Company mission
To enable all security teams, irrespective of size or budget, to perform security operations with the efficiency and effectiveness needed to prevent breaches.
Role
Who you are
- Strong backend and data systems experience
- Python, Golang, or Node.js, with proven experience building and operating high-throughput ingestion systems in production
- Cloud, streaming, and data platform expertise
- Experience with AWS, GCP, or Azure (S3, GCS, Data Lake), streaming systems (Kafka, Kinesis — including delivery semantics and consumer group management), and large-scale data lake design (partitioning, formats, lifecycle)
- Production-grade infrastructure and reliability practices
- Experience with zero-downtime migrations (dual-write, backfills, safe cutovers), Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Pulumi), CI/CD (canary + rollback), and operating and monitoring data platforms in production (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog), including SLO definition and incident response
- Strong distributed systems and storage fundamentals
- Fault tolerance, backpressure handling, graceful degradation, partition tolerance, plus experience with databases, object storage, and performance tuning for high-throughput workloads
- Modern infrastructure stack experience
- Containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes) for deploying and scaling stateful service
What the job involves
- As a Staff Software Engineer at Radiant Security, you’ll own the full lifecycle of customer security telemetry — from ingestion to storage in our data lake
- When customers face active incidents, our ingestion pipeline is mission-critical. Reliability and operational excellence here are product requirements, not just engineering ideals
- You’ll drive the scalability and reliability of our ingestion infrastructure, define the architecture of our data lake, and establish the DevOps practices that allow a lean team to evolve safely over time
- Own and scale our ingestion platform end-to-end
- Design and operate high-throughput ingestion pipelines with zero-downtime deployment patterns (dual-write, backfills, safe rollback), ensuring resilience under real-world failure modes (backpressure under load spikes, delivery guarantees, DLQs, replay mechanisms) and enforcing strict tenant isolation (per-tenant rate limiting, noisy neighbor prevention, storage partitioning across pipeline and lake layers)
- Define and evolve our data lake architecture
- Own storage layout, partitioning, schema design, and ensuring efficient high-throughput writes and reliable downstream consumption, while managing lifecycle (compaction, retention, cold storage, cost optimization)
- Build and operationalize platform foundations
- Develop deployment pipelines for stateful services, per-tenant quota systems, synthetic load testing, and monitoring that the broader engineering team depends on
- Establish reliability standards and operate in production
- Define and enforce SLOs (latency, durability, availability), including alerting, and incident response, while continuously improving observability and operational excellence
- Drive technical leadership and platform strategy
- Partner with product and engineering leadership to translate strategic goals into clear requirements and execution plans, while mentoring engineers, setting technical direction, and raising the bar on design, reliability, and operational excellence across the team

Our take
Today's security operations centres (SOCs) grapple with an overwhelming amount of data generated by numerous security tools. This leads to inefficiencies in their ability to protect organisations from constantly evolving cyber threats.
Radiant Security has emerged as an AI-enhanced security operations solution, offering a SOC co-pilot that acts as a force multiplier for analysts, automating laborious tasks such as alert triage and incident investigation. By leveraging the scalability and analytical capabilities of AI, the solution enables SOC teams to efficiently analyse extensive and disparate data sets, amplifying the productivity of their analysts.
With the recent closure of a successful funding round, Radiant Security is well-positioned to drive further innovation and expansion. The infusion of capital will enable the company to advance its cutting-edge technologies, expand engineering capabilities, and strengthen its go-to-market strategy as it addresses longstanding security challenges through AI.
