About Scanner

The security data lake platform built for AI agents and modern security teams. Search and detect across petabytes in seconds. Retain everything forever. Power the next generation of detection & response. Backed by Sequoia and CRV.

About the role

We're looking for a DevOps Engineer to own how Scanner gets deployed, upgraded, and operated everywhere it runs. We currently ship two ways: a managed SaaS where we run every piece of the infrastructure in our own AWS accounts, and a Bring Your Own Cloud deployment where we provision the data plane directly into the customer's AWS account. You'll own that system end to end.

What they're looking for

  • A minimum of 5 years of professional experience in infrastructure, DevOps, SRE, or platform engineering
  • Deep AWS fluency (IAM, VPC and networking, ECS, Lambda, S3) and production experience with infrastructure-as-code like Pulumi, Terraform, or CDK across multiple accounts and regions
  • Experience owning CI/CD end to end
  • A strong operations instinct for observability, incident response, and cost efficiency at scale
  • Comfort writing TypeScript (our Pulumi code) and reading Rust well enough to debug a service you didn't write. You don't need to have shipped Rust before
  • Comfort working in a fast-paced and low process environment
More about this role

At Scanner, we’re committed to building the best tools in the world (in Rust!) for teams to search and query through enormous piles of data. Whether you're debugging a distributed system, or monitoring a sprawling backend deployment for security risks, so many problems that modern engineering teams face are ultimately about sifting through giant haystacks in search of small but valuable needles. Scanner provides a magical user experience with ⚡ fast queries, allowing teams to manage massive data sets with far more ease than they can with existing tools.

We believe Data Lakes are the future of security data. Scanner is the world's fastest full-text search and detection platform for Security Data Lakes.

Security teams can now search years and petabytes of logs in seconds (up to 700x faster than alternatives), eliminate SIEM coverage blind spots at 70-80% lower cost, and deploy in a day, all while maintaining full custody of their data in their own S3 buckets.

We believe security tools should scale with your data, not your budget. Teams shouldn't have to choose between comprehensive coverage and financial sustainability.

We're an early-stage team where every person has outsized...
