The same systems work as our senior role, aimed at someone earlier in their career who gets real work done in a hard codebase with agentic tools. Systems programming has a reputation for being locked behind ten years of experience. We don't fully buy that. Someone with solid fundamentals, real curiosity about how machines work, and deep control of agentic coding tools can contribute here much sooner — as long as they have the judgment to check what the tools hand back. That judgment matters more here than almost anywhere: the agent runs as root and SYSTEM, and the codebase forbids unwrap, panic, and unchecked indexing, so you can't ship code you don't actually understand.
What you'll work on
Real pieces of the sensor across macOS and Windows: inventory, telemetry, the policy enforcement path, installers, and the integrations that hook into AI coding tools and browser extensions.
Moving through unfamiliar OS APIs quickly with agentic tools, then checking the result against the docs, the tests, and a real machine.
Small tools and tests that make the codebase easier for everyone to work in.
Tech you'll work with
The work is low-level systems development in Rust, close to the operating system across Windows, macOS, and Linux - memory, processes, files, and the OS internals that expose them. Alongside that, you'll lean hard on agentic coding tools; deep fluency with at least one is central to how we work, not a bonus. Expect to range across the stack - OS internals, AI tooling internals, CI, and a fair amount of reverse engineering — and to learn the parts you don't know yet.
What we're looking for (the part that matters most)
You've built real, working software and can show it. Projects that run count for more than a CV.
Deep, hands-on control of at least one agentic coding tool: you steer it, feed it the right context, and know when to trust it and when to verify.
Solid fundamentals (memory, processes, files) and enough systems knowledge to read what the tools produce and catch what's wrong.
The discipline to verify. Here, “it compiled” is not the same as “it's correct.”
Genuine curiosity about operating systems and low-level work, and drive to learn the parts you don't know yet.
Explicitly not required
A specific degree, a set number of years, or prior Rust or systems experience in a paid job. If you taught yourself this with good tools, that's the whole point.
