Senior Staff Software Engineer | Security Data Platform | Expert in Python

Our security teams pull data from a lot of separate systems. Asset inventory, identity governance, detection tooling, and threat intel all live in different places, so answering a basic question like which systems an attacker could reach from a compromised account can take a security analyst most of a day.

We're building a platform that connects those systems behind a shared API and knowledge layer so those questions can be answered in seconds. We are not replacing the source systems or copying their data.

You would be a senior individual contributor on a small team, responsible for whole areas of the platform: designing the API contracts, building the services behind them, getting them into production, and working with partner teams to actually adopt them.

This is a hands-on role. You will write code, define interfaces other teams build against, and work directly with stakeholders in detection engineering, red team, blue team, and identity and asset management.

Design and build the platform's core APIs, covering context retrieval, risk scoring, entity resolution, data contracts, and coverage queries.

Build and run asynchronous data pipelines on a message bus with a governed schema registry.

Integrate security data sources including SIEM, identity governance, asset inventory, and our knowledge graph.

Own platform workstreams from scoping through delivery, including the cross-team coordination that takes.

Write design proposals and review other people's, as part of the platform's RFC process.

Review code, mentor engineers on partner teams who contribute to the platform, and keep the technical documentation usable.

By the end of your first year you own one or more of the platform's core APIs, partner teams are building against contracts you wrote, and you are one of the people whose opinion carries weight in architecture and design discussions for the program.
