Senior Software Engineer Parsing & Connectors

Senior Software Engineer Parsing & Connectors

About the role You'll own how our Percept platform connects to the outside world. Two parts:

• Parsers (JavaScript) — read raw log data from many systems and convert it into a clean, standard format.
• Connectors (Java) — integrate with external tools. Some bring data in (logs for XDR, exposure and vulnerability data for CTEM). Others send commands out to take action (for SOAR — like blocking an IP, disabling a user, or isolating a device).

You'll build both, fix problems, keep quality high, and guide junior engineers.

What you'll do

• Write and maintain JavaScript parsers for many log formats (syslog, CEF, JSON, and more)
• Build and maintain Java connectors that:
• pull in logs, asset, and vulnerability data (XDR, CTEM)
• send response actions to external security tools (SOAR)
• Work with external APIs — fetch data, run actions, handle logins and errors
• Find and fix issues — wrong field mapping, timezone errors, encoding problems, slow performance across 200+ parsers
• Set the standards for how parsers and connectors are built
• Make sure data and actions are correct and reliable
• Review the work of junior engineers

What we need

• 5+ years of software engineering experience
• Good in both Java and JavaScript (or very strong in one and quick to learn the other)
• Excellent with regex and working with text and data
• Strong with APIs — fetching data, running actions, handling authentication
• Good understanding of log formats, timezones, and character encoding
• Careful and thorough — you test with real data, not assumptions

Nice to have

• Experience in security or SIEM/SOAR tools (Splunk, Elastic, Graylog, etc.)
• Experience with high-volume data pipelines
• Knowledge of Python (helpful for related work)

The kind of person we want Detail-focused, careful, practical. Catches small bugs before they become big problems. Tests properly and helps others grow.
