We are looking for a Senior Staff C++ Engineer to join our Tel Aviv R&D center and take a key engineering role within the Cross Platform Agent team.
Key Responsibilities
Lead the design and implementation of critical Cortex Agent components deployed across endpoint platforms (Windows, macOS, Linux) and cloud-native environments.
Build and maintain high-quality, production-grade software in modern, high-performance C++, owning the full lifecycle from design and implementation through automated test development and production support, including the handling of escalated cases.
Own the ongoing maintenance, hardening, and operational stability of the Defender in cloud-native environments.
Own the reliability and operational stability of the Defender components written in Go (Golang), focusing on production support, incident investigation, root-cause analysis, and hardening in large-scale cloud-native customer environments.
Address complex security, reliability, and performance challenges across large-scale endpoint fleets and distributed cloud environments, including Kubernetes, containers, and container runtimes.
Investigate and resolve complex production and field issues, translating operational insights into scalable, resilient, and efficient system improvements.
Raise the bar on engineering quality by effectively leveraging AI tools in software engineering, leading pragmatic design discussions, conducting focused code reviews, and continuously improving system robustness, correctness, and performance.

Requirements:
5+ years of hands-on experience developing production-grade systems in modern C++ (C++14/17/20).
Strong problem-solving skills and a proactive, hands-on mindset; able to work independently, operate effectively in ambiguous problem spaces, and collaborate to drive technical alignment within a team.
Proven ability to design, build, and own complex software components, contributing across the full software development lifecycle – from design through production support.
Solid experience with multi-threaded and multi-process systems, with a strong focus on performance, scalability, and efficient CPU and memory utilization.
Experience working in cloud-native environments, including Kubernetes, containers, and container runtimes (e.g., Docker, CRI-O).
B.Sc. in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience.
Preferred Qualifications
Background in cybersecurity, particularly in endpoint security, cloud security, EDR, or CDR systems.
Experience working with Go (Golang).
Understanding of Linux OS internals, including processes, memory management, syscalls, and userspace-kernel interactions, particularly in the context of cloud workloads.
Experience with low-level Linux observability or tracing technologies (e.g. ptrace, perf, fanotify).
Hands-on experience with major cloud providers (AWS, GCP, Azure and etc.) and their compute platforms (VMs, containers, serverless).
