Software Engineer, Product Security Data Platforms

Responsibilities

• Architect scalable foundations: Design and implement a highly available, low-latency pipeline capable of processing and augmenting millions of events per second into structured security telemetry.
• Build API-first products: Develop core services and streaming APIs that enable enterprise customers to ingest security signals into their internal security operations centers and analytics tools.
• Engineer security signals: Partner with security researchers and threat detection experts to build logic that identifies anomalous behavior and surfaces high-fidelity security insights.
• Define technical strategy: Lead the technical roadmap for the platform, making critical decisions on data modeling, storage strategies, and abstraction layers.
• Drive engineering excellence: Set the bar for code quality, system resilience, and operational maturity for a product requiring 99.99%+ availability.
• Cross-functional collaboration: Work closely with Stripe’s core platform and data teams to leverage global infrastructure while ensuring security data isolation.

Minimum Requirements

• 8+ years of professional software development experience, with history of shipping and maintaining complex, large-scale systems.
• Expertise in data engineering & distributed systems: Deep experience building and operating high-throughput data pipelines (e.g., Kafka, Flink, Spark, or similar streaming technologies).
• Strong programming fundamentals: Significant experience in languages like Java, C++, or Rust.
• System design leadership: Proven track record of designing robust, scalable architectures and leading cross-team technical initiatives.
• Operational mindset: Experience maintaining mission-critical services with high availability, on-call rotation, observability, and debugging.
• Communication & collaboration: Excellent technical writing skills and ability to mentor engineers while collaborating with non-technical stakeholders.

Preferred Qualifications

• Security domain knowledge: Prior experience building security analytics, threat detection systems, or observability platforms.
• Platform engineering: Experience building "as-a-service" infrastructure for engineers or external developers.
• Cloud native infrastructure: Prior experience with AWS, Kubernetes, and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform).
• Product intuition: Desire to work on "0-to-1" initiatives defining product requirements and user experience.
• Front-end/full stack experience: Prior React / TypeScript frontend experience.
