At Sumo Logic, we are building a data platform designed to power the analytics and investigations that are common in the Security Operation Centers of large enterprises. It is designed to accept hundreds of billions of events from security-relevant data sources (detection products, network sensors, log shippers, inventory systems) per day. It is cloud-native, multi-tenant, and is designed to simultaneously process events from thousands of our customers. And, it is security-focused — it is designed to perform the kinds of stateful analyses that security analysts demand.

We are building this platform the way companies should — with ruthless prioritization, and with a live and demanding customer base. By joining as a detection engineer, you have the opportunity to make our vision a reality, one feature at a time.

What You Will be Doing

• Building, improving, maintaining, and scaling stream processing services.
• Writing code. Reviewing code. Revising code.
• Giving feedback on our standards. Holding your teammates to them.
• Collaborating with teammates on major feature designs. Sometimes, you will own features, sometimes others will.
• Monitoring production, participating in on call rotations, and responding to production incidents

Who You Are

• You are a software engineer with 3+ years of experience. (We treat our data systems as software systems, and engineer them accordingly.)
• You love working with data. (Small data. Big data. All the data.)
• You have worked in AWS, GCP, or Azure
• You are excited to optimize for events per second (not requests per second).
• You have experience working with the technologies we use: Kafka, RocksDB, ElasticSearch, Postgres, Spark, HBase.
• You know (or want to write software in) Scala.
• You love collecting data about your software as much as writing software that collects data. We measure everything. We make data-driven decisions.
• You are collaborative. Nothing this hard can be accomplished by working alone. We work as a team.
• Minimum Bachelors in Computer Science.
