education and relevant professional experience.

## Description

* Agents are part of the team. AI coding agents are built into how we design, build, test, and debug. Our approved tools include Claude Code, Cursor and GitHub Copilot.
 * Humans own the judgment. Engineers own architecture, security decisions, and final review, and are accountable for everything that ships.
 * Guardrails are first-class work. Excellent documentation, strong CI, and test automation are what let us move fast safely. We build on each other's work. Reusable agent skills, prompts are tooling means you start productive on day one and every improvement benefits the whole team.

What You'll Do

Architecture & Foundations

 * Make the foundational architecture decisions for the Elara Windows agent, and co-design the shared components across platforms.
 * Write specs, design docs, and interface contracts clear enough for both engineers and AI agents to execute against.
 * Build the guardrails that make agent-assisted development safe., * Design, develop, and maintain native Windows endpoint security agents using Rust and Windows system APIs.
 * Integrate with Event Tracing for Windows (ETW), Windows Filtering Platform (WFP), Win32 APIs, and Windows Services for process monitoring, network visibility, and security enforcement.
 * Build reusable cross-platform security components and native Windows integrations for enterprise endpoint environments.

Performance, Reliability & Security

 * Optimize CPU utilization, memory footprint, event-processing throughput, and latency for continuously running Windows services.
 * Build resilient background services with crash recovery, secure installation, updates, and tamper-resistance mechanisms.
 * Troubleshoot complex Windows issues using WinDbg, ETW tracing, Windows Performance Analyzer, and other native debugging tools.
