Join us in the fight for a safer cyberspace

Why it's great to work here We are a location-independent company with a fully distributed team. We believe diversity of experience, background, and thinking leads to stronger teams and a better product. We value autonomy, intellectual honesty, practical decision-making, and engineers who take ownership of outcomes rather than waiting for perfectly defined tasks.

We offer an intellectually stimulating company environment and you'll be working with a bright, dedicated team from across the globe. Additionally, we offer flexible time off, sick days, all public holidays, and stock options.

What's cool about this job We are building the data and intelligence foundation required to turn large, diverse sources of threat data into reliable, explainable, and actionable protection for our customers. You will work with a dedicated global team on technically difficult problems involving cybersecurity, distributed systems, data engineering, machine learning, and SaaS product development.

We are hiring a Senior Data Engineer to build the production services and pipelines that acquire, normalize, enrich, relate, score, and deliver threat intelligence through BforeAI's customer-facing SaaS product.

What you'll be doing This is a hands-on product-engineering role. You will design systems and write production software for event-driven data processing and we need an engineer who understands when a managed service is appropriate, when custom code is necessary, and how to deliver either choice as a reliable product capability.

Build product data services Design, implement, test, deploy, and operate production services for ingestion, normalization, enrichment, identity resolution, scoring, and intelligence delivery. Build maintainable pipeline workers, event consumers, APIs, scheduled processes, and supporting libraries rather than relying exclusively on notebooks, visual workflows, or vendor configuration. Own the complete software lifecycle, including architecture, implementation, testing, deployment, monitoring, incident response, and improvement. Establish reusable engineering patterns that other members of the team can follow.

Engineer reliable event-driven pipelines Develop asynchronous workflows with explicit data, event, and work contracts. Design for duplicate delivery, ordering constraints, idempotency, retries, timeouts, partial failure, dead-letter handling, backpressure, and recovery. Make pipeline state and failures observable, with reconciliation that identifies missing, delayed, duplicated, or inconsistent processing. Support safe replay and reprocessing without silently changing the meaning of historical results.

Protect data integrity and tenant boundaries Preserve source evidence, provenance, lineage, processing context, and applicable versions from the first write so customer-visible results remain explainable. Define validation and quality controls at service boundaries and support safe evolution of schemas, contracts, and processing logic. Preserve tenant isolation while safely combining shared intelligence with customer-private evidence, configuration, and conclusions. Apply authorization, retention, deletion, audit, GDPR, and SOC 2 requirements throughout data-processing workflows.

Shape the architecture and team Evaluate when to use a managed service, open-source component, existing capability, or purpose-built service based on product and operational requirements. Contribute to architecture through working software, written proposals, prototypes, and constructive technical review. Work with Product, Platform Engineering, Threat Research, Data Science, Security, and customer-facing teams. Platform Engineering includes Data Engineering and SRE responsibilities. Translate product requirements into clear technical contracts, communicate tradeoffs, and mentor engineers in modern data and distributed-systems practices.

You’ll be a great fit if You have significant hands-on experience building and operating data-intensive software for an externally used SaaS product. You are a strong software engineer who specializes in data systems, not solely a user or administrator of data tools. You have production development experience with Go, Scala, Rust, Java, or another comparable language used to build reliable backe
