This is a hands-on principal engineering role combining architecture ownership, technical leadership, and cross-functional delivery.\n\nThe role requires regular on-site work in Gdańsk. Additional implementation details will be shared during the recruitment process in line with the applicable confidentiality requirements.\n\nOwn the end-to-end technical architecture of the hardware-assisted threat-detection platform, covering CPU telemetry collection, Windows systems components, ML inference, partner-facing SDK/API integration, and platform security mechanisms.\n\nDefine the technical strategy, architectural boundaries, interfaces, and integration model across the Lab, ML, and Real-Time workstreams.\n\nLead cross-functional architectural decisions involving processor telemetry, Windows kernel and user-space components, model inference, system performance, endpoint-security requirements, and partner integration.\n\nEstablish and maintain technical quality standards, architecture principles, design-review practices, and engineering acceptance criteria.\n\nDefine measurable efficacy and performance objectives, including detection quality, false-positive behavior, inference latency, system overhead, reliability, and API compatibility.\n\nLead technical evaluation of trade-offs between model quality, telemetry coverage, runtime performance, implementation complexity, and system resource consumption.\n\nOwn the technical strategy for the partner-facing SDK/API, including interface stability, versioning, compatibility, diagnostics, and integration guidance.\n\nCoordinate the technical relationship with approved security-software integration partners.\n\nLead end-to-end validation gates across representative workloads, threat categories, system configurations, and hardware platforms.\n\nEnsure that technical decisions, interfaces, assumptions, risks, and known limitations are documented and traceable.\n\nIdentify, communicate, and mitigate program-level technical risks and cross-workstream dependencies.\n\nProvide hands-on technical guidance and design support when complex issues span hardware, drivers, systems software, ML, and security.\n\nMentor senior engineers across the Lab, ML, and Real-Time workstreams and help them resolve cross-disciplinary technical problems.\n\nRepresent the platform in client architecture reviews, partner discussions, and approved external technical engagements.\n\nWork with project stakeholders to translate technical progress, constraints, and risks into clear decisions and priorities.\n\nSupport the transition from Proof of Concept toward a scalable productization architecture if the initial phase is successful.\nWymagania\nMUST 8+ years of progressive software, systems, platform, hardware, security, or machine-learning engineering experience.\n\nSubstantial experience operating as a Principal Engineer, Staff Engineer, Senior Staff Engineer, Technical Lead, Systems Architect, or equivalent technical authority.\n\nDemonstrated hands-on technical depth in at least one of the following areas, with credible experience in at least one additional area:\n\nCPU and platform engineering:\n\nCPU microarchitecture, processor telemetry, PMCs/PMUs, performance profiling, platform firmware, UEFI/BIOS, silicon validation, or comparable low-level platform technologies.\n\nWindows systems and kernel engineering:\n\nWindows kernel-mode drivers, WDF/WDM/KMDF, driver-to-user-space communication, WinDbg, ETW/ETL, concurrency, low-latency systems, or performance-sensitive runtime development.\n\nEndpoint security:\n\nEndpoint-security or EDR architecture, system monitoring, behavioral detection, malware analysis, threat telemetry, security-agent development, or comparable defensive-security platforms.\n\nML systems:\n\nProduction ML inference pipelines, model-runtime integration, ONNX Runtime, OpenVINO, GPU/NPU inference, edge inference, or performance optimization for deployed ML models.\n\nWorking literacy across the remaining technical areas and the ability to lead specialists without claiming equal hands-on depth in every discipline.\n\nExperience making and documenting architecture decisions across multiple components, engineering disciplines, or organizational boundaries.\n\nExperience leading a complex multi-disciplinary engineering effort from definition and prototype through integration and validation.\n\nExperience defining measurable technical KPIs, performance budgets, quality gates, acceptance criteria, or engineering readiness criteria.\n\nAbility to evaluate system-level trade-offs involving performance, reliability, security, compatibility, maintainability, and delivery risk.\n\nStrong technical communication skills across engineering, partner, project-management, and executive audiences.\n\nAbility to mentor senior engineers, facilitate design reviews, resolve technical disagreements, and drive decisions to closure.\n\nAbility to remain hands-on in architecture reviews, debugging, prototyping, performance analysis, or other technically complex work.\n\nMust be based in Gdańsk or willing to relocate to the Gdańsk area.\n\nUniversity degree in computer science, electrical engineering, computer engineering, cybersecurity, or an equivalent field.\n\nNICE TO HAVE Experience with hardware-assisted security technologies on a major processor architecture.\n\nExperience architecting endpoint-security, EDR, anti-malware, behavioral-detection, or system-monitoring products.\n\nFamiliarity with hardware performance counters, processor telemetry, instruction-based sampling, or silicon-level performance analysis.\n\nExperience with Windows driver development, driver signing, HLK testing, or WHQL certification processes. Prior WHQL delivery is useful for later productization but is not required for the Proof-of-Concept phase.\n\nExperience integrating machine-learning inference into low-level, performance-sensitive, edge, endpoint, or embedded systems.\n\nExperience with ONNX Runtime, OpenVINO, DirectML, GPU/NPU runtimes, model quantization, or inference-performance optimization.\n\nExperience developing SDKs or APIs for external engineering partners, including interface versioning and backward compatibility.\n\nExperience working with security-software vendors or managing joint technical integration programs.\n\nExperience with malware research, threat intelligence, safe sample handling, controlled security validation, or security-lab governance.\n\nExperience with silicon validation, firmware, UEFI/BIOS, hardware attestation, trusted execution, secure boot, or platform-rooted security.\n\nExperience defining detection-efficacy metrics, false-positive targets, performance budgets, or end-to-end validation gates.\n\nExperience moving an early-stage R&D or Proof-of-Concept system toward production architecture.\n\nPatent portfolio, technical publications, open-source contributions, conference presentations, or standards participation in a relevant technical area.","description_format":"text","description_chars":7839,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":8,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["IoT Security","Information Technology","Software","Custom Software Development"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-08T23:22:33Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 41 · green card filings: 50","filings_12m":41,"filings_prev_12m":39,"green_card_filings_12m":50,"median_offered_wage_usd":124258,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-15T11:24:14+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)","US Department of Labor: PERM disclosure data (green cards)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":45,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.821,"p_room":0.55,"age_days":12,"expected_fill_days":12,"reasons":["seen:12","urgency","velocity","win:tail","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-17T05:46:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/luxoft-technical-team-lead-hardware-security-platform","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/luxoft-technical-team-lead-hardware-security-platform.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-17T11:52:07Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":15641,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-18T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":171185},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=171185"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fluxoft-technical-team-lead-hardware-security-platform"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fluxoft-technical-team-lead-hardware-security-platform"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fluxoft-technical-team-lead-hardware-security-platform"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/luxoft-technical-team-lead-hardware-security-platform\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fluxoft-technical-team-lead-hardware-security-platform"}]}
