What this job asks for AI summary
A staff-level macOS systems engineering role focused on building and owning the macOS enforcement layer of an identity security platform. The work centers on an Endpoint Security client that makes real-time allow/deny decisions on process, file, network, and signal events, plus a Network Extension content filter — much of it greenfield. The role suits a deep macOS systems specialist with production experience on the synchronous Endpoint Security authorization path and end-to-end System Extension ownership.

Why we read it this way (6)
Location is not specified in the posting; BeyondTrust is a distributed/remote-first company, so remote=true is inferred from the absence of any office or geography requirement.
The systems programming language requirement is stated as 'C, C++, Objective-C, Swift, or Rust' — these are presented as interchangeable options satisfying one requirement, so C is listed as the primary with the others as alternatives. Rust also appears separately as the language of the shared cross-platform agent and is listed individually as preferred since it is described as part of the existing stack rather than a hard gate on the candidate.
Claude Code is called out by name as the preferred AI coding tool but is framed as 'or a comparable tool,' making it preferred rather than a hard gate on that specific product.
The role is explicitly titled and framed as 'Staff Software Development Engineer' with cross-org architecture authority and mentorship of senior/mid engineers, supporting the Staff seniority classification.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): macOS Endpoint Security framework.
