Description

We are looking for a Senior Staff Software Development Engineer to join our Client Connector Team. As a Senior Staff Engineer, you'll own critical service-layer components such as RPC, user session handling, data pipelines and help make CCA (Client Connector Agent) more stable, performant and maintainable.

Responsibilities:

  • Design and implement features across the CCA service, user-mode UI, and supporting subsystems (RPC server, session handler, data handler, tunnel telemetry).
  • Diagnose and fix complex production issues: service crashes, race conditions, lifetime bugs, and cross-process synchronization problems.
  • Improve reliability of long-running Windows service code, including cleanup/shutdown paths and inter-process communication.
  • Work on VDI-specific flows (e.g., ZCC VDI SMB tunnel traffic accounting, session lifecycle).
  • Review peers' code, raise the quality bar, and mentor other engineers on Windows systems programming.

Requirements:

  • Foundational understanding of AI/ML technologies and experience leveraging, securing, or positioning AI-driven solutions to optimize outcomes within your functional domain.
  • 8+ years of production software engineering, with strong C++ (C++14/17), Rust language experience.
  • Solid grasp of Windows internals: services, user sessions, security tokens, IPC, and process/thread lifetime.
  • Experience debugging multithreaded C++: races, deadlocks, iterator invalidation, use-after-free.
  • Track record of shipping and maintaining an enterprise desktop or endpoint product.

Benefits:

  • Various health plans.
  • Time off plans for vacation and sick time.
  • Parental leave options.
  • Retirement options.
  • Education reimbursement.
  • In-office perks, and more!
