Software Engineer, Product Security Data Platforms

As a Senior Software Engineer on this founding team, you'll lead the technical design and implementation of our core security data pipelines. You'll define how we capture security signals, process them at scale, and deliver them to our users through robust, developer-friendly interfaces. If you have security domain knowledge, you'll have opportunities to help shape product vision., * Architect scalable foundations. Design and implement a highly available, low-latency pipeline capable of processing and augmenting millions of events per second into structured security telemetry.

• Build API-first products. Develop the core services and streaming APIs that enable enterprise customers to seamlessly ingest security signals into their own internal security operations centers and analytics tools.
• Engineer security signals. Partner with security researchers and threat detection experts to build the logic that identifies anomalous behavior and surfaces high-fidelity security insights.
• Define technical strategy. Lead the technical roadmap for the platform, making critical decisions on data modeling, storage strategies, and the abstraction layers that will support future security products.
• Drive engineering excellence. As a senior leader, you'll set the bar for code quality, system resilience, and operational maturity for a product that requires 99.99%+ availability.
• Collaborate cross-functionally. Work closely with the Stripe core platform and data teams to leverage global infrastructure while ensuring security data remains isolated and protected., Office-assigned Stripes in most of our locations are currently expected to spend at least 50% of the time in a given month in their local office or with users. This expectation may vary depending on role, team and location. For example, Stripes in Stripe Delivery Center roles in Mexico City, Mexico, Bengaluru, India, and Dublin, Ireland work 100% from the office. Also, some teams have greater in-office attendance requirements, to appropriately support our users and workflows, which the hiring manager will discuss. This approach helps strike a balance between bringing people together for in-person collaboration and learning from each other, while supporting flexibility when possible.

• 2+ years of professional software development experience, with a history of shipping and maintaining complex, large-scale systems
• Expertise in data engineering and distributed systems, with deep experience building and operating high-throughput data pipelines (e.g., Kafka, Flink, Spark, or similar streaming technologies)
• Strong programming fundamentals, significant experience in languages like Java, C++, or Rust
• Operational mindset, experience maintaining business-critical services with high availability requirements, on-call rotation, and a strong focus on observability and debugging
• Communication and collaboration skills, excellent technical writing skills for drafting design documents and the ability to mentor other engineers while collaborating with non-technical stakeholders, * Security domain knowledge, with prior experience building security analytics, threat detection systems, or observability platforms.
• Platform engineering with experience building "as-a-service" infrastructure where the primary users are other engineers or external developers.
• Cloud native infrastructure, with prior experience with AWS, Kubernetes, and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform).
• Product intuition and a desire to work on "0-to-1" initiatives where you help define the product requirements and user experience alongside engineering.
• Front-end or full stack experience is a plus, particularly with React or TypeScript.
