About Echo Echo delivers frontier-hardened software across the enterprise software supply chain. Echo's containers, libraries, OS packages, VMs, and more are built and patched from source by agentic pipelines, and continuously vetted for supply chain threats. With us, developers and agents can build with secure-by-default software that's compatible with the tools and versions they already use.

• Harden our operating systems and artifacts to meet standards such as FIPS and STIG
• Own complex projects from technical planning through execution and delivery, working closely with Product, our AI engineers, researchers, and other engineers to integrate low-level infrastructure with our AI-powered factory
• What you bring
• Required
• 5+ years of experience developing large-scale projects within development teams
• Deep, hands-on experience with Go, C, and/or C++
• Deep understanding of Linux operating systems, kernel concepts, and system-level programming
• Proficient with Git and collaborative development workflows
• Excellent communication skills and proven ability to work effectively in cross-functional teams
• Preferred
• Experience with Linux packaging and distribution internals (apt, apk, rpm)
• Research background, for example in vulnerability research or reverse engineering
• Familiarity with software supply chain security
