- Apply ML/AI techniques to improve platform availability and performance while managing operational costs.
- Solve complex, high-risk data platform problems and contribute to new platform standards and design principles.
- Enforce secure coding practices and security fundamentals, and identify key instrumentation/metrics needs, across teams.
- Advise application teams on best practices and lead knowledge-sharing sessions on guidelines, POC findings, and industry trends.
- Contribute enhancements back to open-source projects used in the Qualys ecosystem.
- Mentor engineers and contribute to the team's technical growth.
Required Qualifications:
