Threat Locker is seeking a highly skilled and self-driven Windows Service Developer to join our cybersecurity engineering team. In this role, you will design, implement, and optimize high-performance background services in C#/.NET, with a strong focus on Windows OS internals. These services are critical components of Threat Locker’s endpoint protection platform — defending systems from the inside out.

The ideal candidate is an expert developer with a deep understanding of Windows architecture, secure coding practices, and performance optimization. You will work closely with system internals, file systems, and network layers to build resilient, scalable, and secure service components.

Wwe value developers who think like attackers, engineers with precision, and debug like forensic analysts. The role will be based in Orlando, FL and is an in-office position.

• Design, develop, and maintain robust Windows Services using C#/.NET, with a focus on security, performance, and reliability.
• Work with low-level Windows components, including Windows APIs, file system hooks, and network stack integration.

• Solid grasp of network protocols (TCP/IP, HTTP/S, DNS) and experience with network control or firewall-level filtering.
• Hands‑on experience with debugging and profiling tools (e.g., Win Dbg, Process Monitor).
• Familiarity with SQL Server, including stored procedures and index optimization.
• Experience designing and consuming RESTful APIs.
• Strong understanding of secure coding practices and software design patterns.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent hands‑on experience.

• Experience with C/C++ interop, kernel development, or Windows filter drivers.
• Proven ability to design highly concurrent, long‑running Windows Services with efficient resource management.
• Familiarity with endpoint protection, EDR, or network monitoring technologies.
• Understanding of containerized environments and Dev Ops pipelines for service deployment.
• Hands‑on experience with Git Hub Actions, CI/CD pipelines, and multi‑target build orchestration (.NET Framework and .NET Core).
