Endpoint Engineer; Senior Rust​/C++ Developer

Overview

As AI adoption accelerates inside the enterprise, Harmonic's ability to safely observe, control, and enforce policy at the endpoint is mission-critical. This role sits at the core of that challenge. As an endpoint engineer, you'll help build and evolve the low-level, security-critical client software that powers Harmonic's platform. Our software must be fast, resilient, and trustworthy across operating systems and real-world conditions.

You ll have the opportunity to shape foundational agent architecture, influence how we collect and process signals on-device, and set the technical bar for correctness and safety as we define a new category of AI security. About the Team Our Product Delivery team is the engine that turns vision into impact. We ship early and often, getting valuable features into the hands of customers quickly and iterating from there.

We work in the open by default, sharing progress and ideas, and we trust each other to own outcomes. We re a small but mighty crew where every person plays a critical role and we re committed to using AI to work smarter and faster, We re looking for a hands-on systems engineer with deep expertise in Rust (or C++ with a strong willingness to learn and embrace Rust as your primary language) to help us build and evolve security critical client software.

You will work on low level security agents and cross platform components that run on user devices, with a strong emphasis on robustness, performance and security. Your work will power core functionality in how we collect signals, and manage on-device controls for app usage and data movement. You will join a fast-moving team that ships frequently and cares about correctness, observability and maintainability.

• Design, implement, and optimise endpoint security agent components in Rust, targeting desktop and/or server platforms (Windows, macOS, Linux)
• Build robust tests, validation tooling and deployment mechanisms for client facing releases that impact our customers in their everyday work
• Conduct exploratory technical research to understand the art of the possible and how to best approach implementation of new product features
• Investigate and resolve platform specific issues with precision and speed
• Work closely with security engineers, backend engineers, and product stakeholders to shape technical requirements
• Flourish in the Unknown:
  We relish being thrown into new, unfamiliar situations that require initiative and rapid decision-making. We orient ourselves quickly and deliver results with minimal guidance.
• Never Full:
  We never hesitate to raise our hands and take on challenges to assist those in need. We hunger for opportunities to learn and do more.
• Perfect Harmony:
  We have a genuine willingness to assist and support one another to create cohesion and unity. We foster success through collaboration and honest sharing of feedback and ideas, enabling everyone to grow and produce their best work.
• You ve shipped production Rust or C++ code that runs safely and efficiently across platforms
• Your components are well tested, observable, and resilient to partial failures or bad input
• You identify performance or architectural bottlenecks before they reach users
• You actively reduce complexity in critical code paths without compromising clarity or functionality
• You consistently deliver high-quality changes on a tight feedback loop, including regression-safe updates

• Strong hands-on experience with Rust (or C++ with a strong willingness to learn Rust) in production systems
• Solid grasp of systems programming concepts: memory safety, lifetimes, threads, channels, error handling, IPC
• Familiarity with platform APIs and subsystems on Linux, Windows and macOS
• Experience building CI-tested, reproducible builds for native applications
• Proficiency with common developer tooling:
  Git, code review, CI pipelines, structured logging, crash analytics
• Networking skills and security fundamentals is a plus

• Have a strong development background and a rigorous approach to testing and validation
• Relish the prospect of writing code that will run on millions of devices and needs to be reliable…
