Cyber Security Platform Engineer – Cyber Defense
Ford Motor Company
• Architect and engineer scalable, cloud-native SIEM solutions, utilizing Infrastructure-as-Code principles to manage log ingestion pipelines and storage. • Develop and maintain robust data pipelines to ingest, transform, and normalize security logs from diverse endpoints (APIs, cloud platforms, firewalls) into the SIEM, ensuring high data fidelity and low latency. • Write and optimize custom parsers using Regex and scripting languages to map raw log data to standardized security models, ensuring consistent data structures for analysis. • Program custom integrations connecting third-party tools and streaming data sources to the SIEM via REST APIs and webhooks. • Collaborate with DevOps and Application teams to define logging standards and embed security telemetry requirements early in the software development lifecycle (SDLC). • Manage the full lifecycle of the SIEM platform, including health monitoring, troubleshooting ingestion failures, and debugging parsing errors to ensure 24/7 availability. • Proactively analyze ingestion volume against capacity limits to identify optimization opportunities, implementing granular log tuning and exclusion rules that minimize licensing costs and maximize the signal-to-noise ratio • Engineer automated provisioning workflows using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to programmatically manage both the underlying infrastructure and complex IAM policies supporting the security platforms.

Role Description Platform Engineers at KUNGFU.AI work alongside Machine Learning Engineers and Data Scientists on client project teams to design architecture, build infrastructure, and establish frameworks that enable rapid, production-grade iteration. This is an embedded, collaborative role grounded in seamless teamwork — not a siloed advisory function. As a Platform Engineer, you shape how KUNGFU.AI approaches infrastructure as a discipline. You design cross-project platform standards, reference architectures, and reusable patterns that accelerate every engagement. You lead select client projects — building trusted relationships with clients and owning infrastructure strategy with minimal Director of Engineering support. You also begin working cross-functionally with business development, strategy, and marketing teams, contributing to SOW development and advising on feasibility as roadmaps take shape. Your influence extends beyond your own projects to the broader engineering organization. Here's what you'll be doing: - Design and maintain reference architectures, templates, starter kits, and golden paths that standardize infrastructure patterns across client engagements - Lead select client projects, including building trusted client relationships and owning infrastructure delivery with light DoE support - Drive code quality and infrastructure standards across project teams — through code review, pairing, and establishing conventions - Evaluate and rapidly adopt emerging cloud services, infrastructure tooling, and deployment patterns, recommending adoption where they benefit the team - Contribute to SOW development by scoping infrastructure effort, identifying risks, and defining technical approach for proposals - Work with strategy teams to advise on feasibility and help scope engineering efforts on roadmaps as they are being developed - Coordinate cross-functionally with BD, marketing, and strategy teams on infrastructure-related topics - Navigate ambiguity in client environments — where requirements are unclear, constraints are evolving, and the "right" architecture isn't obvious - Drive long-term strategic thinking about infrastructure patterns, tooling choices, and platform maturity for the engineering organization - Mentor junior and senior engineers on both technical and non-technical dimensions Qualifications - Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience) - Expert-level proficiency in AWS; working proficiency in Azure - Expert-level experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform and/or AWS CDK) across complex, multi-environment deployments - Deep experience designing and operating containerized systems at scale (Docker, ECS/Fargate, EKS/Kubernetes) - Experience designing CI/CD strategies for multi-project or multi-team environments - Strong understanding of security, networking, and compliance across cloud environments - Experience with ML workflow infrastructure — model serving, inference servers (e.g., Triton, vLLM, TGI, TorchServe), training pipelines, data pipeline tooling — in collaboration with ML practitioners - Experience deploying and managing LLM-based applications in production (RAG pipelines, API orchestration, vector stores, prompt management) - Experience provisioning and managing GPU-accelerated compute environments, including instance selection, driver/runtime configuration, scaling strategies, and cost optimization - Demonstrated ability to define reusable infrastructure patterns and standards adopted across teams or projects - Experience leading technical delivery on client projects or engagements - Experience contributing to proposals, SOWs, or scoping exercises - Strong client relationship and communication skills - Experience mentoring engineers at multiple levels Benefits - This is a full-time position that is remote. - Compensation includes competitive salary, company stock grant, top (‘gold’) level of health, dental and vision insurance (KUNGFU.AI covers 100% of your premiums and 50% for any dependents) - Health and dependent flexible spending accounts - Short- and long-term disability insurance - Unlimited vacation (that you're encouraged to take) - Paid parental leave - And more.
