Job summary

Stellar Cyber is seeking a Senior or Staff Software Engineer to own parser development for our Automation-Driven Open & Unified SecOps Platform, powering AI-driven SIEM, NDR, Open XDR, and multi-layer analytics. Parsers are the gate to the platform, turning raw security data from hundreds of sources into usable signals.

You will design, implement, and maintain parsing and normalization components, push for performance and reliability, mentor engineers, and collaborate with detection and

Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
• 5+ years of software engineering experience with a focus on data parsing, integration, or log processing.
• Strong proficiency in Python, Java, Ruby, or C++.
• Deep familiarity with common log formats and data structures (JSON, XML, CSV, syslog, key-value, unstructured text).
• Strong command of regular expressions and other pattern-matching techniques.
• Solid understanding of data normalization, schema design, and transformation principles.
• Experience integrating with APIs, web services, and streaming data sources.
• Demonstrated ability to use AI tools (Copilot, Cursor, Claude, ChatGPT) to meaningfully accelerate engineering workflows—regular use in production work, not just experimentation.
• Working understanding of cybersecurity concepts and the kinds of data security tools emit.
• Strong problem-solving skills and clear communication with both engineers and non-technical stakeholders.

Responsibilities

• Own the parser framework: identify patterns worth abstracting, design the primitives parser authors build on, improve performance on hot paths, and raise reliability and testability.
• Make design calls on schema mapping, normalization trade-offs, handling ambiguous or malformed data, generalize vs. special-case decisions.
• Drive high-impact parser integrations end-to-end with framework-level thinking.
• Partner with detection, data, and integration teams to ensure parsed data serves downstream use cases.
• Mentor junior engineers through design discussions and code reviews to grow independent owners.
• Collaborate with teams to accelerate parsing workflows using AI-assisted tools and test automation.
