We’re looking for a Senior Data Engineer to join a fast-paced cybersecurity organization building large-scale data systems that power threat detection, correlation, and automated remediation — including GenAI-driven security tools used by both operations teams and leadership.
This is a data engineering–first role (~80% DE / ~20% ML exposure). Strong engineering fundamentals matter far more than tool familiarity.
- Build and maintain large-scale, high-volume data pipelines
- Design robust ETL/ELT workflows using PySpark, Spark, and Databricks
- Develop and optimize data systems on AWS (S3, Glue, EMR, Lambda, etc.)
- Work with streaming & near real-time data (Kafka, APIs, micro-batching)
- Support cybersecurity analytics, log processing, and threat detection use cases
- Ensure pipelines are scalable, reliable, and production-grade
- Collaborate closely with data science, cybersecurity, and platform teams

- Hands-on or strong exposure to Kafka (consumer-side understanding required)
- API-based integrations
- Experience with high-volume systems (not just light micro-batching)
