Senior macOS C++ Software Engineer Cambridge

What will I be doing:

You will join the dedicated R&D teams in Cambridge that create and improve the products behind the company's rapid growth. Our software engineers work on a wide variety of projects and with a diverse toolset.

As a senior engineer within the Mac cSensor team, you will be focused on producing software designed to be deployed directly on customer devices to improve Darktrace's security coverage of devices outside the corporate network.

This is a hybrid role, and the expectation is to work at least 2 days a week in the Cambridge office.

As a senior engineer within the Mac cSensor team, you will be responsible for, but not limited to:

• Contributing to rapid prototyping of new and innovative ideas to further improve Darktrace's services and offerings,
• Improving on core software modules written in C++,
• Working with various component technologies and applications (e.g., Docker, Terraform).

Innovation is of paramount importance, and as such, creativity in approach is encouraged as much as traditional project-based development.

What experience do I need:

We welcome applications from engineers who have a solution-focused mindset combined with analytical approach and problem-solving skills. During the interview process, you'll be able to demonstrate your ability to program using C++ and show an understanding of writing code in a production environment. Additionally, it's likely that you'll have:

• Experience with writing and deploying software on devices using the MAC operating system,
• Experience working as a senior member of a small team,
• Experience developing kernel drivers,
• Understanding of Endpoint Detection Systems.

Benefits we offer:

• 23 days' holiday + all public holidays, rising to 25 days after 2 years of service,
• Additional day off for your birthday,
• Private medical insurance which covers you, your cohabiting partner, and children,
• Life insurance of 4 times your base salary,
• Salary sacrifice pension scheme,
