Runtime Sensor Developer / eBPF expert

Job description

We’re looking for a senior software engineer (eBPF expert) with a hands-on mindset and passion for solving hardcore engineering challenges. 

Our client is a well-funded cybersecurity startup ($24M+ raised) building a real-time application detection & response platform. Using OpenTelemetry and trace analytics, their solution enables enterprises to stop attacks with in-application context into all runtime transactions and behaviors. The company’s mission is to stop app-layer breaches before they happen. 

What you'll do

In this role, you’ll write low-level code that hooks deep into runtimes and OS internals (via eBPF) to capture runtime data with near-zero overhead. Basically, you’re creating the “eyes and ears” inside applications, so we can detect intrusions as they happen.
You’ll be pushing the envelope of what eBPF and kernel tech can do: tracing syscalls, monitoring network flows, and intercepting anything attackers might exploit. Your work will help determine exploitability and flag compromises instantly – even for zero-day attacks that nobody has seen before.

This is a high-impact, experimental role: part engineer, part hacker – optimizing for performance and reliability while you’re bending the rules of the OS. If you love digging into assembly, performance tuning, and building tools that peer into the guts of running software, come join us. You’ll have the freedom to innovate at the lowest levels of the stack (and we promise, no boring corporate kernel modules here – only the fun stuff!).

What you have

Do you dream in C and know the Linux kernel like an old friend? We need an eBPF wizard to build the secret sauce of our ADR platform – our ultra-lightweight, in-app sensor. 

What’s in it for you

• Opportunity to become a part of a boutique software consultancy, working with well-known international customers and highly complex challenges
• Competitive salary
• Paid vacation and sick leave
• Remote-friendly culture
• Internal tech talks and mentorship
• Monthly health bonus (for gym, pool, tennis etc.) 
• Learning & development budget
• PE administration support
