Full Job Description
The Opportunity:

We're looking for an experienced Windows endpoint developer with deep knowledge of the Windows API, system internals, device management, and security.

As a Software Engineer at Iru, you'll help design, build, and evolve our proprietary Windows agent - the software responsible for secure, scalable endpoint management across modern enterprise environments. You'll work closely with cross-platform engineers and product teams to deliver performant, reliable, and secure solutions that extend Iru's reach across Windows ecosystems.

How You Will Make a Difference Day to Day:

  • Develop and maintain production-grade code for the Windows agent and supporting tools.
  • Design and implement features that operate close to the OS, leveraging Windows APIs and system internals.
  • Debug, optimize, and secure system-level code in complex enterprise environments.
  • Collaborate with engineers across macOS and Windows to ensure consistency and shared architecture.
  • Research, prototype, and ship new functionality that enhances endpoint visibility, security, and manageability.
  • Participate in Agile development practices, CI/CD workflows, and rigorous code review processes.
  • Drive software quality by writing modular, testable, and maintainable code.


Minimum Qualifications:

  • We're seeking engineers with a strong foundation in Windows system development and a passion for writing secure, performant, and maintainable code.
  • Languages: Proficiency in Rust, C, and C++ - with an ability to move between languages as needed for low-level system integration.
  • Rust FFI: Experience interfacing Rust with native Windows APIs or C/C++ libraries using Foreign Function Interfaces.
  • Windows API (Win32 & COM): Deep understanding of core Windows system APIs, interprocess communication mechanisms, and COM-based architecture.
  • Windows Internals: Familiarity with process management, memory handling, thread scheduling, I/O subsystems, and registry operations.
  • Windows Services: Experience building and maintaining long-running background processes or daemons for enterprise systems.
  • Inter-Process Communication (IPC): Knowledge of named pipes, shared memory, sockets, and message-passing architectures for robust cross-process communication.
  • Software Plugin Architecture: Ability to design modular systems that support extensibility and dynamic component loading.
  • Software Deployment Strategies: Experience designing and managing upgrade-safe, automated deployment and update mechanisms.
  • Windows Installer (WiX MSI, Bootstrapper): Hands-on experience packaging, installing, and updating Windows applications with custom actions or bootstrap logic.
  • Public Key Infrastructure (PKI): Understanding of certificate chains, signing, and validation used in secure communications and code signing.
  • X.509 Certificate Management: Experience with issuing, renewing, and validating digital certificates within enterprise systems.
  • Cryptographic Key Management: Knowledge of key generation, storage, and signing using hardware- or software-based cryptographic providers.
  • TPM Architecture: Understanding of Trusted Platform Module capabilities for hardware-backed security and attestation.
  • Automation and Scripting: Proficiency in PowerShell or batch scripting for diagnostics, deployment, or system configuration.
  • Required to work on-site 3x a week in our Miami office (Coral Gables).


Nice-to-Haves:

  • Kernel Driver Development: Experience writing or debugging kernel-mode drivers, filter drivers, or working with the Windows Driver Framework (WDF).
  • UI Development with WinUI 3: Familiarity with building native Windows UIs using modern frameworks like WinUI and Windows App SDK.
  • UI Design Patterns (MVVM): Understanding of Model-View-ViewModel and other architectural patterns for clean separation of concerns in desktop applications.
  • MDM Protocol: Experience implementing or interacting with Mobile Device Management (MDM) protocols for Windows device enrollment, configuration, and compliance.
  • Windows Security: Understanding of access control models (ACLs, SDDL), encryption and data protection (DPAPI), and secure credential handling.
  • Cross-Platform Agent Development: Exposure to multi-OS agent design (macOS, Linux, Windows) for consistent policy enforcement and data collection.
  • Security or Endpoint Management Experience: Background in developing or operating large-scale endpoint security or device management platforms.
  • Performance Profiling: Familiarity with profiling tools and techniques for diagnosing low-level system performance issues.
