Sr. Cloud Software Engineer (Vision One XDR Search Data Lake)

Overview

The XDR (Extended Detection and Response) capabilities of Trend Micro’s Vision One platform provide context-aware investigation, recording, and reporting of system-level activities. It collects detailed activity data from kernel mode, user mode, and native system events across multiple security layers, including endpoints, servers, cloud workloads, email, and networks.

The Search Data Lake serves as a key component, processing hundreds of billions of activity data records collected daily from Trend Micro endpoint products and aggregating detection logs from various Trend Micro product lines. Our mission is to build and maintain the highly scalable, resilient, and performant data platform that enables internal applications to efficiently discover potentially infected endpoints.
