Senior Developer - Automated Detection

The Senior Developer - Detection Automation will partner with high-powered security and detection research teams to create automated detection pipelines for our suite of cybersecurity products and services. They will partner with researchers as a data engineer, familiar with SQL, Spark, and either/both of Databricks or Athena/Iceberg/Trino to write and optimize ETL/ELT jobs to ingest raw data from a variety of sources, refine that data, and optimize/tune those datasets into production. They should be comfortable with relational- and non-relational databases like SQL and PostgreSQL, big data systems such as Spark, and cloud-deployments of software and ETL jobs in AWS. Workflow orchestrators such as Airflow will also be used. Knowledge of cybersecurity and detection engineering are a bonus.
