About the Role

Join the MetaDefender Endpoint team building OPSWAT's cross-platform endpoint security agent, deployed on millions of devices at governments, critical infrastructure operators, and large enterprises worldwide.

We are looking for an AI Native Senior Software Engineer who treats AI coding tools (GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, all licensed by OPSWAT) as core productivity multipliers, and who has the judgment to know when AI accelerates work and when traditional engineering is the right call.

What You'll Do

• Design, build, and ship features across the MetaDefender Endpoint C++/Qt codebase (Windows primary; macOS and Linux supported).
• Use GitHub Copilot, and Claude Code daily to accelerate coding, testing, and documentation, while evaluating AI-generated code for correctness, security, and maintainability before it ships.
• Author and maintain AI context files for the modules you own, so agents produce consistent, on-pattern code across the team.
• Review code with a security-first lens, for both human- and AI-generated changes.
• Mentor teammates on effective AI tool usage and endpoint / security C++ best practices.

Required Qualifications

• 3+ years of professional C++ development experience.
• Strong fundamentals: memory management, concurrency, RAII, design patterns, secure coding.
• Experience shipping cross-platform desktop or endpoint software on Windows (macOS / Linux a plus).
• Debugging skills with WinDbg, lldb, or gdb.
• Unit testing experience with GoogleTest, Catch2, or equivalent.
• 1+ years of professional experience using AI-assisted development tools (GitHub Copilot, Cursor, or Claude Code) to ship production code, with judgment to evaluate AI-generated output before committing.

Preferred Qualifications

• Prior experience with endpoint security, AV / EDR, device control, or Windows internals.
• Experience authoring AI context files (CLAUDE.md, .github/copilot-instructions.md, .cursorrules) that encode architecture decisions and forbidden patterns.
• Familiarity with running AI agents in CI/CD pipelines (auto-fix lint, generate tests, triage failures).
• Secondary languages: Python or Go.
• Experience shipping Qt / QML applications across Windows, macOS, and Linux.
• Open-source contributions or personal projects that show how you work with AI tools.
