Tetragon is a flexible, Kubernetes-aware observability and security tool that delivers real-time insights and enforcement. Leveraging the power of eBPF, Tetragon provides low-overhead, in-kernel visibility and intelligence across diverse environments. As a Technical Leader, you will be at the forefront of advancing Tetragon's capabilities. You will guide architectural direction while staying deeply engaged in building the systems that power our platform. Your impact will span designing high-performance data pipelines, optimizing database and distributed system performance, and ensuring massive streams of system events can be ingested, aggregated, and distilled into meaningful intelligence. You will collaborate closely with teams across Cisco, including Hypershield and Splunk, to create the integration points that transform raw data into actionable insights for enterprise security.
Job Responsibility:
Develop high-quality Go (and eBPF) code for the Tetragon project
Design and implement new Tetragon features to enhance its capabilities for Runtime security detection and enforcement
Design and optimize systems for large-scale Tetragon deployment and operation in K8s or VM platforms
Architect infrastructure that converts raw event data into intelligence streams with minimal performance overhead
Contribute to open-source projects and represent Cisco Isovalent in community discussions
Participate in architecture reviews, code reviews, and documentation
Requirements:
Bachelors + 8 years of related experience, or Masters + 6 years of related experience, or PhD + 3 years of related experience
10+ years of experience in systems programming (Go, C, or similar
Tetragon is primarily written in Go)
Experience in building system software in Go (or similar) and/or eBPF
Experience in system-level development, Linux kernel development, distributed systems, or runtime security systems
Nice to have:
Knowledge of eBPF for observability or security use cases
Experience in debugging and optimization with a track record of delivering scalable systems
Solid background in Linux systems and kernel-level concepts
Familiarity with Kubernetes and cloud-native environments
Experience integrating with observability platforms (e.g., Splunk) or SaaS security/analytics systems
Familiarity with CVE workflows, vulnerability data pipelines, or security event modeling
Exposure to real-time streaming/aggregation systems and database performance optimization
Contributions to open-source projects in networking, observability, or distributed systems
Experience working across diverse, distributed teams
