Senior Windows kernel/internal Engineer (C++/C) IRC300926

Our client, an endpoint security company, is looking for an expert-level Windows Kernel Driver Specialist to join their engineering team in developing next-generation Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents. We are seeking an experienced individual to contribute to the development of cutting-edge collection, prevention, and protection technologies using both documented and undocumented proprietary kernel mode techniques.

Responsibilities

• Write kernel and Driver software that can reach the internals of the operating system.
• Implement novel collection and protection techniques.
• Write robust driver infrastructure.
• Optimize for extreme performance constraints.
• Research uncharted territories of the Windows kernel, drivers, APIs, and internal mechanisms.
• Crash Dump Analysis: Perform deep-dive analysis of kernel memory dumps to identify the root cause of the crash.
• Reproduction & Isolation: Design stress tests and verification procedures to reliably reproduce the BSOD in a controlled environment.
• Code Review & Remediation: Audit the existing C/C++ driver code for thread safety, proper lock usage, and memory handling.
• Patch Implementation: Implement robust fixes for the identified issues, ensuring zero regression in driver performance or security efficacy.
• Validation: Verify fixes using Microsoft Driver Verifier and HLK to ensure stability under high stress.

Requirements

• Required Hard Skills (The “Must-Haves”)

  • Expert C/C++: 3+ years of experience in strictly kernel-mode software development.
  • WinDbg Mastery: Ability to perform “post-mortem” debugging without symbols for third-party conflicts, and live kernel debugging using VMWare/Hyper-V/KDNET.
  • Windows Internal Knowledge: Deep understanding of IRQLs, Memory Management, and Synchronization primitives.
  • File System Filters: Proven experience with the Filter Manager Model and Minifilter drivers.
  • EDR/Security Driver Experience: Familiarity with ObCallbacks, Process/Thread/Image Load Notify routines, and avoiding deadlocks.

• Preferred Skills (The “Nice-to-Haves”)

  • Reverse Engineering: Proficiency with IDA Pro or Ghidra.
  • x64 Assembly: Ability to read disassembly to pinpoint the exact instruction causing the fault.
  • WHQL/WHCP: Experience with the Windows Hardware Compatibility Program and Microsoft Virus Initiative program.

We Offer

• Empowering Projects: Contribute to groundbreaking projects with 500+ clients across diverse industries.
• Empowering Growth: Foster a culture of continuous learning and professional development.
