Staff Windows Kernel Enforcement Architect

Shape Windows kernel enforcement architecture at BeyondTrust with AI-assisted development, cross-stack collaboration, and security-critical judgment.

This Staff Software Development Engineer owns the Windows surface of BeyondTrust’s shared Identity Security Platform. You will define kernel enforcement direction while partnering with Linux, macOS, and policy-backend engineers. The work covers policy semantics, event schemas, a common Rust agent, and container isolation.

Key Responsibilities:

• Set technical direction for Windows kernel-mode enforcement
• Coordinate policy semantics and event schemas across enforcement platforms
• Analyze requirements, identify risks, and explain architectural tradeoffs
• Own delivery from design through production release
• Guide senior and mid-level engineers through complex kernel work

Requirements:

• Deep Windows kernel expertise backed by production driver development
• Knowledge of Windows security tokens, SIDs, ACLs, and object management
• Understanding of kernel/user-mode system design tradeoffs
• Demonstrated AI-first development using Claude Code or comparable tooling
• Technical leadership across complex, ambiguous, multi-team initiatives

Bring Windows kernel authority, AI-first rigor, and architectural leadership to BeyondTrust’s identity security enforcement platform.
