Our mission is simple:
End Cyber Risk. We’re looking for a Senior Developer to be part of making that happen.

We are an innovation team within R&D, building internal products that power our Threat Intelligence and Detection authoring teams to secure our customers. Working at petabyte scale, we build systems that enhance existing detections and unlock entirely new detection capabilities. We are mission-driven to secure the customer. We don't just follow industry standards, we help define them, building detection systems that set the bar for what's possible in cyber defence.

The team is responsible for the ingestion, correlation, and operationalization of threat intelligence for both detection and research purposes. We are committed to teaching, supporting, and growing one another while owning outcomes end to end, from greenfield ideation through to deploying industry-first detection capabilities. This role is for a highly skilled developer responsible for delivering major product features independently, mentoring team members, and driving technical excellence across software development practices.

The role plays a key part in architecture, design, and strategic initiatives. The ideal candidate has comprehensive knowledge of software development practices, mastery over writing and debugging code, and provides feedback to others on the team. They perform complex programming tasks and implement software systems, often including other team members as part of the effort. They assume responsibility for the quality and delivery of their code, participate in architecture reviews and technical design sessions, and complete major product features with little or no guidance while resolving dependencies across teams.

Our team is collaborative and cross-functional, working closely with data scientists, security researchers, and SOC analysts. We maintain a high-quality bar, with a culture of consistent iteration, monitoring, and improvement, and regularly meet with internal customers to understand their needs and design solutions that address them.
