Job description

Summary

At Varonis, we see the world of cybersecurity differently. Instead of chasing threats, we believe the most practical approach is protecting data from the inside out.

We are looking for a highly motivated Escalation Engineer (Tier-IV) to join our growing team. This is a unique engineering role that sits at the intersection of Development, Product, and Customer Success, offering direct exposure to a wide range of systems and technologies across our platform.

• Customer interaction - Work with strategic customers and see the tangible impact of solving their critical problems

Responsibilities:

• Investigate and resolve complex technical issues across our entire product suite
• Write Python code
• Analyze application logs, database performance, and system behavior to identify root causes
• Implement fixes and patches that are deployed directly to customer environments
• Serve as a technical expert for resolved customer issues - you are the final line of defense
• Collaborate with development teams to identify product improvements based on real-world issues
• Create documentation and diagnostic tools that enable support teams to independently resolve similar issues
• Clearly communicate technical findings to both technical and non-technical stakeholders

Requirements:

• B.Sc. in Computer Science or equivalent from a recognized university
• 3+ years of professional experience developing Python -Must
• Strong SQL skills - write complex queries, optimize database performance, and investigate data issues
• Proven track record of debugging complex, multi-layered technical problems
