• Strong operability instincts and technical leadership across team boundaries

Preferred qualifications:

• Experience with detection-as-code or rule- and DSL-driven systems
• Experience building platform tooling for non-engineer authors

The team uses a variety of technologies, including Go, Kafka, Temporal, Redis, ClickHouse, Elasticsearch, and Kubernetes across AWS and Azure.
