Windows C++ Developer.

Who we are:

Adaptiq is a technology hub specializing in building, scaling, and supporting R&D teams for high-end, fast-growing product companies in a wide range of industries.

About the Product:

Our client delivers a unified, AI-powered cybersecurity platform that autonomously detects, protects, and responds to threats across large-scale Windows environments.

The solution integrates threat detection and response, endpoint protection, automated remediation, and 24×7 expert support into a single agent and console.

It addresses the growing complexity of modern cyber threats by simplifying security operations and reducing false positives.

The platform is deployed on hundreds of thousands to millions of Windows endpoints worldwide, handling high volumes of system logs, real-time events, and multithreaded processes across OS internals.

Key challenges include maintaining low-latency performance, deep integration with Windows OS internals, and delivering consistently high detection and protection rates under production-scale loads.

Independent industry evaluations validate the platform’s outstanding detection visibility, comprehensive technique coverage, and real-time protection performance.

Top-tier engineering talent is essential to drive continuous innovation, optimize low-level components, and ensure the agent’s reliability and efficiency at scale.

About the Role:

You will join a focused Windows engineering team as a core contributor to the endpoint detection and response (EDR) agent.

You will own the full lifecycle of critical features—from initial design and architecture through hands-on implementation, performance tuning, testing, and production integration.

Your contributions will include designing and implementing low-level services, drivers, and user-mode components, collaborating closely with security researchers and the product team to introduce advanced detection and protection capabilities.

You will troubleshoot complex customer escalations, perform kernel- and user-mode debugging, and continuously improve the agent’s performance and stability.

This role offers high autonomy, direct impact on a product deployed at massive scale, and collaboration with cross-functional teams in a fast-paced, agile R&D environment.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and implement Windows kernel drivers, services, and user-mode components for the EDR agent
• Collaborate with security researchers to develop and integrate advanced threat detection and protection capabilities
• Own features end-to-end: architecture, coding in modern C++, performance optimization, testing, and production rollout
• Debug and resolve complex issues from customer escalations, including remote debugging on live systems
• Optimize memory management, I/O throughput, threading, and synchronization for real-time performance
• Conduct code reviews and mentor peers to maintain high code quality and clean coding standards
• Develop and execute unit tests and automation scripts within the CI/CD pipeline
• Contribute to design sessions and technical discussions to shape product roadmap and R&D priorities

Required Competence and Skills:

• Minimum 5 years of professional C++ development experience on Windows platforms
• Proficiency in modern C++ (C++17 or later) and strong understanding of OOP and software design patterns
• Hands-on experience with Windows OS internals and WinAPI
• Expertise in multithreaded programming, synchronization mechanisms, and real-time processing
• Solid knowledge of memory management, I/O performance optimization, and low-level debugging
• Experience working with kernel-mode components and driver development
• Familiarity with performance tuning and stability engineering for production-scale applications

Nice to Have:

• Experience in security-focused development, EDR, or threat response solutions
• Background in reverse engineering, malware analysis, or low-level forensics
• Alumni of national cyber defense or military cyber units
