Senior Data Engineer

Our mission is simple:  
Deliver the power of collective cybersecurity to defend companies, sectors, and nations.  For decades, companies have been defending against cyber attacks on their own while adversaries have been organizing themselves into sophisticated hacker networks, until now with IronNet Collective Defense. 
Bringing together some of the best minds in cybersecurity and an unmatched team of experts from industry, government, and academia, IronNet was born to more effectively defend enterprises, sectors, and nations against highly organized cyber adversaries and increasingly sophisticated attacks.
The Opportunity
IronNet’s Analytics team is responsible for building behavioral analytics and event correlation code for our NDR and collective defense products. The team focuses on developing cost effective cloud solutions that are distributed and highly scalable, processing large volumes of events. We are looking for a Senior Data Engineer with focus on Spark / Scala analytics and development of SaaS solutions to join the team. 

To be successful in this role, you must be able to:

• Use modern programming languages (Python, Scala, Java, Golang, etc.) to develop continuously integrated and deployed production software.
• Be able to understand, improve, and potentially re-factor ETL and data analytics software written in Spark (Scala).
• Interface data transformation, enrichment, and machine learning algorithms to cloud storage and messaging infrastructure.
• Use AWS to provide microservices architectures that are highly reliable, redundant and scalable.
• Implement horizontally scalable analytics and data processing pipelines.
• Turn proof of concept architectures into production environments.
• Share knowledge and assist others in understanding technical topics.

You may be the person we need if your background aligns with the following:

• Have proven experience as a Data Engineer, Machine Learning Engineer, Software Engineer, Cloud Engineer or similar role.
• Demonstrable expertise in a modern programming language (Python, Scala, Java, Golang, etc.) 
• Experience with working with data scientists to develop machine learning algorithms that run on an ongoing basis, such as within an ETL process, rather than once, or on-demand.
• Experience with Kafka, HDFS, AWS EMR and Glue, and other scalable data frameworks
• Experience with cybersecurity event processing including high-volume ETL and analytics 
• Possess strong analytical, technical, and problem-solving skills.

We value:

• Passion for championing projects from concept to delivery to customer.
• Desire to be the best and prove it every day.
• Eagerness to learn and improve your own skills and to make those around you better.
• Highly attentive to detail and a focus on improving the code base and quality of our tests.
• Commitment and aptitude to proactively find solutions to ambiguous opportunities.
• Bring a unique skill set or elevate the results of the teams you are a part of.
