Job Description
Bit9 is building an essential security defense against advance persistent threats and malware through comprehensive measurement, detection, protection, and trust capabilities. Our work is deep inside operating systems-Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux-and we're looking for team members that like to pry them open and innovate in the gaps. You're probably a good fit for the team if:
• You're fluent in C++ (both OO and generic constructs).
• You can easily find your way around a storage stack, task scheduler, or virtual memory.
• You don't feel dirty poking around a core dump, reading assembly, or reverse engineering things.
• You relish hard problems in security, virtualization and stream processing.
• You have the computer science background to do so effectively and efficiently.
This position is focused on Linux, so familiarity with Linux security modules, loadable kernel modules, troubleshooting loadable kernel modules, is valuable. Experience with the C/C++, Boost, STD template library, and application debugging on Linux is a must. As a Senior Software Engineer, you will contribute to the development of major functional and component areas from inception through delivery.
Environment
You'll be part of a small team of smart talented people like yourself. The team shares a sense of purpose and urgency, but in a fun, friendly and informal atmosphere typical of young innovative technology companies. All doors are always open. You'll work on problems we haven't figured out and enjoy the satisfaction of having an impact on our success.
