Staff Software Engineer - Data Platform (Go/Java/Rust)

As a Staff Software Engineer at our AI Data Pipelines team, built on our acquisiton of Observo AI, you will be tasked with helping build our next big innovation: an AI-powered integration factory that makes connecting new data sources dramatically faster, with quality proven through automated validation. Operating as part of the AI SIEM engineering organization, you will architect and scale backend infrastructure, APIs, and cloud-native microservices designed to process petabyte-scale security and observability data. You will collaborate across global teams to shape our AI-driven data pipeline platform from the ground up.

What Will You Do?

Primary responsibilities include:

• Architect and scale the next-generation backend infrastructure and APIs for our AI-driven integration platform, engineered to process petabyte-scale security and observability data with ultra-low latency.
• Pioneer the development of an AI-powered automation engine that leverages LLMs and agentic workflows to autonomously generate, test, and validate data integrations end-to-end.
• Design and build cloud-native microservices and frameworks that seamlessly connect our platform to third-party APIs and major observability platforms like Splunk, Datadog, and New Relic.
• Lead the adoption and implementation of open data schemas (such as OCSF) to normalize massive, highly diverse multi-format datasets.
• Optimize system performance, cost efficiency, and reliability through continuous profiling, testing, and infrastructure improvements.
• Partner closely with core platform, Product, and global field teams to translate complex customer requirements into technical solutions and integrate automated workflows.
• Raise the engineering bar through active technical design leadership, comprehensive code reviews, testing best practices, and developer mentoring.

What Skills and Knowledge Will You Bring?

Ideal candidates will have:

• Multiple years of professional software engineering experience with demonstrated growth and depth in distributed systems, data engineering, or backend infrastructure.
• Strong proficiency in Go, Rust, and/or Java alongside a solid understanding of system design patterns and software architecture principles.
• Hands-on experience building production software with LLMs or AI agents, with a strong engineering focus on evaluation, testing, and guardrails.
• Extensive experience building data-intensive systems (ingestion, transformation, normalization, validation) and integrating complex third-party APIs.
• Solid hands-on experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure), containerization (Kubernetes, Docker), and GitOps-driven CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Helm, ArgoCD).
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience), with professional-level English fluency.
