• Security data platforms: Designing storage, indexing, and access patterns for highly dimensional, time-oriented security data to support real-time analysis and historical investigation.

You will write production code, lead technical design, mentor engineers, and partner closely with Product, ML, and Security domain experts to solve complex distributedsystems problems.
