Senior Software Engineers

Security teams can identify vulnerabilities in running applications without a clear or fast path back to the code that caused them. Developers often lack real-time insight into how their code behaves under attack. Closing that gap is one of the most important unsolved challenges in security. MDASH is our first step. There's much more ahead. And to be clear, while we're helping shape the future of AI and security, this job description isn't AI-generated. It was written intentionally, because this work is about people. There are very few places where an individual engineer's code can directly impact customers. Defender is one of them. If you enjoy building, care about solving meaningful problems, and want to work with people who are equally passionate, let's talk. Design and build scalable backend services and data platforms that support high-impact security scenarios Translate ambiguous problem spaces into clear, practical, and inclusive technical designs Own key components end-to-end, including design, implementation, and ongoing operational excellence Make thoughtful architectural decisions that balance correctness, scalability, latency, and maintainability Strengthen system reliability through monitoring, alerting, automation, and continuous improvement practices Contribute to an inclusive engineering culture by participating in design reviews and knowledge sharing Uphold high standards through code reviews, testing practices, and continuous quality improvements Mentor and support engineers at all levels, fostering growth and a culture of learning Proactively identify opportunities to simplify systems, improve performance, and deliver better outcomes for customers Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science or related technical field AND 4+ years technical engineering experience with coding in languages including, but not limited to, C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, or Python OR equivalent experience These requirements include but are not limited to the following specialized security screenings: Master's Degree in Computer Science or related technical field AND 6+ years technical engineering experience with coding in languages including, but not limited to, C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, or Python OR Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science or related technical field AND 8+ years technical engineering experience with coding in languages including, but not limited to, C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, or Python OR equivalent experience. 3+ years of experience in building and delivering backend services or data platforms 3+ years of experience in designing and owning scalable, reliable distributed systems 3+ years of experience in applying system design, data modeling, and service architecture principles 3+ years of experience in working with Azure or other large-scale cloud environments 3+ years of experience in navigating ambiguity, driving execution, and contributing to areas such as security, platform engineering, or AI-driven systems
