Our Mission

We aim to lead in SaaS security by delivering innovative Threat Detection and Response solutions that empower customers to protect their environments with confidence. As a Senior Software Engineer on the Threat Platform team, you will play a key part in fulfilling this mission by architecting robust, petabyte-scale systems and guiding cross-functional collaboration to ensure high-impact feature delivery.  You will design and build high-throughput data pipelines in Python and Go, contribute to architectural decisions, and collaborate closely with cross-functional teams. You will have a broad business impact by developing and scaling our SaaS security platform, helping customers identify, prioritize, and respond to threats in real time.

Key Responsibilities

1. Architect & Implement High-Throughput Data Pipelines
• Contribute to the design and build of scalable, cloud-native data pipelines leveraging Go / Golang.
• Integrate and optimize streaming technologies (e.g., Kafka, PubSub, Pulsar) and analytics engines (e.g., ClickHouse, Trino, Spark) to ingest and process petabytes of data daily.
• Ensure solutions meet performance and low-latency requirements for enterprise SaaS environments.
2. Technical Collaboration
• Work with other senior engineers and architects to align on system design, coding practices, and tooling.
• Participate in architectural discussions that balance immediate goals with long-term scalability.
3. Project Execution & Cross-Functional Alignment
• Take ownership of complex projects from scoping to delivery, collaborating with Product Management, Security Research, and Data Science teams.
• Align technical solutions with broader business needs and customer requirements.
4. Code Quality, Reliability & Observability
• Champion engineering excellence by promoting test-driven development (TDD), code reviews, and proactive monitoring.
• Advocate for reliability, observability, and scalability at every stage of the development lifecycle.
5. Proactive Improvement
• Identify and address technical debt, proposing improvements to existing features, the codebase, and team practices.
• Stay informed of industry trends and emerging technologies; recommend tools or processes that enhance productivity and performance.
6. Team Collaboration & Knowledge Sharing
• Serve as a resource for technical questions and reviews, fostering a culture of continuous learning.
• Offer constructive feedback in code reviews, encouraging best practices and high-quality solutions across the team.

Qualifications

• 4-8 years of professional software engineering experience, including hands-on development in Go / Golang. 
• Proven track record in designing and architecting large-scale, high-throughput data pipelines or similar distributed systems.
• Experience with streaming platforms (e.g., Kafka, Pub/Sub, Pulsar) and analytics engines (e.g., ClickHouse, Trino, Spark) to enable low-latency querying and high-volume data ingestion.
• Cloud-native development proficiency (e.g., containerization, CI/CD pipelines, microservices, observability tools).
• Strong understanding of SaaS, security operations, or detection engineering is a plus (though not required).
• Excellent communication skills—capable of explaining technical concepts to diverse audiences and driving consensus.
• Comfortable in agile or agile-esque environments focused on rapid iteration, feedback, and continuous improvement.

What Success Looks Like

• You reliably deliver robust features with minimal guidance, translating complex requirements into maintainable, scalable solutions that align with product and customer needs.
• You demonstrate end-to-end ownership of your work—proactively identifying and resolving issues, advocating test-driven development, and ensuring your solutions are observable, reliable, and performant.
• You communicate effectively with stakeholders—clarifying requirements, articulating technical constraints, and aligning engineering efforts with broader business goals. You actively participate in discussions that shape product direction and team priorities.
• You seek opportunities to enhance existing features, propose innovative solutions to technical challenges, and drive incremental improvements in team processes, code quality, and operational efficiency.
