HybridFull-timeBackend DevelopmentComputer and Network Security
Join a global cybersecurity leader to build cloud-native identity threat detection systems. You will design and implement real-time detection pipelines processing billions of authentication events, leveraging Python, Go, Kafka, and ML to detect sophisticated attacks across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
Responsibilities
- Design and implement real-time detection rules and pipelines over high-throughput Kafka event streams, maintaining sub-second detection latency at massive scale.
- Build a pluggable detection engine and rule framework that transforms raw authentication telemetry into enriched, customer-facing alerts.
- Develop machine-learning and behavioral-anomaly models, and integrate LLM-based detection reasoning into production detection flows.
- Translate security research into production-grade detections, partnering with security researchers.
- Own detections in production, including observability, latency SLOs, safe per-customer rollouts, and incident response.
- Work across a polyglot stack: Python for detection logic and ML, Go for high-performance streaming services, Java for backend alert management.
Requirements
- Programming mastery in Python with deep expertise in data structures, algorithms, and distributed systems.
- 6+ years building backend or distributed systems at scale.
- Hands-on experience with event-streaming or message-queue architectures (Kafka or similar) and distributed data processing.
- Experience with relational and document stores (PostgreSQL, MongoDB) and caching (Redis).
- BS or MS in Computer Science or related engineering discipline.
- Proven experience utilizing AI technologies to enhance decision-making, streamline workflows, and improve efficiency.
Nice to have
- Go experience is a strong plus.
- Security or detection background.
- ML for anomaly detection or applied LLM/GenAI experience.
Benefits
- Market leader in compensation and equity awards.
- Comprehensive physical and mental wellness programs.
- Competitive vacation and holidays for recharge.
- Paid parental and adoption leaves.
- Professional development opportunities for all employees.
- Employee Networks, geographic neighborhood groups, and volunteer opportunities.
- Vibrant office culture with world-class amenities.
- Great Place to Work Certified across the globe.
