Cloud Platform Engineer

Our Global Cybersecurity Services - - Observability team is building next‑generation security telemetry and observability capabilities at massive scale - and we’re looking for a Cloud Platform Engineer who enjoys solving complex technical problems, building distributed systems, and enabling global threat detection teams.

In this role, you’ll help design and evolve our cloud‑native cybersecurity observability platform, with a focus on SIEM (e.g., Microsoft Sentinel) and enterprise-wide data onboarding. You’ll work on event pipelines that process terabytes of security‑critical transaction data every day, ensuring reliability, performance, and visibility across a global footprint.

This is not an operations role and not a SIEM analyst position.

You will build, automate, and innovate - creating secure, scalable telemetry infrastructure that directly powers threat detection and incident response.

Team: Global Cybersecurity Services

Office Location: Toronto - Canada

Work Arrangement: Hybrid (3 days in office, 2 days from Home)

Role Type: Full‑Time Permanent (Associate-Intermediate Level)

Position Responsibilities:

Build & Evolve High‑Scale Cybersecurity Observability Platforms

• Contribute to the design and enhancement of our global SIEM ingestion and observability platform, supporting multi‑terabyte/day data flows across cloud, identity, network, and application domains.

• Help engineer scalable pipelines for high‑volume logs, structured/unstructured event data, and real‑time telemetry.

• Develop reliable and performant architectures for global ingestion across regions, tenants, and business units.

Engineer, Automate, and Solve Deep Technical Problems

• Build internal frameworks, APIs, automation tooling, and CI/CD pipelines that simplify log onboarding and data processing at scale.

• Tackle technical challenges around throughput, schema consistency, enrichment, latency, retention optimization, and resource efficiency.

• Implement self‑service capabilities that allow engineering teams to onboard high‑volume data sources with minimal friction.

Elevate Threat Detection Through Better Telemetry

• Partner with detection engineers, threat hunters, and incident responders to ensure high‑quality, high-context, high-volume data is available for analytics.

• Contribute to event standards, logging schemas, and practices that strengthen security visibility.

• Help tune data pipelines and storage layers to maximize signal quality and reduce noise.

Drive Best Practices Across Global Engineering & Security Teams

• Advocate for modern observability, cloud‑native logging, and zero‑trust telemetry patterns.

• Encourage resilient, scalable, and cost‑efficient telemetry practices across engineering teams.

• Provide technical guidance on cloud data flows, event processing, and distributed logging architectures.

Required Qualifications:

• You are an engineer who builds platforms, solves problems, and thrives in complex, evolving technical environments.

• You’re not looking for runbooks - you want to create systems that others rely on.

• You’re a great fit if you:

• Enjoy designing or contributing to distributed systems and high‑volume pipelines

• Are energized by ambiguity and engineering challenges

• Love building automation and developer‑facing tooling

• Understand the importance of security visibility and high‑quality telemetry

• Want to bring engineering excellence to global cybersecurity

• Experience with at least one major cloud platform (Azure strongly preferred).

• Ability to design, operate, or support high‑volume data processing systems (terabyte‑scale experience is a plus, not a requirement).

• Hands‑on experience with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Bicep, Pulumi).

• Proficiency in automation/scripting (Python, PowerShell, Bash, Go).

• Understanding of distributed systems, cloud networking, and data architecture.

• Experience integrating or onboarding large or complex data sources (structured or unstructured).

Preferred Qualifications:

• Familiarity with SIEM platforms (Microsoft Sentinel preferred).

• Experience with OpenTelemetry, OCSF, or other telemetry standardization approaches.

• KQL, SQL, or similar query experience.

• Exposure to detection engineering or SOC workflows.

• Experience with event streaming systems (Event Hubs, Kafka).

• Background in performance tuning, cost optimization, or SRE practices.

When you join our team:

• We’ll empower you to learn and grow the career you want.

• We’ll recognize and support you in a flexible environment where well-being and inclusion are more than just words.

• As part of our global team, we’ll support you in shaping the future you want to see.
