Job Type: Full-time

We are looking for an experienced and hands-on Tech Lead to lead the architecture, design, development, and delivery of a next-generation Cybersecurity SaaS Platform spanning SIEM, EDR, XDR, security analytics, threat detection, and automated response.

The role requires a strong software engineering background combined with expertise in cloud-native architecture, distributed systems, cybersecurity platforms, high-volume data processing, and DevSecOps. You will work closely with Product, Architecture, Security, QA, DevOps, and Engineering teams to build scalable, secure, highly available platforms capable of processing large volumes of security telemetry and supporting real-time detection, investigation, and response.

Requirements

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Lead the architecture, design, and development of scalable cybersecurity SaaS platforms.
• Translate product and security requirements into scalable, maintainable technical solutions.
• Design cloud-native and multi-tenant SaaS architectures using AWS and/or Azure.
• Develop distributed, microservices-based, streaming, and event-driven systems for high-volume security data.
• Contribute to SIEM, EDR/XDR, security analytics, threat detection, alert correlation, and automated response capabilities.
• Design and optimise large-scale security telemetry ingestion, processing, storage, search, and analytics pipelines.
• Work with technologies such as Kafka, distributed data processing platforms, data lakes/lakehouses, SQL/NoSQL databases, and search platforms.
• Drive engineering standards for performance, scalability, reliability, security, observability, testing, and maintainability.
• Lead architecture reviews, technical design discussions, code reviews, and technical problem-solving.
• Own the software development lifecycle across requirements, design, development, testing, CI/CD, deployment, production validation, and monitoring.
• Establish automated unit, integration, security, and performance testing practices.
• Drive release planning, versioning, branching strategies, deployment automation, rollback planning, hotfixes, and production releases.
• Build and improve CI/CD pipelines using platforms such as GitHub, GitLab, Jenkins, or Azure DevOps.
• Implement DevSecOps practices, including secure coding, vulnerability management, SAST, DAST, SCA, container security, and infrastructure security scanning.
• Work with Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, CloudFormation, and other cloud-native and Infrastructure-as-Code technologies.
• Identify technical risks, bottlenecks, dependencies, and production issues and drive them through to resolution.
• Mentor and guide software engineers, review technical implementations, and establish effective engineering practices.
• Collaborate closely with Product, Security, Architecture, QA, DevOps, and other cross-functional teams.
• Contribute to technical hiring, interviews, team development, and engineering capability building.
