Job description

As a key member of our engineering team, you will be responsible for building high‑performance software solutions using C and C++. You will contribute to the design and optimization of systems at the core of our products — from infrastructure components to real‑time applications.

Responsibilities

• Development of a standalone Windows‑based protection client (running in parallel with the game client)
• Detection of third‑party library injections (DLL Injection, Reflective Injection, Manual Mapping)
• Code patching or memory modifications (Code Patching, Inline Hooking)
• System and graphics API hooking (API Hooking, D3D/OpenGL Hooks)
• Unauthorized or hidden windows, overlays, and graphical injections
• Hardware spoofing, use of virtual machines, fake HID devices
• Implementing protection of own code against analysis, tampering, and dumping
• Monitoring input devices (mouse, keyboard, gamepads) to detect emulation or device substitution
• Ensuring a secure communication channel with the main client platform (Electron‑based)
• Logging and reporting of suspicious activities

Required Skills

• Strong proficiency in C/C++ and confident use of WinAPI
• Deep understanding of Windows internals: processes, threads, memory, virtualization, drivers
• Solid experience with multithreading, interprocess communication (IPC), memory protection, and synchronization
• In‑depth knowledge of injection, hooking, and code modification techniques
• Experience with graphics stack: D3D9/11, DXGI, OpenGL, Vulkan — including rendering interception and monitoring
• Hands‑on experience with reverse engineering: protected code analysis and bypass, PE format inspection, IDA Pro, disassembly
• Ability to implement anti‑debugging and self‑protection mechanisms (e.g. against debuggers, analysis, delayed execution)
• Understanding of the architecture and vulnerabilities of popular anticheat systems (VAC, EAC, BattleEye) — to avoid false positives and compatibility issues
• Input and device handling expertise: HID, XInput, DirectInput, Bluetooth
• Experience with virtual displays, screen capture, and video streaming (NVENC/NVDEC)
• Strong understanding of hardware spoofing risks: working with HWID, BIOS/SMBIOS data, virtualization, fake drivers/devices
• Experience in kernel‑mode driver development (WDF, UMDF, IddCx)
• Performance analysis skills: CPU/GPU profiling, optimization of resource‑intensive operations
• Nice to Have: Experience working with EDR/antivirus systems, or building custom monitoring and response tools
• Background in cross‑platform development (Windows/Linux)
• Knowledge of cryptography and secure data exchange protocols
