  • Bachelor’s degree (or higher) in Computer Science, Engineering, or another STEM discipline.
  • Strong problem-solving ability with an innovative and independent mindset.
  • Effective communication and teamwork skills.
  • C programming skills for low-level or performance-critical development.
  • Experience with containerisation (Docker, Kubernetes).
  • Familiarity with endpoint security, intrusion detection, or system hardening.
  • Contributions to Linux or open-source projects.
  • Experience with debugging, profiling, or performance optimisation tools.

Why Join Us?

  • Shape the future of secure endpoint technology.
  • Work on high-impact projects for global, high-profile clients.
  • Collaborate with a team of experts pushing the boundaries of Linux, networking, and security.
  • Competitive compensation and strong opportunities for professional growth.
