We’re about ten people, remote across North America. The surface area is wide for a team this size
- backend services, endpoint installers, and the web console
- and the same people who take a problem apart are the ones who ship it. We work closely with Product and our support teams to understand customer problems and see whether our solutions are working. Ownership here means carrying a solution through to the customer, not handing it off. You’ll set technical direction, raise the quality bar, and help other engineers grow through technical guidance, thoughtful reviews, and mentoring.

Lead complex technical initiatives from design through delivery across supported endpoint platforms, installation methods, packaging, upgrades, and customer environments. Establish and improve standards for software design, testing, release readiness, security, and operational supportability. Lead technical investigation and resolution of complex endpoint issues involving operating‑system integration, services,



permissions, networking, dependencies, compatibility, and performance. Drive release planning and readiness decisions, including risk assessment, validation expectations, staged rollout, rollback criteria, and stakeholder communication. Partner with Development/Engineering, Product, QA, Security, Support, and customer‑facing teams to balance quality, customer impact, security exposure, and delivery commitments. Mentor software developer and technical leads and influence technical decisions across teams without direct reporting authority. Prospect to shape and deliver security software changes across cloud services and endpoint systems that can reach millions of customer endpoints. Bachelor's degree plus 12 years of related experience; Master's degree plus 8 years; PhD plus 5 years; or equivalent related work experience. Experience developing and delivering production software used by customers. Technical leadership experience in Go or comparable systems languages.
