In this role, you’ll be leading the design and build of scalable systems and integrations across major cybersecurity platforms. Sometimes you’ll be deep in the code, other times you’ll be guiding teams and customers to the right solutions. If you enjoy balancing hands-on work with big-picture thinking, this could be your spot. \nAbout Us\nAt Metron Security, we help top cybersecurity companies supercharge their tools through automation and integrations. Our engineers connect and extend platforms like Splunk, IBM QRadar, ServiceNow, CrowdStrike, Cybereason, and many more. We believe in a developer-first culture where creativity, ownership, and continuous learning drive everything we do. \nWhy You’ll Love Working Here\nA true developer-first environment where your ideas and technical chops matter.\nHands-on exposure to 250+ security platforms (yep, really).\nDirect contact with customers so you can see the impact of your work right away.\nA fast-paced, growth-focused culture—but we also respect work-life balance. No weekends, and only occasional evening calls. \nWhat We’re Looking For \nWe’re hoping to meet someone who has both deep technical expertise and natural leadership instincts. You think holistically about systems, enjoy digging into tricky problems, and can guide both teammates and customers to success.\nMust-Have Skills\nSolid programming experience across multiple languages (Python, TypeScript, Java, Node.js, Angular, React, C#, C++… we’re language-agnostic and use the best tool for the job).\nQuick at learning new security platforms.\nProven ability to design and build scalable systems, APIs, and integrations.\nExperience mentoring and leading engineering teams.\nStrong debugging and problem-solving skills in complex environments.\nOrganized, reliable, and able to set and meet clear timelines.\nComfortable working directly with customers to understand needs and design solutions.\nFamiliar with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and security best practices. \nBonus Points If You\nHave experience building or leading integrations with enterprise security tools.\nLike approaching challenges with a “hacker mindset.” \nKnow your way around Docker, Kubernetes, and cloud deployments. \nContribute to open source or share technical insights publicly. \nWhat You’ll Do\nBe the face of Metron Security with our customers—collaborating on solutions and keeping communication clear.\nBridge the gap between customers and our dev team, ensuring the right info flows both ways. \nMentor and train junior developers, helping them level up. \nStep in to tackle tough technical problems when the team needs backup.\nBuild and document knowledge about security platforms.\nSpot potential roadblocks early and help keep projects on track.\nWho You Are\nStrategic thinker who isn’t afraid to roll up their sleeves.\nClear communicator who collaborates openly.\nProud of building strong, maintainable solutions that exceed expectations.\nCurious, quick learner, and always exploring new technologies.\nPositive, “let’s figure it out” teammate who lifts others up. \nAt Metron Security, we’re all about helping security teams work smarter. If you’re excited to take on big engineering challenges, mentor others, and drive technical vision in a growing company, we’d love to talk.\n\nSkills\nPython, Go Programming (Golang), Object Oriented Programming (OOPs), Cyber Security, Microservices, Java, CI/CD","description_format":"text","description_chars":3525,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":6,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Continuous learning"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Cybersecurity","Information Security","Security Operations"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-25T13:06:44Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":46,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":0.85,"p_active":0.717,"p_room":0.75,"age_days":24,"expected_fill_days":27,"reasons":["seen:24","velocity","win:late"],"computed_at":"2026-10-16T05:45:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":31446,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/metron-security-principal-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/metron-security-principal-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-16T21:15:54Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":2090,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-17T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":4029},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4029"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fmetron-security-principal-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fmetron-security-principal-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fmetron-security-principal-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/metron-security-principal-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fmetron-security-principal-engineer"}]}
