Were looking for people who are relentlessly curious and committed to continuous learning. AI is reshaping every function across our business, and we enable every team member, regardless of role or level, to build fluency in AI tools and concepts. 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 Staff Software Engineer in the Detection Platform group, you will be tasked with being the technical authority responsible for defining and evolving the architecture of the cloud-native systems that power our AI SIEM detection, hunting, and response capabilities, including large-scale real-time detection engines, stateful detection engines, anomaly detections, ML pipelines, agentic SOC and threat-hunting capabilities. You will lead 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. Your technical leadership will bridge long-term architectural strategy and high-velocity product delivery, and you will drive cross-team initiatives that shape how detection and response are built and operated across the group.

Requirements:
10+ years of software engineering experience with deep production-level mastery of Go and/or Java (Python a plus), and a strong track record of building and operating high-scale distributed backend services.
A track record of being a recognized subject-matter expert others seek out to review and elevate their designs, with a passion for building high-scale distributed systems.
Platform thinking: proven experience building and evolving platforms, not just features, with a focus on API design (gRPC, REST), service boundaries, multi-tenancy, and shared infrastructure in a high-scale SaaS environment.
Strong background in distributed data processing and microservices, building high-quality, scalable data products that handle millions of events per second.
Deep experience with AWS and/or GCP, Kubernetes, Docker, Postgres, Redis, Kafka, Cassandra, and ClickHouse.
Hands-on experience leveraging AI in the development process (e.g. AI coding assistants and agentic dev tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, or Copilot) and a desire to reshape how a team builds software to better utilize AI.
Experience embedding AI into production services, building agentic and LLM-powered capabilities. Familiarity with modern techniques such as agentic frameworks and orchestration, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), the Model Context Protocol (MCP), vector databases, prompt engineering, and evaluation and guardrail frameworks for reliable AI systems is a strong advantage.
The ability to turn vaguely specified, complex requirements into efficient, future-proof end-to-end designs, and to drive multi-team initiatives and influence the engineering roadmap.
Strategic communication: able to articulate complex technical trade-offs to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, including Product Management, Directors, and VPs.
Ability to swiftly delve into new products, and to collaborate effectively with local and remote teams across time zones.
Customer focus: you care about delivering value and want to hear directly from customers on how to evolve your systems.
Previous experience developing security-related products is a strong advantage.
