You’ll fit right in if you're someone who adopts a first-principles approach to problem-solving, love deep-diving into distributed systems to optimize scale and performance, and enjoy the challenge of making data flow seamlessly at a massive scale.

This on-site position is based in Palo Alto, California. You will join a global, cross-border team of talented engineers operating across India, Germany, and the USA.

• Architectural Leadership:
  Lead the design and implementation of distributed microservices for low-latency data processing and high availability.
• Scale & Performance:
  Build and optimize data pipelines capable of handling millions of records, ensuring the platform scales elastically in hybrid environments.
• Tech Stack Orchestration:
  Leverage a sophisticated stack to build durable, stateful workflows to manage complex backend processes.
• Data Strategy:
  Design schemas and optimize queries across a polyglot persistence layer (Open Search, PostgreSQL, Redis, and Neo4j) to provide time sensistive insights to customers.
• Mentorship:
  Act as a key technical leader by conducting deep-dive code reviews, driving engineering best practices, and mentoring junior engineers.

• Minimum of 12+ years of experience in software development with a focus on backend systems.
• Proven experience leading the end-to-end lifecycle of a product, from initial design to production deployment and maintenance.

• Expert Level (GoLang & Python):
  Deep mastery of Go (concurrency, profiling, and performance tuning) and Python (data manipulation and backend services).
• Moderate Level (C++):
  Ability to maintain and optimize performance-critical components or interface with lower-level system libraries.

• Microservices at Scale:
  Proven experience designing and delivering production-grade microservices for high-throughput, cloud-scale environments.
• Communication Protocols:
  Proficiency in gRPC, Google Protocol Buffers (Protobuf), and RESTful API design, with a deep understanding of the HTTP/S stack.
• Data Persistence & Search:
  Hands-on experience with one or more of the following:
  Open Search/Elasticsearch, PostgreSQL, Redis, or Neo4j (or their equivalents).

• Networking Domain Expertise:
  Strong understanding of L4-L7 networking, TCP/IP, HTTP/S protocols, and load-balancing principles.
• Advanced Data Engineering:
  Background in building data pipelines specifically for security and intelligence platforms (e.g., threat detection, anomaly detection, or predictive analytics).
• Analytics Background:
  Familiarity with time-series data, stream processing, and large-scale data visualization backend logic.
• Data Science Tools:
  Experience with data modeling and statistical analysis using Python libraries such as Pandas, Num Py, and Scikit-Learn.
• Orchestration:
  Working knowledge of Kubernetes and experience with Temporal (or similar workflow engines like Cadence) for managing distributed transactions.
• Education:
  
  BS/MS in Engineering Computer Science or a related technical field.
