Software Engineering Intern

Hi there, Gen is looking for new engineers. We are offering students an opportunity to learn how security software is developed. We can help you to understand how Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF) and WebView2 work together with Windows desktop applications. You will see how the C++ world is connected with JavaScript and how we can do a nice and cool user interface. We care about millions of Windows users using our antivirus. Are you curious about how the detection dialogs work? Do you want to see how a virus scanner finds and eliminates threats? We can show you.
