JOB OVERVIEW 

ThreatLocker is seeking a highly skilled and self-driven Windows Service Developer to join our cybersecurity engineering team. In this role, you will design, implement, and optimize high-performance background services in C#/.NET, with a strong focus on Windows OS internals. These services are critical components of ThreatLocker’s endpoint protection platform — defending systems from the inside out. 

The ideal candidate is an expert developer with a deep understanding of Windows architecture, secure coding practices, and performance optimization. You will work closely with system internals, file systems, and network layers to build resilient, scalable, and secure service components. 

We value developers who think like attackers, engineers with precision, and debug like forensic analysts. 

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Design, develop, and maintain robust Windows Services using C#/.NET, with a focus on security, performance, and reliability. 
  • Work with low-level Windows components, including Windows APIs, file system hooks, and network stack integration. 
  • Implement advanced cybersecurity features, such as privilege control, intrusion prevention, and data protection mechanisms. 
  • Diagnose and resolve complex issues involving system performance, concurrency, memory management, and network communication. 
  • Collaborate across teams to ensure services align with enterprise security and compliance standards. 
  • Participate in code reviews, share best practices, and contribute to a clean, maintainable codebase. 
  • Continuously improve service resilience, monitoring, and observability with a proactive mindset. 

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

  • Expert-level proficiency in C#/.NET Framework and .NET Core, including asynchronous programming and multithreading. 
  • Strong understanding of Windows internals: services, registry, process lifecycle, and kernel-level concepts. 
  • Solid grasp of network protocols (TCP/IP, HTTP/S, DNS) and experience with network control or firewall-level filtering. 
  • Hands-on experience with debugging and profiling tools (e.g., WinDbg, Process Monitor). 
  • Familiarity with SQL Server, including stored procedures and index optimization. 
  • Experience designing and consuming RESTful APIs. 
  • Strong understanding of secure coding practices and software design patterns. 
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent hands-on experience. 

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS IN

  • Experience with C/C++ interop, kernel development, or Windows filter drivers. 
  • Proven ability to design highly concurrent, long-running Windows Services with efficient resource management. 
  • Familiarity with endpoint protection, EDR, or network monitoring technologies. 
  • Understanding of containerized environments and DevOps pipelines for service deployment. 
  • Hands-on experience with GitHub Actions, CI/CD pipelines, and multi-target build orchestration (.NET Framework and .NET Core). 
  • Deep understanding of Windows security architecture, access control, and threat mitigation strategies. 
  • Microsoft or cybersecurity certifications are a strong plus.

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005

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.
