About the role

  • Software Development Engineer at BeyondTrust, developing endpoint security solutions for macOS with a focus on AI-driven development tools.

Responsibilities

  • Design, build and maintain the macOS client at the heart of our endpoint security solution — code that must stay fast, resilient and unobtrusive on every user’s Mac
  • Help shape the architecture of new features and services, providing technical direction on increasingly complex projects
  • Review functional and technical requirements to identify gaps, and limitations, propose simplifications and communicate ideas effectively with cross-functional teams
  • Take accountability for code quality — whether produced by agentic AI tools or fellow engineers — through rigorous code review and pull-request feedback, ensuring unit testing and departmental guidelines are consistently met. Where no formal guidelines exist, work with peers to formulate and enforce such guidelines.
  • Develop and improve build, deployment and test automation within your team.
  • Help identify, prioritize and resolve technical debt within your team.
  • Collaborate with your team to ensure work items are well defined and understood, and that value is delivered with quality on every sprint.
  • Investigate and resolve customer issues escalated to engineering, and feed what you learn back into the product.
  • Track emerging macOS and security technologies and put forward improvements to the team’s tools and development processes.
  • Become the go-to development expert for at least one area of the product, deepening that expertise over time.

Requirements

  • A degree in a software engineering discipline, or equivalent practical experience.
  • A strong software engineering background, with significant hands-on development experience and specialist depth in at least one technical area.
  • Hands-on macOS platform development, with proficiency in Swift, Objective-C and/or C++, and experience building systems-level or endpoint security software.
  • Hands-on experience with macOS, including management and development of launch daemons and launch agents, unified logging, development of XPC components.
  • Demonstrable, hands-on experience directing agentic AI development tools such as Claude Code — framing problems well, challenging weak output, and critically reviewing generated code for correctness, security and maintainability.
  • Experience of formal software development methodologies.
  • At least 2 years’ commercial software engineering experience for the Software Development Engineer level; typically, 5 or more years, including demonstrable technical leadership, for the Senior Software Development Engineer level.

Benefits

  • We take care of our employees so they can take care of our customers.
