About this role:

Cilium Tetragon is a flexible, Kubernetes-aware security tool, with real-time observability and enforcement. Leveraging the power of eBPF, Tetragon offers a low-overhead, in-kernel solution that enhances security posture by monitoring system behaviors such as process executions, system call activities, network activity and file access events for both embedded systems and cloud native environments.

This role is for a Tetragon software engineer primarily with focus on developing the Tetragon agent, enablement for various embedded platforms and cloud environments, and developing Tetragon’s BPF programs that are loaded to detect and prevent malicious activity.

What you’ll do:

• Develop high-quality Go (and eBPF) code for the Tetragon project
• Be a part of the Tetragon, Cilium, and eBPF OSS communities
• Design and implement advanced eBPF-based runtime security mechanisms for embedded, Kubernetes and VM environments.
• Enhance and improve Tetragons network parser capabilities.
• Tackle challenging technical problems
• Participate in code reviews, architectural discussions, and contribute to technical documentation

Minimum Qualifications

• Computer Science degree, or equivalent experience
• 3+ years of experience in Systems programming
• Good communication skills, both written and verbal

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with embedded, Cloud Native workloads and/or distributed systems
• Experience in Linux system-level programming
• Experience with Network protocol parsing and/or networking infrastructure
• Knowledge about Linux kernel, especially for security and/or networking aspects
• Experience with eBPF

The flagship technology, Cilium, is the choice of numerous, industry-leading, global organizations.

Cilium Tetragon is a flexible, Kubernetes-aware security tool, with real-time observability and enforcement. Leveraging the power of eBPF, Tetragon offers a low-overhead, in kernel solution that enhances security posture by monitoring system behaviors such as process executions, system call activities, and both network and file access events.

Tetragon security engineers primarily focus on creating and maintaining Tetragon runtime security policies.

Policies can act either as a mitigation to known vulnerabilities or as monitoring and protection against unknown security issues.

• Develop and maintain Tetragon runtime security policies to monitor and protect against attacks
• Monitor vulnerability disclosures (CVEs) and develop Tetragon runtime security policies as mitigation against them.
• Interact with software engineers to improve and enhance the capabilities of Tetragon security policies
• Interact with solution architects and customers as necessary to support and deploy Tetragon security policies in production

Minimum Qualifications:

• 3+ years of experience working on Linux system security (e.g., capabilities, LSMs, etc.)
• 3+ years of experience with security vulnerabilities and their exploitation
• Experience with Linux kernel internals and system software design and implementation
• Good communication skills, both written and verbal

• Experience with eBPF (extended Berkeley Packet Filter) and its applications in security.
• Experience with the cloud-native ecosystem (containers, Kubernetes, etc.) and their Linux implementation (e.g., Linux cgroups, namespaces)
• Proven experience with developing and maintaining runtime security policies
