About the job
Your Impact
The VEN Policy Platform team is seeking a talented engineer with a strong background and interest in Networking, Operating Systems and System Software Development, who will work on our industry-leading Adaptive Segmentation Solution.
We are looking for an engineer to build C++ system services for the Illumio Virtual Enforcement Node — a software agent that runs inside application workloads to enforce security policies within the Illumio Adaptive Security Platform.
Your C++ code will be used in a lightweight agent that delivers micro-segmentation security by building on proven, pre-existing mechanisms inside both Unix (Linux, Solaris, AIX), Windows and MacOS operating systems, in order to minimize its footprint.
Your desire to help build system services, combined with your knowledge of operating systems, will be leveraged to build innovative solutions.
Your code will help to secure our customers’ most critical systems and applications.
You will have an immediate impact on features within Virtual Enforcement Node, from concept, design, and development, and you will learn from a talented team of engineers.
