Get to Know the Team
We work with Security Operations, incident responders, platform teams, and other cyber functions to automate manual and complex security processes through reusable services, integrations, and workflows. We also turn telemetry, threat intelligence, incident findings, and purple-team findings into high-fidelity detections and automated responses. Using detection-as-code across SIEM, EDR, SOAR, and security data lake platforms, we support security visibility and signal quality. Additionally, we support detection coverage and response across cloud, SaaS, endpoint, and identity environments.

- At least six years of software-engineering experience, with computer-science fundamentals and experience designing and operating production systems.
- Proficiency in at least one programming language, with the willingness to work in Go and Python.
- Experience building backend services, APIs, integrations, and data-processing workflows.
- Hands-on experience with AWS and NoSQL technologies.
- Experience with CI/CD, automated testing, version control, code review, observability, reliability, scalability, and incident troubleshooting.

Meet the Security team
Our Security people are the guardians of all information across the company. We're the folks who plan, execute, and set rules to keep everything – from people to places and the important stuff – super secure.
The team is made up of tenacious individuals who never take ‘impossible’ for an answer. We chisel away at problems bit by bit and sometimes we tear the house down completely – but we never walk away from solving some of the biggest challenges that could compromise our users' trust and safety.

Integrity is a fascinating field to be in. Saving a life by preventing a road accident, blocking an account takeover by a fraudster, or outsmarting a scrupulous driver attempting to make fake bookings; all of these are challenging and interesting problems to solve. We use a tonne of data, algorithms, and tech, but it's just as crucial to get what's happening on the ground and in the minds of users and fraudsters to drive results.
