Complex Problem Solving: Analyze and resolve intricate security challenges by applying innovative techniques and strategies to ensure that we build secure solutions.

Collaboration & Communication: Serve as the primary liaison between the security team and other departments, clearly communicating technical concepts and solutions. Be able to present complex technical solutions to executive leadership.

Mentorship: Provide guidance and mentorship to junior developers, fostering a culture of continuous learning and improvement.

What you will bring:

• BS or MS degree in Computer Science (or related fields) with 9+ years of development work experience with security either in applications or tools development.

• Minimum 5 years of experience in Apache Flink, Kafka, Hadoop, Java and Spark SQL and similar technologies preferred.
