About The Position

Scanner is building the world's fastest full-text search and detection platform for Security Data Lakes, using Rust. The platform allows security teams to search years and petabytes of logs in seconds, eliminate SIEM coverage blind spots at a lower cost, and deploy quickly while maintaining data custody. The company believes security tools should scale with data, not budget, and that teams shouldn't have to choose between comprehensive coverage and financial sustainability. The team is early-stage, offering significant impact and opportunities to solve hard technical problems, work pragmatically, and move fast. They are builders focused on creating transformative tools for security teams dealing with massive data challenges.

Requirements

A minimum of 3 years of professional experience in software development, with an emphasis on backend technologies.

General familiarity with databases, database internals, and data pipelines/warehouses.
A craft-first stance on AI coding tools. You use them when they accelerate delivery, and you own every line of code you commit.
Comfort working in a fast-paced and low process environment.

Develop ingestion pipelines that pull massive log streams from cloud providers and SaaS platforms into Scanner.
