Overview

Twitch is seeking a Software Development Engineer to design and implement scalable security solutions. You'll work with Java, Python, and AWS to enhance the security of the platform. This role requires experience in security engineering and cloud technologies.

Job Description

Who you are

You have a strong background in software development with a focus on security — you understand the complexities of building secure systems and have experience with security data processing and authentication mechanisms. You are proficient in programming languages such as Java and Python, and you have hands-on experience with cloud technologies like AWS. Your problem-solving skills are top-notch, and you thrive in collaborative environments where you can work with cross-functional teams to tackle security challenges.

You are familiar with containerization and orchestration tools such as Docker and Kubernetes — you understand how to deploy and manage applications in a secure manner. You have a keen interest in privacy engineering and compliance, and you are always looking for innovative ways to enhance security protocols. Your ability to analyze security telemetry and automate workflows sets you apart as a candidate who can contribute significantly to the team.

Desirable

Experience with security frameworks and tools is a plus — you may have worked with Burp Suite, OWASP, or similar technologies. Familiarity with data engineering concepts will help you excel in this role, as you will be dealing with large-scale security data. You are also open to learning new technologies and methodologies that can improve security practices at Twitch.

What you'll do

As a Software Development Engineer II on the Security Platform team, you will design, build, and operate critical services that enhance Twitch's security posture. Your day-to-day responsibilities will include collaborating with engineering teams to develop scalable security solutions that protect user data and privacy. You will dive deep into security data processing, implementing innovative approaches to handle security telemetry and automate security workflows.

You will contribute to the development of tools and pipelines that support Twitch's security, privacy, and compliance programs. This role requires you to stay updated on the latest security threats and trends, ensuring that Twitch remains a safe platform for its users. You will also participate in code reviews and contribute to the overall improvement of the team's development practices.

What we offer

Twitch offers a competitive salary range of $165,200—$223,600 annually, along with comprehensive benefits that support your well-being and career growth. You will be part of a vibrant community that values collaboration and innovation, working alongside talented individuals who are passionate about technology and community engagement. We encourage you to apply even if your experience doesn't match every requirement — we value diverse perspectives and backgrounds. Join us in empowering live communities and making a difference in the world of streaming.
