Software Engineer, Detection

What We're Looking For

We’re looking for passionate engineers who love building and operating backend systems at scale - someone who can take ambiguous detection/product problems and deliver reliable production services and UIs that help our ops and customers find and remediate threats. You’ll focus on high-throughput ingestion, enrichment, scoring and alerting pipelines, APIs and dashboards, threat-linking infrastructure, and reliable automation that the stakeholder teams use every day.

• Hands-on experience building production backend services or full-stack features (or equivalent). Proven record of shipping end-to-end: design → implementation → testing → monitoring → oncall.
• Strong mastery of at least one backend language (Python, Go, Java, or Node) and comfort with web APIs, async processing, and service frameworks.
• Solid system design skills: experience architecting scalable, fault-tolerant systems (sharding, caching, queueing, idempotency, backpressure).
• Experience building and operating large data pipelines (batch or streaming), working with warehouses or OLAP systems for analytics, and designing efficient schemas for scale.
• Deep practical experience with backend concerns: databases (SQL + NoSQL), caching, message queues, rate limiting, retries, and cost/latency tradeoffs.
• Strong observability, debugging and incident response skills: structured logging, tracing, dashboards, SLOs/alerts, and the ability to triage and fix production issues.
• Product ownership and excellent cross-functional communication — you’ll collaborate with Operations, Customer Success, Sales, to deliver measurable outcomes.

As part of our NY team, you’ll

• Work on a wide range of asks that protect billions of people from digital impersonation
• Have complete end to end ownership - from directly collecting customer requirements to continuously iterating on shipped releases.
• Mentor junior engineers, make key product decisions, and foster a high-performing team culture
