We are looking for a Software Developer to join the HP Wolf Security R&D team in Cambridge, UK. We work on an endpoint software security product which is based on micro-virtualization. To see what our engineers are working on, check out our technical blogs: https://threatresearch.ext.hp.com/blog.

The role will be primarily C++ development and you’ll be working to optimise browsing experience for end users.

Inspired by the isolation principles of traditional virtualization, our team has created a game-changing technology called micro-virtualization to protect end users against advanced malware. Every task the user performs, such as opening a document or clicking on a link, is isolated in its own micro-VM, with access to just the resources required for that task, and existing just for the life of the task. Protection is thus provided through isolation, without relying on detection, hence reliably defending the user from polymorphic and even zero-day malware.
