This innovative R&D team work on endpoint software security products utilising hardware assisted virtualization technologies. Some of their products exist in the hands of millions of users around the world and others remain internal research projects. In this role you will be designing and developing new features and products as well as providing maintenance and support for existing code. This includes introducing new security algorithms, improving performance, writing unit and automated tests, and fixing security vulnerabilities. Code is predominantly written in C and C++ and mainly targets the Linux operating system although there is some crossover with projects targeting Windows.

1. Excellent programming experience in C/C++
2. Good practical knowledge developing for User-mode Linux (UML)
3. Understanding of public key infrastructure (PKI) and other uses of cryptography
4. Understanding of the OSI network model, especially the TCP/IP protocols
Additional knowledge or experience in any of the following would be beneficial but is not required: Linux kernel development, the Yocto Project, x86-64 architecture, and Trusted Platform Modules (TPM).

Typical weeks are 37.5 hours with 2/3 days at home possible. Benefits include purchasing additional holiday beyond the standard 25 days plus bank holidays, a matched contribution pension scheme, and health and dental insurance which can be extended to cover family members.
