Role overview

As a Senior Software Engineer on the platform team at Everfox (London), you will work as a high performance individual contributor, as well as amplifying the work of others. The platform team is responsible for embedded software running on our hardware appliances, as well as full stack on‑prem web applications. As Everfox is a defense‑grade cybersecurity company, you will approach everything from a security‑first perspective, and have a deep understanding of cybersecurity. The software maintained by the platform team runs on hardware‑based security appliances for use in critical infrastructure and defense.

What the role entails

• Design, implement, and maintain embedded linux software written in C++, Rust, and Python
• Ensure that our software has a high level of unit and automated test coverage
• Debug system-level issues involving multiple software and hardware components
• Lead technical work, taking requirements and breaking down into smaller tasks to achieve a goal
• Collaborate and communicate effectively within the team, and across multiple teams in the engineering org
• Document technical information clearly to enable other developers
• Enable and unblock other developers, becoming a force multiplier who improves the effectiveness of the team overall
• Leverage large language models to assist with development tasks and review work

Key responsibilities

• Taking ownership of, and responsibility for development tasks and completing work to a high standard
• Reducing ambiguity by understanding requirements and scoping into smaller pieces of work
• Ensuring that technical information is communicated clearly
• Ensuring less senior developers on the team are not blocked
• Leveraging CI and automated testing to ensure that changes are integrated often
• Clearly highlighting and communicating any areas of project risk or uncertainty within development tasks

Qualifications

• Typically 5-7 years experience as a software engineer. However a track record of strong ability and effectiveness is what we look for - rather than number of years.
• An undergraduate degree in computer science, or a science / technology / engineering / mathematics related field.
• Engineering skills
• Modern C++17 (and later) for resource-contained, security critical devices
• Experience with Rust is beneficial, but not critical for the role
• Python development for tools, test frameworks, and on-prem web services
• Debugging system level issues across a whole stack of software components
• Thorough understanding of modern cryptography and cybersecurity
• Experience designing CI workflows (automated / unit testing, GitLab, Docker)
• Experience with OS hardening or mandatory access control policy, such as SELinux, is beneficial but not critical for the role
• Experience using LLMs to assist in development, review, and testing
• Experience orchestrating multiple agents to complete large development tasks is beneficial but not critical for the role

Coordination

• Proven ability to lead technical work: implement features from requirements, through to design, implementation, test, and release
• Coordinate with hardware designers, and other software teams
• Unblock and enable other developers as a force multiplier. Mentor other developers
• Clear communication is a must. Document requirements, implementations, and specs clearly

Compensation and Benefits

A reasonable estimate of the base salary range for this role is: £90,000.00-130,000.00 GBP

The actual salary offered may vary within the range based on a candidates' unique experience, locale, and business needs.
