Software Engineer, Product Security Data Platforms
Leads design and implementation of scalable security data pipelines and API-first services to deliver real-time security telemetry for enterprise customers. Requires 8+ years in data engineering, distributed systems, and languages like Java, C++, or Rust.
About the job
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.
