We integrate industry-leading solutions-including Unified Endpoint Management, Virtual Apps and Desktops, Digital Employee Experience, and Security & Compliance-into a seamless, autonomous workspace that adapts to how people work. Our platform boosts employee engagement while optimizing IT operations, security, and cost. \nGuided by our Core Values-Act in Alignment, Build Trust, Foster Inclusiveness, Drive Efficiency, and Maximize Customer Value -we’re growing rapidly and committed to delivering meaningful impact. If you're passionate about shaping the future of work, we’d love to hear from you.\nAt Omnissa, we are committed to maintaining a fair, consistent, and secure hiring process for all candidates. As part of this approach, we use standard interview and verification practices designed to ensure alignment and protect both candidates and the organization. These practices are applied thoughtfully and with respect for candidate privacy.\nWhat is the opportunity?\nElara is a new Omnissa product line that helps enterprises discover, monitor, and govern how AI is used across their devices. We’re hiring a Senior Software Engineer to build the Elara macOS agent. It’s a lightweight, native, always-on component that shows organizations which AI applications are in use, where network traffic is going, and how sensitive data is handled.\nWhy Elara, and Why Now\nEnterprises are adopting AI faster than they can see it, let alone govern it. Elara exists to close that gap, and you’d be one of the first engineers to shape it.\nWe’re building Elara the way software is going to be built: agentic from day one. We’re also defining what agent-driven engineering means in the context of an enterprise security product. Engineers on Elara work with AI coding agents every day, delegating implementation, test generation, and refactoring. That frees their own time for what agents can’t do, which is system design, security judgment, and careful review of low-level code where mistakes are expensive. We’re writing this playbook as we go, and you’ll help write it.If you want deep macOS systems work in a category that barely existed two years ago, with a small team and real ownership, this is that role.\nHow We Work\nAgents are part of the team. AI coding agents are built into how we design, build, test, and debug. Our approved tools include Claude Code, Cursor and GitHub Copilot.\nHumans own the judgment. Engineers own architecture, security decisions, and final review, and are accountable for everything that ships.\nGuardrails are first-class work. Excellent documentation, strong CI, and test automation are what let us move fast safely. We build on each other’s work. Reusable agent skills, prompts are tooling means you start productive on day one and every improvement benefits the whole team.\nWhat You'll Do\nBackend Engineering & Distributed Systems\nDesign, develop, and maintain scalable, high-performance backend services and APIs using Go (Golang).\nBuild cloud-native, distributed microservices supporting enterprise endpoint management, AI security monitoring, and governance workflows.\nDesign and implement secure, efficient communication between millions of endpoint agents and backend services using gRPC, Protocol Buffers, HTTP/2, and REST APIs.\nOptimize concurrency, resource utilization, throughput, and latency across distributed services.\nDesign secure multi-tenant architectures with strong tenant isolation, authorization, and data protection.\nDevelop automated unit, integration, performance, and end-to-end tests.\nParticipate in architecture reviews, code reviews, and technical design discussions.\nContribute to CI/CD automation, infrastructure-as-code, and reliable production deployments.\nCollaborate closely with endpoint engineering, security, frontend, and product teams to deliver end-to-end capabilities.\nData Engineering, Storage & Real-Time Analytics\nDesign and optimize transactional data models, queries, indexing strategies, and database interactions using PostgreSQL.\nImplement high-performance caching, distributed coordination, and low-latency data access using Redis or Valkey.\nEvaluate and integrate analytical data platforms such as ClickHouse, StarRocks, Apache Druid, or similar OLAP technologies to support high-volume, low-latency analytical queries.\nPerformance, Scalability & Reliability\nDesign services for high availability, fault tolerance, horizontal scalability, and graceful degradation.\nOptimize backend systems for high-concurrency workloads, large-scale telemetry ingestion, and low-latency policy operations.\nImplement robust retry mechanisms, backpressure, rate limiting, idempotency, and failure recovery across distributed services.\nEstablish observability through metrics, structured logging, distributed tracing, and actionable alerting.\nConduct performance profiling, load testing, capacity planning, and production troubleshooting.\nCollaborate with SRE and platform engineering teams to improve service reliability, operational efficiency, and deployment automation.\nRequired Qualifications\n5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with substantial experience building backend services and distributed systems.\nStrong hands-on programming expertise in Go (Golang), including concurrency, goroutines, channels, context management, and performance profiling.\nSolid understanding of distributed systems concepts, microservices architecture, asynchronous processing, and fault-tolerant system design.\nStrong experience with PostgreSQL, including schema design, query optimization, indexing, transactions, and database performance tuning.\nHands-on experience with Redis or similar in-memory data stores for caching, high-throughput data access, and distributed application patterns.\nExperience designing and developing RESTful APIs, gRPC services, and secure client-server communication.\nStrong knowledge of data structures, algorithms, networking fundamentals, and concurrent programming.\nExperience building scalable, highly available services in containerized environments using Docker and Kubernetes or equivalent orchestration platforms.\nFamiliarity with event-driven architectures, message queues, or streaming platforms such as Kafka.\nExperience with observability, debugging, performance optimization, and production incident troubleshooting.\nUnderstanding of authentication, authorization, encryption, and secure backend development practices.\nPreferred Qualifications\nExperience building large-scale SaaS platforms, endpoint management systems, cybersecurity products, or high-volume telemetry processing services.\nHands-on experience with ClickHouse, StarRocks or similar real-time analytical databases.\nExperience designing high-throughput ingestion pipelines, columnar storage architectures, and near-real-time analytics systems.\nKnowledge of Apache Kafka, event-stream processing, and distributed messaging patterns.\nExperience managing persistent connections with large numbers of distributed clients using gRPC streaming or similar protocols.\nExperience with Redis Cluster, PostgreSQL partitioning, replication, connection pooling, and database scalability patterns.\nFamiliarity with Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, Loki, or similar observability technologies.\nExperience with Kubernetes, HashiStack (Nomad, Consul, Vault), or other cloud-native infrastructure platforms.\nKnowledge of multi-tenant SaaS architectures, tenant-level data isolation, and enterprise security requirements.\nLocation: Atlanta, GA OR Mountain View, CA \nLocation Type: Hybrid\nTravel Expectations: None \nEducation: Bachelor's Degree preferred, or equivalent combination of education and relevant professional experience.\nCompensation: The typical
