We're pioneering Least Agency: limiting what AI agents (and humans) can actually do, and enforcing those boundaries independently through physical containment.\nOur approach combines purpose-built hardware, robust software, and non-IP connectivity to enable secure, real-time work for both AI agents and humans, without exposing the protected network.\nIt sounds bold, we know. That's exactly the point.\nWho We Are\nZeroport is pioneering Least Agency for AI and human network access.\nOur hardware-enforced architecture creates physical boundaries between AI agents, human users, and critical systems, limiting what they can reach and do by design.\nWe're a focused, technical team with a strong builder mentality, moving fast to redefine how humans and AI securely interact with the world's most critical systems.\nAbout the Role\n We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our small, fast-moving team, where engineers own problems end-to-end and work across languages, services, and system boundaries.\nThis role requires more than strong software engineering. We’re looking for someone with strong system and product thinking - someone who can take a high-level need, understand the broader context, challenge assumptions, identify user flows and edge cases, and help shape the right solution before writing the code.\nAI is deeply integrated into how we build software. We use coding agents daily to plan, develop, review, test, and investigate code, making strong engineering judgment and the ability to critically validate AI-generated work essential.\nWhat You’ll Do\nOwn complex problems from initial need through design, implementation, testing, and production\nTurn high-level requirements into well-defined solutions, considering user flows, edge cases, constraints, and expected behavior\nThink beyond the immediate task and consider how a feature fits into the broader system and evolves over time\nDesign and build across multiple parts of the system and technology stack\nMake architecture decisions with reliability, security, failure scenarios, upgrades, and backward compatibility in mind\nWork daily with AI coding agents to plan, build, investigate, and validate software\nDebug complex issues across distributed systems and real-world environments\nResearch unfamiliar technologies, protocols, and domains and quickly turn findings into working solutions\nCollaborate across software, embedded, hardware, security, and infrastructure\nRequirements\nWhat We’re Looking For\n6+ years of hands-on software engineering experience\nStrong system and product thinking - the ability to understand the problem behind a requirement, define scope, anticipate edge cases and constraints, and make thoughtful decisions about how a solution should work\nAbility to operate effectively with ambiguity and drive problems forward without relying on fully defined specifications\nStrong system design and architecture skills\nHands-on experience using AI coding agents, such as Claude Code or similar tools, as part of the development workflow\nAbility to learn new technologies, languages, and domains quickly\nExperience debugging complex or distributed systems\nSolid understanding of networking and security fundamentals, including TCP/IP, TLS/mTLS, certificates, PKI, and authentication\nNice to Have\nReal-time media: WebRTC (ICE/TURN, DTLS), GStreamer, H.264, or remote desktop protocols such as RDP\nIdentity: SAML, OIDC, LDAP/Active Directory\nSecurity engineering: threat modeling, secure protocol design, PKI and mTLS, code signing and signed updates, Linux hardening, or an offensive security / CTF background\nEmbedded Linux and hardware interfaces: Yocto, ARM boards, CAN (ISO-TP), UART, HID input, V4L2 video capture\nFlutter with native code (FFI, platform channels) or another cross-platform desktop stack\nShipping on-premise or air-gapped software\nBuilding your own AI tooling: agent workflows, skills, MCP servers\nWhy Join Us\nAI is making ordinary software cheap to produce. Building close to hardware is where the interesting problems are moving: the constraints are real, the feedback is immediate, and there's more to learn than any framework can\nSolve challenging problems across software, hardware, networking, security, and AI\nWork in an environment where AI is an integral part of how software is built\nTake real ownership and have a direct impact on the product and how it evolves\nWork with a small, highly technical team building something fundamentally new\nCompetitive salary and benefits\nLet's build it together!\nEven if you don’t meet every requirement - we’d still love to hear from curious, motivated people.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4902,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":6,"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":["Cybersecurity","AI Agents"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-30T21:14:44Z"}],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":24,"reasons":["conf:8","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-01T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/zeroport-senior-software-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/zeroport-senior-software-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-01T10:43:44Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":1902,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":3098,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-10-02T00:00:00Z"}}}
