Job summary

CommandLink, LLC is seeking a Staff Software Engineer for Command|Alert, its signal-processing core that turns raw security telemetry into trusted alerts. You will own the architecture and drive correlation, ML-driven reasoning, and end‑to‑end reliability across multiple teams.

This remote role in the United States offers the opportunity to influence a critical security platform, mentor engineers, and shape the long‑term foundation of the product.

Qualifications

• Demonstrated experience designing, building, or operating high‑reliability alerting or notification systems in production, including running rule‑based and ML‑based detection logic against real traffic at scale.
• Strong Kafka experience, particularly producing and consuming event streams for downstream delivery.

Responsibilities

• Set the architecture for how Command|Alert evaluates rule‑based thresholds, ML anomaly scores, and correlation logic to produce high‑fidelity alerts, across both global alerts we define and alerts customers define themselves.
• Own the reliability of the alerting pipeline end to end: from OpenSearch alert evaluation through Kafka delivery via OpenSearch callbacks to downstream notification, including idempotency guarantees and soak‑tested behavior under sustained load.
• Drive the correlation strategy that turns diverse sources (security tooling, monitoring telemetry, syslog, OpenTelemetry, L2‑L4 network protocols) into usable network and system topologies and their dependencies, and make that context usable for LLM reasoning over investigations and remediation.
• Lay the technical groundwork for generating alert definitions from the normalized data model using LLMs.
• Jump into any team or workstream across Command|Alert that needs architectural guidance, unblocking others and raising the bar on how the system is built.
• Balance strategic bets (new correlation and detection capability) against the long‑term foundation the alerting engine needs to hold up at scale.
• Mentor engineers across the teams you touch, and represent Command|Alert's technical direction to stakeholders outside engineering.
• Takes on additional responsibilities and projects as needed to support the success of the team and organization.
