Why This Job is Featured on The SaaS Jobs
### Why this Role is Featured on The SaaS Jobs
Security SaaS is increasingly defined by platforms that blend software with managed outcomes, and a SIEM product sits at the center of that shift. This Senior Software Engineer role stands out because it contributes to a core platform capability where reliability, data handling, and product usability directly shape how customers detect and investigate threats. The remit is clearly product-facing, tied to expanding monitoring capabilities rather than internal tooling.
For a long-term SaaS engineering path, SIEM work is a strong proxy for building at scale: high-volume event ingestion, storage and querying, and the operational expectations that come with security products. Experience here tends to translate well across SaaS companies that run data-intensive features, need mature observability, or operate under strict uptime and incident-response pressures. The role also signals influence beyond individual tickets through design, architecture, and peer review.
