As a Technical Leader, you will be at the forefront of advancing Tetragons capabilities. You will guide architectural direction while staying deeply engaged in building the systems that power our platform. Your impact will span designing high-performance data pipelines, optimizing database and distributed system performance, and ensuring massive streams of system events can be ingested, aggregated, and distilled into meaningful intelligence.

You will collaborate closely with teams across Cisco, including Hypershield and Splunk, to create the integration points that transform raw data into actionable insights for enterprise security. In this role, youll solve some of the most complex system-level challenges in observability and infrastructure, helping Tetragon evolve to meet the needs of modern cloud-native environments.

What youll do:

Develop high-quality Go (and eBPF) code for the Tetragon project.

Design and implement new Tetragon features to enhance its capabilities for Runtime security detection and enforcement

Design and optimize systems for large-scale Tetragon deployment and operation in K8s or VM platforms

Architect infrastructure that converts raw event data into intelligence streams with minimal performance overhead.

Contribute to open-source projects and represent Cisco Isovalent in community discussions.

Participate in architecture reviews, code reviews, and documentation.
