## About the Role

We are looking for developers with a passion for building software to collect, aggregate, and analyze data at scale using continuous, incremental development methodologies. Working with a close-knit team across multiple locations, you will help us architect and evolve the pipeline to support even larger volumes via cloud data warehouses. You will bring actionable security insights to the customer through integrating new data sources, surfacing new features from existing data, and refining the rating algorithm. Collaborating with data science and research teams, you will build trust with Bitsight customers in the quality and integrity of our data.

Apart from domain skills, what we truly value are strong generalists: those with the critical thinking skills to use a variety of technologies and languages and pick up new concepts when needed. Strong collaboration skills are a must. We offer an opportunity to make a unique impact, not just as an individual but on the entire engineering team.
What We're Looking For:

 * Prior experience building and operating large-scale data pipelines
 * Strong proficiency in modern Java language programming
 * Strong computer science fundamentals in design, data structures, and algorithms
 * Experience working with a team of engineers, designers, and product owners in delivering a product to end-users
 * Excellent (English) written and verbal communication skills

Preferred Skills:

 * Experience with Python
 * Experience with Hadoop, Spark ecosystems
 * Experience with Data Lakehouse tech stack (e.g., Apache Iceberg)
 * Experience with Elasticsearch or OpenSearch
 * Experience with CI/CD and Kubernetes
 * Experience with modern AI development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor, or LLMs)
 * Experience working in the IT security domain
