Required Senior Software Engineer – Tetragon
Your Impact
Tetragon is a flexible, Kubernetes-aware security tool, with real-time observability and enforcement. Leveraging the power of eBPF, Tetragon offers a low-overhead, in-kernel solution that enhances security posture by monitoring system behaviors such as process executions, system call activities, network activity and file access events for both embedded systems and cloud native environments.
This role is for a Tetragon software engineer primarily with focus on developing the Tetragon agent, enablement for various embedded platforms and cloud environments, and developing Tetragons BPF programs that are loaded to detect and prevent malicious activity.
What youll do:
Develop high-quality Go (and eBPF) code for the Tetragon project
Be a part of the Tetragon, Cilium, and eBPF OSS communities
Design and implement advanced eBPF-based runtime security mechanisms for embedded, Kubernetes and VM environments.
Enhance and improve Tetragon's network parser capabilities.
Tackle challenging technical problems
Participate in code reviews, architectural discussions, and contribute to technical documentation.
