The Device Detections and Tasking team is responsible for processing data from our customers’ environments and running automated detections on that data as quickly as possible, because every second counts during a security incident. We're building a next-generation data ingestion and detection pipeline that empowers our detection and response engineers to focus on what they love about security.
To accomplish these goals we need help building out our data pipeline and user interface, which will allow our users to describe detection logic; and managing the large resulting dataset. Proficiency with React is strongly preferred, along with an eagerness to learn more about data-intensive systems (in Go). If this sounds like you, then we believe you'll love our team, and we’d love to talk to you!
