About the Opportunity

We are hiring a Senior Personalization Solution Architect with deep domain expertise in personalization and experimentation to join Contentful’s Professional Services team. This role is designed for a practitioner who has built, operated, and scaled personalization programs in production, and who also brings the hands-on technical skills required to implement those programs in modern, composable architectures.

This is not a generalist Solution Architect role with light exposure to personalization. Success in this role requires strong opinions and real-world experience across audience strategy, decisioning, experimentation, and measurement—paired with the ability to design and deliver high-quality technical implementations using Contentful Personalization.

You will work directly with customer engineering, product, and marketing teams to design and implement advanced personalization and experimentation solutions, while also serving as a customer-facing extension of Contentful’s Product and Engineering teams. Your work will help reduce implementation risk, accelerate time to value, and create tighter feedback loops into product development—specifically for complex personalization use cases.

What to expect? 

Personalization & Experimentation Domain Leadership 

• Own the end-to-end design of personalization and experimentation programs, including:
• audience and segmentation strategies grounded in behavioral, contextual, and first-party data
• experience decisioning models that balance relevance, performance, and governance
• experimentation frameworks (A/B, multivariate, holdouts) with clear hypotheses and success criteria
  
  
• Design personalization strategies that scale responsibly, including:
• guardrails to prevent over-personalization, bias, and degraded user experience
• approaches for global, multi-brand, or multi-region deployments
• tradeoffs between targeting precision, latency, and operational complexity

Team Overview

The Security Applications & Tools (SAT) team within Lattice Platform Security builds custom software systems that detect, manage, and remediate vulnerabilities across Anduril's product ecosystem at scale. We don't just deploy scanners — we design and build distributed scanning infrastructure, policy enforcement engines, and vulnerability management platforms from the ground up. Our stack includes event-driven architectures on AWS, custom Go services, policy-as-code systems, and integrations that span CI pipelines to production environments.

Job Description

We're looking for a senior software engineer to design and build the systems that keep Anduril's software secure. This is a software engineering role first — you'll architect distributed systems, write production Go and Python, build APIs, and operate services at scale. The domain is security, but the work is building real software: custom scanning orchestration pipelines, policy engines that evaluate thousands of configurations against security rules, and data systems that track vulnerabilities across an entire product ecosystem. If you want to write code that solves hard engineering problems in the security space rather than configure off-the-shelf tools, this is the role.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and build distributed services for vulnerability scanning, policy enforcement, and remediation workflows
• Develop and extend the team's scanning orchestration platform — an event-driven architecture built on AWS (SQS, Lambda, S3, ECR) that processes scan events at org-wide scale
• Build and maintain policy-as-code systems that programmatically enforce security policy in CI/CD pipelines and deployment configurations
• Design APIs and CLIs that integrate security tooling into developer workflows without creating friction
• Develop data pipelines that aggregate, normalize, and route findings from multiple scanning engines into vulnerability management systems
• Collaborate with engineering teams across Anduril to understand their security needs and build tooling that addresses them
• Evaluate third-party security tools and build custom integrations or replacements where needed
• Participate in on-call rotation for security tooling infrastructure

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience designing and developing production software systems
• Strong proficiency in Go — this is the team's primary language for backend services
• Experience building distributed systems or data pipelines (event-driven architectures, message queues, APIs, worker systems)
• Proficiency with Python for scripting, automation, and tooling
• Experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred: Lambda, SQS, S3, ECR, or equivalent)
• Ability to read and understand security tool output (vulnerability reports, SBOMs, static analysis results) and build systems around it
• Strong communication skills with the ability to work across teams
• Eligible to obtain and maintain active U.S. Secret security clearance

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with CI/CD systems (CircleCI, GitHub Actions) and building integrations for developer workflows
• Familiarity with container security concepts, SBOM generation tools (Syft), and vulnerability scanners (Trivy, Grype, Semgrep)
• Experience with Terraform and infrastructure-as-code
• Experience with policy-as-code frameworks (OPA/Rego, Conftest)
• Background in application security or product security engineering
• Experience with Kubernetes and container orchestration
• Familiarity with Nix build systems
