Responsibilities

  • Own end-to-end systems design for key components of the scanning engine, from initial design through implementation, deployment, and ongoing iteration

  • Mentor and support other engineers on the team through design feedback, pairing, and knowledge sharing around systems design and scanning domain concepts.
  • Hands-on experience building or maintaining scanning, detection, or similar engine-like systems (e.g., vulnerability scanning, security scanning, data processing pipelines, or similar high-throughput engines).
  • Ability to collaborate effectively across teams, including product, security, and platform/infra, and communicate tradeoffs clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Proven track record of owning projects end-to-end, from problem definition and design through implementation, rollout, and iteration.

Requirements

Skills

  • Experience working in a cloud-native environment (e.g., microservices, containers, CI/CD, monitoring, logging).
  • Comfort operating in a fast-paced, evolving environment, making pragmatic technical decisions while maintaining quality and security.
  • Cyber security domain knowledge in scanning through endpoints.
