Lead Developer (Windows Endpoint)

Lead Developer - Windows Endpoint

About the Role

You’ll be working as a lead software developer on our Agent Client team, responsible for delivering the endpoint Windows software that helps solve the real-world security problems that IT professionals face. We develop the internal tools used by the security services team to keep our customers safe and informed. You are a fully qualified, experienced professional for this journey-level role.

A lead developer is responsible for providing the team technical direction to deliver high value, performant software solutions. The lead developer will provide technical guidance and direction to a team of developers through the design, implementation and automated/integration testing of our software. They will also provide guidance on best practices for running, monitoring, and maintaining our system. This is different from a Team Lead. The Team lead is responsible for leading the team and projects that team works on.

Some of your day-to-day responsibilities will be:

• Influence the work of team members, and mentor emerging technical leaders.

• Demonstrate advanced, wide-ranging experience, using in-depth professional knowledge, acumen, concepts and company objectives to develop, resolve complex models and procedures. Provides solutions to issues in creative and effective ways. Understands the interrelationships of different disciplines. Directs the application of existing principles and guides development of new policies and ideas. Build well-designed, testable, efficient, secure code.

• Share your deep understanding of the product and how Security Services delivers the service.

• Understand and work on complex issues where analysis of situations or data requires an in-depth evaluation of variable factors.

• Determine methods and procedures on new assignments.

• Exercise judgment in selecting methods, evaluating, adapting of complex techniques and evaluation criteria for obtaining results.

• Your work is reviewed upon completion and is consistent with departmental objectives.

• Contribute to the growth and mentorship of other team members

• Develop trusted cross-team relationships to deliver solutions that span multiple areas of expertise

We value a culture of sharing, so every team has the opportunity to share their work with the entire department during our regular R&D Demos. Once a year we hold a department-wide Hackathon, teaming up across all R&D teams over four days to collaborate and build cool ideas outside the normal project scope. While innovation is the focus, some of these ideas do make it into our products.
