7+ years expAbacus Service Corporation is seeking a senior engineer to build high-performance, secure, low-level software. The role involves working primarily in C, C++, Rust, and Python to develop and debug low-level components, implement secure systems, and contribute to FPGA/SoC enablement as needed.
HealthcareInformation TechnologyHealth Care
Responsibilities
Build performance-critical systems software in C/C++/Rust; use Python for tooling, tests, CI, and automation
Develop and debug low-level components for Linux and Windows, including device drivers and kernel/user-space interfaces
Work directly with hardware interfaces: interrupts, DMA, MMIO, PCIe/USB, IOMMU, memory ordering, and driver stacks
Implement and integrate cryptography and secure communications (TLS 1.2/1.3, mTLS, IPsec/IKEv2), including PKI/cert integration and key handling
Design for in-memory security (minimize plaintext lifetime, secure buffers, zeroization, prevent swap/pagefile leakage, crash dump considerations)
Profile, optimize, and troubleshoot latency, throughput, concurrency, and memory issues
Contribute to FPGA/SoC enablement when needed (read/write Verilog/VHDL, testbenches, validation hooks)
Qualification
Required
7+ years in systems programming / low-level engineering (or equivalent depth)
Strong C/C++ and Rust; solid Python for engineering productivity
Proven Linux expertise; Windows low-level/driver experience or ability to ramp quickly
Experience with drivers/kernel modules or deep driver-stack/hardware interface work
Practical cryptography integration experience (e.g., OpenSSL/BoringSSL/wolfSSL/libsodium, Windows CNG, Linux crypto APIs)
Strong fundamentals in computer architecture and OS concepts (MMU/virtual memory, caches, interrupts, DMA, concurrency)
Must be able to build and document systems in a way that supports: CMMC (as applicable to defense/regulated environments), NIST SP 800-171 and NIST SP 800-172 aligned engineering and control expectations, ISO/IEC 27001-aligned security management and evidence expectations, SOC 2 security, availability, and confidentiality-oriented controls (as applicable)
Preferred
FPGA/RTL: Verilog/VHDL, simulation/synthesis workflows, timing-closure basics
SoC/board bring-up, firmware/boot chains (UEFI/secure boot), TPM/HSM, TEEs (TrustZone/SGX/SEV/TDX)
Accelerators and high-performance I/O: GPU, DPU/SmartNIC, RDMA, kernel-bypass networking, packet processing
Side-channel awareness/mitigations and secure build practices (reproducible builds, signing, SBOM/CBOM, fuzzing, static analysis)
Proven experience using cryptographic libraries/APIs safely (e.g., OpenSSL/BoringSSL/wolfSSL/libsodium, Windows CNG, Linux crypto APIs)
Understanding of crypto primitives and common protocols, with a focus on correct usage patterns, key lifecycle, and avoiding implementation pitfalls
Ability to read and write Verilog and/or VHDL, including testbenches and FPGA-oriented validation work
Experience with any of: FPGA toolchains and workflows (simulation, synthesis, timing closure basics; vendor tools a plus)
SoC bring-up, bootloaders/firmware, UEFI, secure boot chains
Accelerators and specialized compute: GPU, DPU/SmartNIC, RDMA, kernel-bypass networking, high-speed packet processing
Security hardware: TPM/HSM, TEEs (SGX/SEV/TDX/TrustZone), secure enclaves
Side-channel awareness and mitigations (timing/caching/power considerations)
Experience building secure, verifiable pipelines: reproducible builds, signing, SBOM/CBOM, fuzzing, static analysis
