Those who thrive here actively seek out new solutions, experiment thoughtfully, and apply what they learn to drive better, faster, smarter outcomes.

As a Senior Software Engineer in the Detection Platform group, you will be tasked with participating in the design and execution of backend systems that process billions of events and several petabytes of data daily and serve tens of thousands of security specialists at enterprise and government customers worldwide.

What Will You Do?

• Operational Excellence: Own the full lifecycle of large-scale production services - design, develop (mostly in Go and/or Java), test, deploy, and operate them while holding a high bar for observability, performance, and reliability - from proactive monitoring and diagnostics through incident response.

• Technical Evolution: Keep the existing codebase healthy through ongoing refactoring and disciplined delivery of fixes and features, while continuously evaluating and adopting new technologies that address the scale and complexity of our data challenges.

• System Design at Scale: Participate in the design and implementation of highly available, low-latency, cloud-native services built to process high volume of events, keeping them reliable and performant for the world’s largest enterprises and governments.

• AI-Native Engineering: Leverage AI across the development process and raise the bar for how we design, review, and ship products.

• Cross-Team Collaboration: Drive complex initiatives that span multiple teams to completion, align engineering, product, and design on technical direction, and act as a key stakeholder in cross-organizational architecture reviews.

• Requirements into Architecture: Turn vaguely specified, complex requirements into robust, scalable, operable end-to-end designs that fit the overall data architecture, and define the coding patterns and standards other teams build on.

What Skills and Knowledge Will You Bring?

• 5+ years of software engineering experience with deep production-level mastery of Go and/or Java
