Senior Security Data Engineer

Own multi-terabyte-per-day log pipelines across AWS and GCP: ingest, routing, enrichment, schema management, and onboarding new sources as the business adds them

Control ingest cost and volume, cutting noise at the edge without dropping the audit logs investigators depend on

Model security data and tune query performance in Snowflake, BigQuery, and Redshift, including the tables detection engineering builds on

Ship production services and integrations that other teams depend on: custom SIEM connectors, API clients, and automation

Set and defend SLOs for log availability and freshness, and build the dashboards and alerting that prove them

Own infrastructure as code and CI/CD for all of the above, including the deployment path that detections-as-code rides on

Build AI agents and automated runbooks that speed up triage and time to fix across cloud infrastructure

Enforce IAM and service account governance for the pipeline's cloud workloads

Lead cross-functional projects spanning infrastructure, platform engineering, and incident response

Create and maintain the standards and documentation that keep the service consistent, and mentor engineers across Cyber Defense

5+ years building and operating high-volume data pipelines in production at multi-terabyte-per-day scale, with tools like Kafka, Cribl, Dataflow, Kinesis, or CloudWatch

4+ years writing production software in Python, Go, Rust, or Java: services and tooling that other engineers run, beyond one-off scripts

Deep hands-on experience with AWS and GCP, including infrastructure as code and ownership of CI/CD pipelines on GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket

Strong SQL and data modeling in a columnar warehouse such as Snowflake, BigQuery, or Redshift, covering partitioning, cost control, and query tuning

A track record owning reliability for a platform other engineers depend on, including on-call

Experience building executive dashboards and engineering metrics that people actually act on

Proven leadership and technical project management across infrastructure, platform engineering, and incident response

Exceptional written and verbal communication, a collaborative instinct, and a habit of continuous learning

Familiarity with an enterprise SIEM as an operator or a consumer (Google SecOps/Chronicle, Splunk, Elastic, CrowdStrike LogScale) is a plus, as is time with Kubernetes, Docker, and runtime security controls

Any hands-on time with security telemetry sources, detections-as-code (YARA-L, Sigma, SPL), LLM-assisted workflows, penetration testing, red teaming, or triaging bug bounty reports is a bonus
