REMOTE Windows Endpoint Engineer / Agent Developer

Job Description

Job Description

Company: Candor Security (Seed, founded 2025, 1–10 employees) —

This is a REMOTE Role hiring in the US, LATAM and India

Compensation: $6,000–$15,000 / month (contract). Regional comps: India $6k–$8k/mo, LATAM $7k–$9k/mo, US $10k–$15k/mo. Experience: 5+ years. Visa sponsorship: none.

About the Role

Candor is bringing its data-loss-prevention engine down to the endpoint. The AI detection engine is being built in-house; this role owns the Windows endpoint agent end-to-end — defining the agent's internal structure, reverse-engineering the relevant Windows system APIs, and emitting the telemetry the platform needs (browser data uploads, endpoint data movement, web searches, file renaming, and other suspicious-activity indicators) streamed back to the backend. Teach-and-build role with substantial architectural latitude; a mistake at this layer can trigger blue screens across a customer fleet, so hands-on experience is essential.

What You'll Own

• Design, build, and ship the Windows endpoint agent end-to-end, from system-level telemetry capture to backend streaming
• Reverse-engineer and integrate the Windows system APIs required to observe data movement safely without destabilizing the OS
• Emit the defined telemetry set (browser data uploads, endpoint data movement, web searches, file renaming, and other indicators)
• Own customer deployment: MDM policy design, staged rollout, and safe agent update mechanisms
• Set and evolve the agent architecture and level up a technical founding team

Must-Have

1. Proven experience building and shipping production Windows endpoint agents end-to-end
2. Deep familiarity with Windows system internals and collecting telemetry safely without instability/BSODs
3. Proficiency in Rust (or willingness to build in Rust); strong C++ acceptable with a clear rationale
4. Hands-on deploying endpoint agents at customer scale — MDM policy design, staged rollout, update delivery
5. High autonomy and strong communication; able to lead architecture and teach a technical founder

Nice-to-Have

• Prior DLP or insider-risk experience (Palo Alto Networks, CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, Cyberhaven, Microsoft Defender)
• Agents across both Windows and macOS
• Early-stage startup experience
• Browser extension or cross-platform telemetry experience
