As a Sr. Security Data Engineer at Adobe, you will transform petabyte-scale security data into clear intelligence. You will deliver real impact for technical teams and executive leadership. We prioritize practical security, automation, and seamless data flow throughout the company, and we want someone who's excited to help build what that looks like. The right candidate bridges the gap between raw security data and smart business decisions. Compose resilient data pipelines, build sophisticated Power BI reporting solutions, and enable self-service insights throughout the security division. You're proactive, thrive in complexity, and know how to build toward simplicity over time. The Challenge Own the full lifecycle of our security data infrastructure, from pipeline to dashboard. Day to day, this means: * Building and maintaining a scalable security data pipeline infrastructure that teams across the organization can rely on. * Partnering with engineering teams on security and privacy initiatives, ensuring data accessibility, quality, and reliability are built in from the start. * Collaborating with Security Incident Response Engineers on threat detection (alerts, searches, reports) and supporting active investigations. * Crafting and building advanced Power BI dashboards that surface security metrics, targets, and trends for technical and executive partners alike. * Maintaining a BI analytics layer that enables self-service reporting across the security organization with consistent governance, dataset certification, and report versioning. * Transforming complex security data into clear visual stories, making insights around alert volumes, MTTD/MTTR, vulnerability posture, and compliance accessible to non-technical audiences. * Developing processes for analytics, data modeling, and data production, and evaluating new tooling and automation opportunities. ## Related Videos - [From Messy Queries to Scalable Systems - How Data Engineering actually works](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100203-from-messy-queries-to-scalable-systems-how-data-engineering-actually-works) - [Docker Compose: Rediscovered](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1978-docker-compose-rediscovered) - [What Developers Get Wrong About Application Quality](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/233-what-developers-get-wrong-about-application-quality) - [3x Performance: A Humbling Journey](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100165-3x-performance-a-humbling-journey) - [Docker build without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100114-docker-build-without-docker) - [NoCode LiveCode: Leveraging AI Tools to Craft Fully Functional Apps!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1169-nocode-livecode-leveraging-ai-tools-to-craft-fully-functional-apps) ## Related Articles - [Making Data Warehouses Fast: A Developer’s Story](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/107-making-data-warehouses-fast-a-developer-s-story) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Top Big Data Technologies That You Need to Know](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/108-top-big-data-technologies-that-you-need-to-know) - [Data Engineer Salary UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/253-data-engineer-salary-uk) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Coffee with Developers - Maria Apazoglou - Making AI understandable for all in production](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/475-coffee-with-developers-maria-apazoglou-making-ai-understandable-for-all-in-production)
