The Opportunity:
We’re looking for an experienced Windows endpoint developer with deep knowledge of the Windows API, system internals, device management, and security.
As a Senior Software Engineer at Iru, you’ll help design, build, and evolve our proprietary Windows agent — the software responsible for secure, scalable endpoint management across modern enterprise environments. You’ll work closely with cross-platform engineers and product teams to deliver performant, reliable, and secure solutions that extend Iru’s reach across Windows ecosystems.
How You Will Make a Difference Day to Day:
- Develop and maintain production-grade code for the Windows agent and supporting tools.
- Design and implement features that operate close to the OS, leveraging Windows APIs and system internals.
- Debug, optimize, and secure system-level code in complex enterprise environments.
- Collaborate with engineers across macOS and Windows to ensure consistency and shared architecture.
- Research, prototype, and ship new functionality that enhances endpoint visibility, security, and manageability.
- Participate in Agile development practices, CI/CD workflows, and rigorous code review processes.
- Drive software quality by writing modular, testable, and maintainable code.
Minimum Qualifications:
We’re seeking engineers with a strong foundation in Windows system development and a passion for writing secure, performant, and maintainable code.
- Languages: Proficiency in C and C++ — with an ability to move between languages as needed for low-level system integration.
- Windows API (Win32 & COM): Deep understanding of core Windows system APIs, interprocess communication mechanisms, and COM-based architecture.
- : Familiarity with process management, memory handling, thread scheduling, I/O subsystems, and registry operations.
