ABOUT

THE ROLE As an Engineer, you serve as a technical specialist delivering the engineering that powers the product. You develop insight into technical architecture and design while building robust, scalable, and secure software components. You solve engineering problems, balance the delivery of new capabilities with software quality and reliability, and contribute to code reviews that maintain functional accuracy across the team. You learn the design and architecture of the platform, participate in team ceremonies and technical discussions, and grow your ability to influence how products and services are built and operated.

You will use your technology acumen to provide input on new technologies and contribute to the design, lifecycle management, and total cost of ownership of services. You will participate in research and proof-of-concept initiatives, write and maintain code based on established designs, and help deliver high-performing, repeatable, and secure solutions.

With guidance from senior engineers, you will participate in construction, automation, debugging, testing, implementation, incident response, and operational support activities while following architectural and engineering best practices.

ABOUT THIS TEAMThe Email and Data Protection team builds and operates critical capabilities that protect Target's team members, guests, applications, and information from malicious email content and data-related threats. The team owns and advances a layered email security platform that includes vended security products, internally developed services, and integrations across Target's cybersecurity ecosystem.

A major focus of this role is Target's real-time email data platform, which ingests, processes, scans, enriches, and routes enterprise email telemetry for security analysis. The platform integrates with Target's Strelka file-scanning platform and Google Security Operations to deliver streaming data, detections, alerts, and investigative context to security  this role, you will help maintain and enhance the backend services, data pipelines, APIs, automated tests, and operational capabilities that make this platform reliable and effective.

Cybersecurity is a fast-changing engineering domain. Threat actors continue to adopt new automation and advanced AI techniques, which requires defenders to build adaptable systems, improve detection speed, and respond creatively to emerging risks.

This role provides an opportunity to apply strong software engineering fundamentals to meaningful work that helps protect a large-scale enterprise while developing valuable security domain knowledge.

Prior cybersecurity or email security experience is not required. This is a software engineering role within the Cybersecurity organization, and engineers with strong development fundamentals, curiosity, and an interest in distributed systems can grow successfully in the role.
