Job description
Structured overview of role & requirements
About This Role
- Build AD protection and recovery capabilities, including granular change tracking, object-level recovery, forest backup, and full forest recovery.
- Own a signed, serviceable Windows agent for domain controllers and identity-threat detection features that feed audit logs and SIEM systems.
- Ensure safe write and restore operations; lead threat modeling and recovery testing, contribute hands-on code, and mentor engineers.
Minimum Requirements
- Work Experience Required: 10+ years in software design and development, including significant Windows-platform work; 5+ years building software with Active Directory internals; and 3+ years in a security-focused area.
- Education: B.S., M.S., or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
- Material technical fit: Windows internals and agent/systems development; deep AD protocols, database, security, and recovery knowledge; experience shipping software to customer-managed production infrastructure.
- Location: Bangalore or Pune, with 2–3 office days per week for employees within commuting distance; candidates outside the area must be willing to relocate before starting and have the legal right to work there.
Ideal Candidate Profile
- Has built software that reads, writes, backs up, or recovers Active Directory—not solely administered it—and understands how directory changes and replication work.
- Can connect attacker behavior and detection to safe identity recovery, including clean-source recovery and risks from restoring compromised systems.
- Combines hands-on Windows systems engineering with Staff-level project leadership, mentoring, and sound judgment around potentially destructive recovery operations.
