Systems Engineer - Linux Isolation & NetworkingLocations: Toronto, ON - 2 openings
Employment Type: Full-time
Job SummaryWe're hiring Systems Engineers to build the process-isolation, sandboxing, and network-interception infrastructure that enables secure workload execution across the Kaseya Intelligence Platform. This is low-level engineering at the Linux, networking, and process boundary rather than application-layer development. You'll build language-independent infrastructure that isolates workloads, protects credentials, and enforces security controls across multi-tenant environments.
Roles & Responsibilities- Build and operate a transparent sidecar proxy that intercepts outbound vendor API calls, enforces credential and compliance policies, and records tamper-evident audit events
- Implement process-isolation controls using Linux users and permissions, namespaces, cgroups, ptrace restrictions, protected memory, and explicit credential cleanup
- Evaluate and implement sandboxing approaches using technologies such as gVisor, Firecracker, WebAssembly runtimes, or Unix-domain-socket isolation
- Design infrastructure that enforces workload and customer boundaries across large numbers of isolated execution environments
- Evaluate and integrate workload identity and attestation technologies such as SPIFFE and SPIRE
- Implement secure workload startup sequencing, including KMS access, token preparation, network-rule installation, and readiness signalling
- Improve the performance, observability, reliability, and failure recovery of the execution and isolation layers
- Partner with Platform, Security, and Backend Engineering teams to define interfaces, investigate production issues, and deploy platform improvements
Required Qualifications- Experience developing production systems software using Go, Rust, C, or C++
- Experience working with Linux internals, including namespaces, cgroups, netfilter or iptables, sockets, and process lifecycle management
- Experience implementing or operating at least one sandboxing or workload-isolation technology, such as gVisor, Firecracker, WebAssembly, containers, or micro virtual machines
- Experience building networking infrastructure involving TCP/IP, transparent proxying, or TLS termination and origination
- Experience implementing process isolation, privilege separation, protected credential handling, or related operating-system security controls
Preferred Qualifications- Experience building or operating multi-tenant container, sandbox, or virtual-machine isolation infrastructure
- Experience with SPIFFE, SPIRE, or another workload identity and attestation framework
- Experience integrating AWS KMS, Azure Key Vault, GCP Cloud KMS, or similar key-management services
- Experience working on endpoint security, EDR, zero-trust networking, or infrastructure security products
- Experience with Kubernetes, container-runtime internals, or managed container platforms
- Experience with Temporal or another durable workflow execution platform
- Experience supporting systems subject to security, privacy, or compliance requirements
