• Own the production Vertex Synapse instance, including platform health, backend operations, cron monitoring, and data hygiene
• Build and maintain intelligence feed integrations, enrichments, and tagging so new sources land modeled and usable by stakeholders
• Ship intelligence into downstream controls and data pipelines, including detections, blocklists, data warehouses, and agent workflows
• Partner across Security and Product to translate intelligence requirements into production capabilities
• Rapidly prototype and implement features, fixes, and tooling as required by the team's Intelligence Analysts and stakeholders

Required Skills and Experience:

• 2+ years building and operating threat intelligence platforms or security data pipelines in production environments
• Software development experience in Python, Go, and/or Storm, including deploying production-quality code with CI/CD ownership after ship
• Experience ingesting, modeling, tagging, and lifecycle-managing indicators and related intelligence data at scale
• Track record of troubleshooting and restoring production systems and data quality issues, then driving root-cause fixes to prevent recurrence
• Experience translating cross-functional stakeholder needs into technical solutions within a security operations context
