Job Level
About the role
- Design and implement scalable data models, domain contracts, and schemas with strong guarantees on performance, integrity, lineage, and governance.
- Build and optimize batch and streaming pipelines (ETL/ELT, near-real-time) with clear SLAs on latency, quality, and cost.
- Drive platform reliability through observability primitives including SLIs/SLOs, freshness and completeness checks, lineage tracking, and automated parity tests.
- Develop, validate, and deploy statistical and ML models for security use cases such as anomaly detection, behavioral modeling, and risk scoring.
- Productionize models as reliable services with well-defined APIs, feature stores, versioning, and continuous monitoring for drift, bias, and performance.
- Translate large-scale security telemetry into actionable risk intelligence and automated decisions.
- Design and deliver agentic workflows that combine perception, reasoning, and action to reduce time-to-detection and time-to-mitigation.
- Integrate LLMs with security pipelines to automate root-cause analysis, contextual explanations, investigation summaries, and response orchestration.
- Expose read-only and action APIs for downstream systems and dashboards (e.g., executive, SOC, and customer-facing views).
Requirements
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Statistics, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
- 8+ years of experience building and operating large-scale data or software systems with high throughput and low latency.
- Strong proficiency in Python (preferred), Scala, or Java, with excellent software engineering fundamentals.
- Expertise with data and stream processing technologies such as Airflow, Spark, Kafka, Flink, or equivalents.
- Solid SQL skills and experience with at least one NoSQL or distributed data store.
- Practical experience deploying and operating ML systems in production, including monitoring and lifecycle management.
- Cloud experience with AWS, GCP, or Azure and managed data/ML services.
- Strong understanding of statistics and machine learning methods and their real-world tradeoffs.
