Collected role description
What You Will Do Own the architecture. Set the technical direction for multi-tenant, globally distributed systems that process billions of security events. Make the one-way-door calls on data models, service boundaries, and platform primitives Solve the unsolved. Take ambiguous, high-stakes problems real-time correlation at petabyte scale, sub-second graph queries, zero-downtime multi-region failover from whiteboard to production Raise the engineering bar. Set the standard for design reviews, code quality, observability, and on-call excellence. Mentor senior engineers into principal-caliber thinkers. Build AI-native. Treat LLMs and agents as first-class citizens of the stack both in the product (agentic SOAR, threat reasoning, copilots) and in how we build (AI-assisted development, vibe coding, eval-driven iteration). Ship 10x faster without shipping 10x bugs. Master the data. Model complex security telemetry across relational, document, graph, vector, and time-series stores. Tune the queries nobody else can tune Wield Kubernetes like a weapon. Design the platform so a 10x customer load is a config change, not a rewrite Be opinionated, not precious. Pick the boring tech when it’s right. Pick the bleeding edge when it wins. Defend both with data. Requirements What We Are Looking For 10+ years building production software, with meaningful time as a tech lead, staff, or principal in a high-growth startup or a team that behaves like one Architect’s mindset. You zoom from a CRD controller to a customer SLO to a board slide in the same meeting. You design for 10x, not for today Deep distributed systems chops. Consistency trade-offs, backpressure, idempotency, partitioning, and failure modes are your native language Kubernetes at real scale. Operators, multi-cluster, service mesh, cost and performance tuning not just kubectl apply Database depth across paradigms. Strong in PostgreSQL or MySQL at scale, plus working mastery of a NoSQL, search (Elastic/OpenSearch), graph (Neo4j/JanusGraph), or vector store. You’ve hunted down an N+1 at 3 AM and enjoyed it Modern language fluency. Go and/or Python in production; comfortable reading anything. Clean, testable, observable code is non-negotiable AI-native engineer. You use Claude / Cursor / Copilot / agentic tools daily to outperform engineers who don’t. You know where vibe coding shines and where it’s dangerous and you teach the team the difference Cloud-native at heart. AWS (or GCP/Azure) in depth IAM, networking, cost, reliability. Terraform is muscle memory Security instinct. Threat modeling, secure-by-default design, and zero-trust patterns are part of how you think before anyone asks Sharp. Fast. Hungry. You’d rather ship, measure, and iterate than debate. You work hard because the problems are worth it not because someone is watching
