About the Role:
We are looking for a Hands-on Software Engineer 4 to work on our Seeker Inline Agent for .NET — a dynamic application security testing (DAST) agent that instruments .NET applications at runtime to detect security vulnerabilities. You will work across C#, C++, and multiple .NET runtime versions to build and maintain profiler-based instrumentation, security checkers, and platform integrations.
 
Responsibilities:
  • Design, develop, and maintain the .NET agent core, including security checkers (SQLi, XSS, CSRF, deserialization, etc.) and taint analysis engine
  • Develop and optimize native C++ profilers using the CLR Profiling API for both .NET Framework and .NET Core/.NET 5+
  • Support multi-platform builds targeting Windows (x64), Linux (x64, ARM64), and Alpine/musl environments
  • Extend agent capabilities to new .NET versions (.NET 8, 9, 10+) and hosting models (AWS Lambda, Azure Functions, gRPC, OWIN, WCF)
  • Collaborate on CI/CD pipelines (GitLab CI) across multiple OS targets and Docker-based build environments
  • Write and maintain unit tests (NUnit) and integration tests across framework versions
  • Troubleshoot low-level runtime issues involving IL rewriting, method interception, and memory management
  • Participate in code reviews, architecture discussions, and contribute to build system improvements (Cake Build, CMake, MSBuild)
 
Required Skills:
  • 9+ years of professional software development experience
  • Strong C# proficiency across .NET Framework (3.5–4.8.1) and .NET Core/.NET 5+ (up to .NET 10)
  • C++ experience — working with native interop, COM, and platform APIs (CLR Profiling API is a strong plus)
  • Deep understanding of the .NET CLR internals — assembly loading, JIT compilation, IL metadata, type system
  • Experience with multi-platform development (Windows & Linux)
  • Proficiency with CMake, MSBuild, and complex build orchestration
  • Strong debugging skills — ability to diagnose issues across managed/native boundaries
  • Experience with Git and CI/CD pipelines (GitLab CI preferred)
 
Preferred Skills:
  • - Experience in application security, DAST/IAST, or security instrumentation
  • - Knowledge of OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities and detection techniques
  • - Experience with Docker containerization and multi-arch builds (x64, ARM64, Alpine)
  • - Familiarity with serverless platforms (AWS Lambda, Azure Functions)
  • - Experience with WiX installer authoring and NuGet packaging
  • - Knowledge of code obfuscation techniques
  • - Familiarity with logging frameworks (log4net, spdlog, NLog)
  • - Experience with WebSocket communication protocols

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
