About the role
Nightwing seeks a Software Developer II (System Security) to advance OS-level security features and resilience for mission-critical systems. You will work on security capabilities that protect data at rest and during execution across Windows, Linux, and VxWorks. Join a team building threat detection, cryptographic bindings, and HRoT integration. 2+ years in systems programming, kernel-related work, and low-level security are highly valued for this role.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
