Remote Software Technical Writer Jobs in Rhode Island

About the Role

We are hiring a C++ Software Engineer to join our growing Endpoint State and Control team, focused on defining and enforcing endpoint behavior across a managed environment.

• Comfortable asking questions and working in an environment where some

answers are still being discovered

• Comfortable adapting workflows to incorporate AI tools
• Strong learning orientation - ability to ramp on new systems, APIs, and

• Familiarity with CMake + vcpkg build environments
• Experience with test frameworks that support mocking or dependency injection
