About The Role

We are seeking an experienced and passionate Linux Kernel Developer to join our EDR/XDR Agent/Sensor Development Team. The ideal candidate will have a minimum 6+ years of deep expertise in Linux internals, Linux Kernel Module (LKM) development, C/C++ programming, and a strong understanding of container technologies. You will be part of the EDR/XDR agent/sensor development team, responsible for building core components of our EDR/XDR agent/sensor that operates in both user-space and kernel-space, focusing on system monitoring, threat detection, and remediation within Linux environments, including containerised workloads.

What You’ll Do At Cyble

• Work alongside our senior lead kernel developers to design, develop, and maintain Linux Kernel Modules (LKMs) for various EDR/XDR modules.
• Write LKMs for device management capabilities like USB and Bluetooth device controls within Linux environments.
• Develop user-mode services that interface with kernel modules for event processing, policy enforcement, and interaction with container runtimes.
• Implement real-time remediation actions such as process termination, file deletion/quarantining, and system snapshot/restore functionalities.
• Debug and resolve kernel panics, race conditions, memory leaks, and performance bottlenecks in kernel and user-space components.
• Develop and enhance monitoring capabilities for containerized environments (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes), understanding interactions between the host and containers, and leveraging kernel features like namespaces and cgroups.
• Integrate with backend admin consoles using various integration methods and data exchange formats like JSON and Protobuf.
• Integrate with Threat Intelligence Systems and other downstream components.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (security analysts, product managers, QA) to translate detection use cases into scalable agent capabilities for Linux and container environments.
  
  

What You’ll Need

• Strong proficiency in C and C++, including multithreading and synchronization primitives.
• Deep knowledge of Linux OS internals (e.g., process management, memory management, VFS, system call interface, scheduling, namespaces, cgroups).
• Experience in developing Linux Kernel Modules (LKMs); familiarity with frameworks like eBPF, kprobes, tracepoints, or Linux Security Modules (LSMs) is a plus.
• Strong understanding of Linux security architecture, process/thread management, file system architecture, and inter-process communication.
• Solid understanding of container technologies (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes, containerd, CRI-O) and their underlying kernel primitives.
• Experience in developing security solutions for containerized environments, including monitoring container activity and host-container interactions.
• Familiarity with monitoring frameworks and tools in Linux (e.g., Auditd, perf, ftrace, SystemTap).
• Hands-on experience implementing kernel hooks and callback mechanisms; strong experience in writing user-mode code interacting with kernel components.
• Experience writing components that perform YARA rule lookups.
• Experience with kernel telemetry pipelines (e.g., using eBPF, Auditd, or custom solutions).
• Proven experience writing kernel/user-mode hooks for events such as process creation/execution, library loading, file system changes, network activity, and device access (e.g., USB, Bluetooth).
• Proficiency in building remediation components for various threat categories.
• Familiarity with Linux debugging tools (e.g., GDB, KGDB, crash, ftrace, perf) and analyzing kernel panic dumps.
• Understanding of endpoint security concepts, including EDR/XDR product behavior.
  
  

Cyble offers

• A dynamic and collaborative work environment.
• Opportunities for learning and career growth.
• Mentorship from experienced developers to guide you in advancing your skills.
