Engineering for one of the longest-standing names in Mac security — native macOS applications protecting users from malware, network threats, and data loss, backed by a platform that ships updates the moment threats evolve.
Intego has protected Macs for over two decades — antivirus, firewall, backup, and parental controls built exclusively for Apple's ecosystem. Security software is held to a different standard: it runs with deep system privileges, on every macOS version Apple ships, and a bad update erodes trust that took years to earn.
EXN engineers worked alongside Intego's product teams on the native application suite and the platform behind it — keeping pace with each macOS release, tightening the update pipeline that delivers threat definitions to users, and supporting the subscription systems that power the business.
Feature work and maintenance across the security suite — apps that live in the menu bar, hook deep into the system, and have to feel native on every macOS release.
The pipeline that gets new threat definitions from the malware lab to every protected Mac — fast, verifiable, and safe to roll back.
Account, activation, and subscription systems connecting the desktop apps to the store — the commerce layer a consumer software business runs on.
Automated testing across macOS versions and hardware generations — because security software gets no second chances after a broken release.
Security software is judged on the days nothing happens — no missed threats, no broken updates, no slowdowns users can feel. Engineering for that invisibility, across every macOS release, is the whole discipline.
