This role demands deep expertise in large-scale data pipeline engineering, custom detection algorithm development, and security analytics at scale. The right candidate combines the rigor of a data engineer with the instincts of a security analyst, and can turn raw cryptographic telemetry into actionable operational intelligence.</p> <p>• &nbsp; &nbsp;Design, build, and optimize high-throughput data ingestion pipelines using Apache Kafka for real-time telemetry streaming.<br>• &nbsp; &nbsp;Develop large-scale transformation and enrichment workflows on Databricks / Apache Spark; ensure pipeline reliability, observability, and performance at enterprise scale.<br>• &nbsp; &nbsp;Maintain data quality, schema governance, and lineage documentation across all pipeline stages<br>• &nbsp; &nbsp;Write and deploy custom detection algorithms targeting non-compliant cryptographic protocols — including outdated TLS versions, weak SSH key configurations, and deprecated cipher suites.<br>• &nbsp; &nbsp;Develop detection logic for quantum-vulnerable algorithms (e.g., RSA, ECC) across enterprise network traffic and cryptographic inventories.<br>• &nbsp; &nbsp;Continuously tune detection models based on operational feedback, false positive rates, and evolving threat intelligence.<br>• &nbsp; &nbsp;Partner directly with DoW threat hunters to translate raw cryptographic discovery data into structured, analyst-ready datasets.<br>• &nbsp; &nbsp;Build and maintain interactive dashboards (Tableau, Grafana) for executive reporting on cryptographic posture and quantum-vulnerability exposure.<br>• &nbsp; &nbsp;Develop and document analytic methodologies; p
