Description

Title: Senior C++ Software Developer Location: Boca Raton, FL (4 days/week onsite) Duration: Full Time ABOUT THE ROLE We are building the next generation of enterprise software — a platform trusted by some of the world's largest organizations to secure and streamline how their people work. At the core of our product is a highly customized, large-scale browser engine, and we are looking for a Senior C++ Engineer to go deep into that codebase and help us solve real enterprise problems. You will be part of a focused R&D group that owns features end-to-end: from research and architectural design through to production. This is hands-on, high-impact work on a codebase that very few engineers in the world ever get to touch. WHAT YOU WILL DO Dive deep into a large, complex open-source browser engine codebase to research, design, and implement enterprise-grade features Take end-to-end ownership of features — from initial research and architecture through to shipping and production Collaborate closely with product, web development, security, and field engineering teams Engage directly with enterprise customer challenges and translate them into robust technical solutions Work across Windows, macOS, and Linux in a true multi-platform environment WHAT YOU NEED 6+ years of hands-on low-level software development in C++ or C, ideally using modern standards (C++17/20) Deep understanding of systems internals — OS concepts, memory management, process and thread models Demonstrated ability to navigate, understand, and contribute to very large, unfamiliar codebases Experience building large-scale, real-time, multi-platform applications Strong low-level design instincts and the ability to reason about performance and correctness simultaneously NICE TO HAVE Familiarity with network protocols and network topology — TCP/IP, TLS, proxies Understanding of browser security concepts: sandboxing, content security policy (CSP), certificate handling, site isolation Prior experience with the Chromium codebase or browser extension development Academic or industry research background in operating systems, compilers, or computer architecture WHO THRIVES HERE You do not need to have built a browser before. What matters is that you are the kind of engineer who has always been pulled toward how systems actually work — someone who read OS internals for fun, who gets excited when they have to trace a bug through three abstraction layers, and who finds large codebases energizing rather than daunting. If you were a STEM kid who taught yourself to code before anyone told you to, we want to meet you. Show more Show less
