We are not just building web apps; we are solving a complex Big Data problem. You will build and maintain the high-throughput, event-driven pipelines responsible for processing the history of assets and vulnerabilities.

Your work will unblock integrations across the entire company. * Own Your Stack (DevOps): We support our services in the wild. You won't just write code; you will use Terraform and Datadog to deploy, monitor, and ensure the health of your services in production. What You’ll Need: * 4+ years of Backend Engineering experience with a focus on high-volume data processing or distributed systems. * Strong JVM Proficiency: Deep experience with Java, Kotlin,is required. You should understand memory management and performance within the JVM ecosystem. * Stream Processing Architecture: Proven experience with Kafka (ideally), AWS Kinesis, et al. You understand topics, partitions, and how to process teams of data asynchronously * To be considered for this role, you must meet one of the following criteria: Hybrid with the ability to commute to our Columbia, MD/Northern VA office, Hybrid with the ability to commute to our Boston, MA office, or Remote: Currently reside in the San Francisco Bay Area, CA * Distributed Systems Knowledge: You understand the challenges of microservices, eventual consistency, and data resiliency. * Stateful Processing Logic: Experience calculating "state" from a history of events. You understand how to take a stream of raw data and "collapse" it into a current status. * DevOps Mindset: Hands-on experience with Terraform for infrastructure-as-code and observability tools like Datadog to monitor metrics and graphs. * Database Experience: Proficiency with SQL and NoSQL data stores (PostgreSQL, DynamoDB, or similar) to store and retrieve state data. And Ideally:

• Experience with Event Sourcing or CQRS patterns.
• While security background is a plus, we value Big Data/Data Pipeline
