Besides many enterprises and government agencies, nearly 30% of the world’s top MSSPs rely on our platform, and that number is growing every day as more companies recognize the value of next-generation security solutions. We're at the forefront of protecting organizations against sophisticated cyber threats using cutting-edge AI and automation technologies.\nWe offer a highly competitive compensation package on par with industry leaders like Google and Microsoft, ensuring our team is rewarded for their expertise and dedication. We are fully remote, providing the flexibility to work from anywhere in Taiwan. We are rooted in transparency and openness, without rigid hierarchies. We are feedback-driven, encouraging open communication and innovation at every level. Our culture is built on diversity, openness, and collaboration, fostering creativity and innovation that drives real impact in the market.\nStellar Cyber is looking for a Senior or Staff Software Engineer to own parser development on our Automation-Driven Open & Unified SecOps Platform (powering our AI-driven SIEM, NDR, Open XDR, and Multi-Layer AI). Parsers are the front door of our platform-every security event from firewalls, endpoints, cloud logs, and SaaS tools flows through the components you build before it can be detected, correlated, or acted on. The quality, coverage, and performance of your work directly shapes what the rest of the platform can see.\nStellar Cyber needs someone who treats parsing as an engineering domain to own, not a ticket queue to grind through-someone who can independently drive the parser framework forward, pick up new log formats and vendor quirks quickly, make sound design decisions on schema and normalization, and raise the bar for the engineers around them. We move fast, give engineers real autonomy, and embrace AI not just in our products but in how we build them-parser development is one of the areas where AI-assisted workflows deliver the biggest leverage.\nYou will design, develop, and maintain parsing and normalization components that turn raw security data from hundreds of sources into the unified schema our detection and analytics engines rely on-handling large volumes, diverse log formats, and constantly evolving vendor outputs.\n\nPlease note, as part of our interview process, we may invite candidates for an in-person interview to meet with our team.\nWHAT YOU WILL OWN\nStellar Cyber needs someone who focuses on the work AI cannot do-and uses AI to amplify everything else.\nThe work only you can do:\nOwn the parser framework: identify patterns worth abstracting, design the primitives parser authors build on, improve performance on hot paths, and raise the reliability and testability bar across the team's output.\nMake the design calls that require judgment-schema mapping, normalization trade-offs, how to handle ambiguous or malformed data, when to generalize versus when to special-case, when to evolve the framework versus work around it.\nDrive high-impact parser integrations end-to-end where framework-level thinking is needed, setting the pattern that others follow.\nPartner with detection, data, and integration teams to make sure parsed data serves downstream use cases, not just passes validation.\nMentor junior engineers through design discussions and code reviews, helping them grow into independent owners.\nWhat you'll use AI to amplify:\nAccelerate your own parser development using LLM-based coding assistants, AI-driven test generation, and automated code review.\nUse LLMs to analyze unfamiliar log samples, propose initial parsing rules, and bootstrap new integrations faster-while applying human judgment to catch what AI gets wrong.\nAutomate repetitive parser work-regression testing, schema diffing, sample ingestion-so the team spends more time on hard problems.\nHelp the team integrate AI tools into their daily parser workflows and measure the efficiency gains.\nRequirements\nBachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.\n5+ years of software engineering experience with a focus on data parsing, integration, or log processing.\nStrong proficiency in Python, Java, Ruby, or C++.\nDeep familiarity with common log formats and data structures (JSON, XML, CSV, syslog, key-value, unstructured text).\nStrong command of regular expressions and other pattern-matching techniques.\nSolid understanding of data normalization, schema design, and transformation principles.\nExperience integrating with APIs, web services, and streaming data sources.\nDemonstrated ability to use AI tools (Copilot, Cursor, Claude, ChatGPT) to meaningfully accelerate engineering workflows-regular use in production work, not just experimentation. You have the judgment to know when AI output is trustworthy and when it needs human expertise.\nWorking understanding of cybersecurity concepts and the kinds of data security tools emit.\nStrong problem-solving skills and clear communication with both engineers and non-technical stakeholders.\nPREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS\nExperience with cybersecurity tools and platforms (firewalls, IDS/IPS, EDR, SIEM, cloud security services).\nFamiliarity with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and their logging services (CloudWatch, Azure Monitor, Cloud Logging).\nExperience with big data and streaming technologies (Kafka, Spark, Hadoop, or similar).\nExperience with containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes).\nHands-on experience using LLMs for log analysis, parser generation, or schema inference-or building internal tooling that applies AI to data engineering workflows.\nFamiliarity with AI-native integration patterns such as MCP (Model Context Protocol), function calling, or agent frameworks.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5816,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Taiwan","iso":"TW","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Network Security","Information Security","Security Operations"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-04-24T00:00:00Z"},{"event":"close","at":"2026-09-21T21:31:05Z"},{"event":"reopen","at":"2026-09-27T16:39:43Z"},{"event":"close","at":"2026-10-01T05:28:28Z"},{"event":"reopen","at":"2026-10-04T18:53:55Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":65,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.649,"p_room":1,"age_days":13,"expected_fill_days":83,"reasons":["conf:3","repost:2","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-17T05:46:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/stellar-cyber-senior-staff-software-engineer-parser-team","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/stellar-cyber-senior-staff-software-engineer-parser-team.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-18T06:49:58Z","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":10166,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-19T00:00:00Z"}},"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":2596},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=2596"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fstellar-cyber-senior-staff-software-engineer-parser-team"},{"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%2Fstellar-cyber-senior-staff-software-engineer-parser-team"},{"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%2Fstellar-cyber-senior-staff-software-engineer-parser-team"},{"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/stellar-cyber-senior-staff-software-engineer-parser-team\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fstellar-cyber-senior-staff-software-engineer-parser-team"}]}
