You arent just building features; you are fundamentally improving our technical strategy, ensuring our "Source of Truth" scales to meet the needs of the AI era.
You will join a team that leans into:
AI curation: We are moving beyond manual data entry into a world where LLMs and autonomous agents assist in the discovery, categorization, and enrichment of global security threats. Youll be building sophisticated agentic systems driving high quality curation.
Intelligence at scale: We are re-architecting our core pipelines into a high-scale, event-driven ecosystem capable of delivering real-time, high-fidelity security updates to millions of users.
Bridging Human Expertise and Automation: We build the "Intelligence Workstation" that combines the intuition of world-class security analysts with the raw power of automated, machine-learning-driven ingestion engines.
What Youll Do
Drive technical direction of the team: You will develop a plan to replatform the existing system to cater for the increase in security intelligence. You use product deliverables to work towards a north star architecture in an iterative fashion.
Implement AI workflows: You will be the driving force of integrating AI into our curation workflows, turning manual research into automated, structured intelligence at global scale.
Coaching: You actively mentor and coach peers in improving their technical skills. Together with the EM, youre building a high-performing team.
Working across disciplines: You partner with various teams such as AI Research, Data Platform, and Scanning Engine teams to ensure our intelligence is unified and seamless across the development lifecycle.
Hands-on: You remain grounded in actual work which will help inform the long-term technical strategy. You are an active part of the team, engaging in pairing with peers, working in code and setting an example for craftsmanship.
