About the Role

You will join the Collections & Alerts software development team to build the platform's data ingestion and processing infrastructure. Your pipelines power real-time intelligence; when they fail, customers notice. You'll design and build high-volume data pipelines, architect event-driven systems that process intelligence data at scale, optimize queries and schemas for heavy load, instrument services for observability, and debug production issues across distributed systems. You'll work directly with our intelligence analysts and product team to understand requirements and ensure software meets both performance and analytical needs.
