Principal software engineer

Experience: 10+ years Location: Noida Employment Type: Full‑time Team: Platform / Systems / Security Engineering

Role Summary

We’re looking for a Principal Software Engineer who combines deep systems expertise with security-first design. You will lead architecture and development across Linux kernel, boot loader, and user‑space middleware, building secure, reliable, and performant platforms that power our next-generation [products/platforms]. You’ll set technical direction, elevate engineering standards, mentor senior engineers, and partner with cross-functional stakeholders to deliver high-impact outcomes.

What You’ll Do

• Design and implement security features in boot loader complementing secure boot, measured boot, and chain of trust.

• Design and implement security features in Linux kernel features (e.g., device drivers, filesystems, networking stack, security modules).

• Build and optimize user‑space middleware (e.g., IPC frameworks, OpenSSL, DPDK) leveraging Userspace drivers.

• Implement and integrate security protocols (e.g., TLS 1.3, DTLS, IPsec, SSH,) and hardware-backed key management.

• Drive threat modeling, secure design reviews, and code audits, ensuring compliance with best practices (e.g., ASLR, stack canaries, SELinux/AppArmor policies).

• Lead performance and reliability engineering including profiling, tracing (ftrace, eBPF, perf), memory safety, and resource efficiency.

• Define platform CI/CD for low-level software (artifact signing, SBOMs, reproducible builds, Yocto/Buildroot/DEB/RPM pipelines).

• Mentor and grow engineers, guide technical roadmaps, and make pragmatic build/buy/OSS leverage decisions.
