  • Performance Optimization: Continuously profile, benchmark, and optimize distributed services to maintain minimal processing latency under heavy workloads. 
  • API & Integration Engineering: Design and implement resilient, secure APIs to interface with various enterprise IT and cybersecurity tools. 
  • Security & Compliance: Ensure all platform components adhere to strict security standards, incorporating robust encryption, token-based authentication (OAuth 2.0), and data protection protocols. 

Technical Qualifications 

Required Experience 

  • Professional Experience: 5+ years of full-stack or backend-heavy development experience building distributed, high-throughput systems. 
  • Core Languages: Strong proficiency in Rust is required. Familiarity with Go, Java, or C++ is highly valued. 
  • Data Pipelines & Streaming: Hands-on experience with Apache Kafka, the ELK stack, and distributed data processing frameworks (e.g., Flink, Spark, Redis). 
  • Infrastructure & Cloud: Proven experience with cloud-native environments, microservices architectures, and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes). 
  • Databases: Strong understanding of SQL and NoSQL databases, including optimization for high-write, data-heavy environments. 
  • Observability: Familiarity with telemetry routing and monitoring tools like Datadog and Vector. 

Preferred Qualifications 

  • Familiarity with SIEM systems or the application of machine learning within data streams. 
  • Experience with time-series databases, data warehousing solutions, and GraphQL.
