Platform Consultant

Role Description

This role sits within Allstate Cyber Operations & Platforms as part of a set of Digital Product Teams responsible for building and operating a cohesive, scalable Security Operations platform ecosystem. This ecosystem spans:

• Agentic Cyber Platforms (ACP): Operationalizing AI as a core cyber capability through shared platforms, orchestration patterns, and governance-by-design.
• Security Data & Observability (SD&O): Engineering and managing the Security Operations Data Plane, enabling high-fidelity telemetry, analytics, and AI-ready data.
• Tooling & Platform (T&P): Ensuring security tooling is integrated, governed, and aligned as part of a unified platform rather than disconnected solutions.

The Platform Consultant defines and drives architecture patterns, integration standards, and ecosystem strategy across AI platforms, security data, and tooling. This role ensures the environment evolves as a coherent, reusable, and governed platform ecosystem, enabling safe, scalable adoption through well-defined “paved roads.” You will translate operational intent into enterprise-scale platform design, ensuring interoperability between AI systems, data platforms, and tooling while minimizing fragmentation and maximizing reuse.

Qualifications

• A minimum of 5 years software engineering experience in at least 3 programming paradigms to include:
  • Object-oriented (Java & JavaScript required and at least one other language)
  • Procedural / systems (e.g. Go, Rust, C)
  • Functional (e.g. F#, Elixir, Clojure, Haskell)
• Experience using modern development tools (e.g., IntelliJ or VS Code, Git/GitHub, Spring Boot) and designing robust RESTful APIs.
• A minimum of 3 years hands-on expertise in architecting and delivering large scale distributed systems, such as cloud native microservices on Docker/Kubernetes, deployed on modern cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or equivalent), ensuring scalability, high availability, and performance.
• Demonstrated success as a high impact technical advisor to multiple engineering teams, with proven ability to influence architecture direction and mentor engineers in best practices with proven leadership responsibilities.
• Expert level knowledge of Agile/XP and DevOps methodologies, including paired programming, test driven development (TDD), and CI/CD automation, with a track record of using these practices to accelerate delivery and improve quality.

Requirements

• Experience with agentic AI platforms, governance, and safe-action design.
• Familiarity with security operations ecosystems and analyst workflows.
• Experience with:
  • Telemetry and observability systems.
  • Data lineage, metadata, and data quality frameworks.
  • Canonical data models and analytics-ready datasets.
• Background in tooling integration and platform standardization (golden paths/paved roads).
• Experience aligning AI, data, and tooling strategies into a unified platform vision.

Benefits

• Compensation offered for this role is $134,000.00 - $209,750.00 annually and is based on experience and qualifications.
• Allstate provides a comprehensive technology setup, including a laptop, monitors, headset, keyboard, and mouse.
• Employees eligible to work from home also receive a monthly connectivity reimbursement to help offset internet costs.
