Principal Backend Engineer

Your Career

As a Principal Backend Engineer within our On-Prem platform team, you play a pivotal role in building a new on-premise platform for running Cortex products. You will design and develop an infrastructure that supports billions of events per second, storing, processing and making them accessible and visible to the user while collaborating with the industry’s leading cyber products. Building a highly available, reliable and secured on-premise platform that performs just as good as the cloud product is a significant challenge. Your crucial role goes beyond development, involving cross-organizational impact collaboration to ensure success.

In this role, you will need to be creative, innovative and demonstrate deep knowledge in Kubernetes, conducting research to find new technologies, with a can-do approach, and an internal drive for excellence and improvement.
