About The Position

We’re hiring a Platform Integration Software Engineer to help take advanced detection systems from prototype to production-grade, mission-critical services. This is a fast-moving, high-impact engagement where you’ll work on two parallel, real-world engineering initiatives that support large-scale infrastructure operations. If you enjoy event-driven systems, care deeply about reliability and observability, and want to see your work deployed and used quickly—this role was built for you.

Creating and maintaining CI/CD pipelines with security and quality gates
Instrumenting services with logging, metrics, tracing, SLOs, and alerts
Writing runbooks and operational documentation to support production readiness
Partnering with analytics and solutions engineers to harden low/no-code detectors into production services
Supporting production validation and incident triage when needed
