In this high-impact individual contributor (IC) role, you will be responsible for the technical design and hands-on implementation of a scalable, high-quality platform that powers critical security data flows. You will act as a technical pillar, building core capabilities including data ingestion, processing, storage, APIs, and analytics integration, ensuring the system is both robust and developer-friendly. You will drive the platform's technical evolution, solving complex distributed systems challenges and working cross-functionally with data producers and consumers to ensure seamless integration. While this is an IC role, your influence will be broad; you will provide technical guidance to peers, set engineering standards, and help envision the transition of this platform into a multi-tenant SaaS product. Your work will empower internal stakeholders and ensure Salesforce scales its business impact securely and efficiently. Responsibilities * Technical Leadership & Strategy * Architect and implement the technical roadmap for the Security Data Platform, ensuring it meets long-term scalability and security requirements. * Drive the technical design for evolving the platform into a multi-tenant SaaS product capable of serving global customers. * Platform Engineering & Implementation * Lead the hands-on development of scalable, secure, and reliable platform capabilities using Apache Spark, AWS S3, and streaming/batch pipelines. * Design and build self-service onboarding tools for data producers and high-performance APIs for data consumers. * Technical Collaboration * Partner with data producers to architect high-quality data ingestion patterns, resolving complex structural inconsistencies at the source. * Act as a technical consultant for internal stakeholders, translating business and security needs into actionable technical specifications. * Influence technical decisions across teams to ensure architectural alignment and overcome integration bottlenecks. * Operational Excellence & Performance * Define and implement robust monitoring, alerting, and automated testing frameworks to guarantee data integrity and platform reliability. * Perform deep-dive performance tuning and cost-optimization across all platform components and cloud infrastructure. * Technical Mentorship & Quality * Elevate the engineering bar by conducting rigorous code reviews, defining best practices, and mentoring junior/mid-level engineers. * Foster a culture of technical excellence, accountability, and continuous improvement within the engineering community. * Innovation * Proactively identify and prototype opportunities to incorporate AI/ML for advanced risk assessment and automated remediation. * Research emerging industry trends in cybersecurity and data engineering to keep the platform at the cutting edge. ## Related Videos - [Shifting Stress to Progress— Understanding DevOps to do DevOps Better](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/268-shifting-stress-to-progress-understanding-devops-to-do-devops-better) - [For the REST of us: API First and Conway’s Law](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1932-for-the-rest-of-us-api-first-and-conway-s-law) - [Alibaba Big Data and Machine Learning Technology](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/37-alibaba-big-data-and-machine-learning-technology) - [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) - [From DevOps to Scaled DevOps: How We’re Rebuilding Continuous Delivery as a Platform](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100018-from-devops-to-scaled-devops-how-we-re-rebuilding-continuous-delivery-as-a-platform) - [Strategies to accelerate SaaS Application Development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1078-strategies-to-accelerate-saas-application-development) ## Related Articles - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [The Best Software Developer Blogs to Read](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/156-the-best-software-developer-blogs-to-read) - [The Best X (Twitter) Accounts for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/294-the-best-x-twitter-accounts-for-developers) - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated)
