Responsibilities
- Define and drive the long-term technical roadmap and architecture for backend detection, hunting, and response systems.
- Lead design and implementation of highly available, low-latency cloud-native services processing millions of events per second and petabytes of data.
- Embed AI into production services, including agentic threat-hunting and LLM-powered capabilities, and promote AI-assisted development practices.
- Drive complex cross-team initiatives, architecture reviews, and alignment among engineering, product, and design stakeholders.
- Translate complex and ambiguous requirements into scalable, operable end-to-end designs and establish coding patterns and standards.
- Champion observability, performance optimization, data integrity, key operational metrics, diagnostics, and incident-response processes.
- Mentor software engineers and serve as a recognized subject-matter expert who raises the group’s technical bar.
Requirements
- 10+ years of software engineering experience, equivalent to at least 120 months.
- Deep production-level mastery of Go and/or Java; Python experience is a plus.
- Strong experience building and operating high-scale distributed backend services and platforms.

- Deep experience with AWS and/or GCP, Kubernetes, Docker, Postgres, Redis, Kafka, Cassandra, and ClickHouse.
- Hands-on experience with AI coding assistants and agentic development tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, or Copilot.
- Experience embedding AI into production services and building agentic or LLM-powered capabilities; familiarity with agentic frameworks, orchestration, RAG, MCP, vector databases, prompt engineering, and AI evaluation and guardrail frameworks is advantageous.
- Ability to convert vaguely specified requirements into future-proof designs, lead multi-team initiatives, and influence engineering roadmaps.
- Ability to communicate technical trade-offs to technical and non-technical stakeholders, including Product Management, Directors, and VPs.
- Ability to collaborate effectively with local and remote teams across time zones and maintain a customer-focused approach.
- Previous security-product development experience is a strong advantage.
