How We Work At Proofpoint you’ll be part of a global team that breaks barriers to redefine cybersecurity guided by our BRAVE core values Bold in how we dream and innovate Responsive to feedback, challenges and opportunities Accountable for results and best in class outcomes Visionary in future focused problem-solving Exceptional in execution and impact The Role The Threat Intelligence Services (TIS) team turns Proofpoint's threat data and telemetry into intelligence products for customers through reporting, analytics, detection content, and live briefings. Behind that work is a fast-growing suite of internal web applications, data integrations, automation, cloud infrastructure, and a customer-facing CMS. We are hiring a software engineer to build and operate that platform. You will own tools end to end standing up and running the team's AWS environment, building the APIs and integrations that connect internal threat-intel systems, third-party feeds, and AI/LLM services, and shipping the web front-ends and automation the analyst team relies on daily to produce and deliver intelligence at scale. This is a builder role for a full-stack, infrastructure-comfortable engineer who can take an idea from an analyst to a deployed, dependable tool with minimal supervision. This is the engineering counterpart to our customer-facing Threat Intelligence Analyst role you make the analysts faster and their output sharper by replacing manual, repetitive workflows with reliable software and ensure that customers can reliably access content and APIs. Your day-to-day Administer and troubleshoot the team's AWS environment, including but not limited to EC2, Lambda, storage, networking (VPC, DNS/Route 53, transit gateway, security groups), monitoring, and deployment pipelines. Design and build APIs and integrations (AWS API Gateway) that wire internal threat-intel platforms, third-party threat feeds, and LLM services into the tooling suite. Develop and deploy the web front-ends analysts use to generate and deliver intelligence (React / Node.js; Fuse), including dashboards, report/deck generators, and detection tooling. Maintain and develop enhancements to the headless CMS-based customer threat intel portal, its underlying database (PostgreSQL and Elastic Search) infrastructure, and micro-frontend (Fuse/React) Write Python services (FastAPI) for data processing, report and detection-rule generation, and workflow automation. Model and query data across PostgreSQL and Elastic Search and support headless-CMS-backed content workflows. Partner directly with analysts to identify manual, repetitive intelligence tasks and turn them into automated, maintainable products. Keep the platform secure, observable, and well-documented. You own reliability, troubleshooting, QA, and security for what you ship.

We are open to candidates around the 2-year mark, but this is not an entry-level role. Hands-on AWS administration EC2, Lambda, storage, networking, monitoring, and troubleshooting. API development and integration experience; AWS API Gateway preferred. Front-end development with React and Node.js, ideally including Fuse (or a comparable React application framework). Proficiency in Python. SQL and relational database experience, preferably PostgreSQL. Ability to learn new systems and domains quickly and work independently across the full stack infrastructure, backend, and front-end. Nice to have Micro front-end development and deployment. ElasticSearch. Experience with headless CMSs (e.g., dotCMS, Payload, Strapi, or Contentful). MCP (Model Context Protocol) server development. Containerization (Docker), CI/CD, and infrastructure-as-code. Familiarity with cybersecurity or threat-intelligence concepts as you'll work shoulder-to-shoulder with analysts, so curiosity about the domain goes a long way (you don't need to be an analyst yourself).

Here's how to pick the right one and stand out in your application.
144.883Jobs
31.687IN
81%EN
That number is real. WorkMundi's database shows 144,883 open engineer roles across the world. India has the most with 31,687 jobs, followed by the United States with 30,084. If you just finished reading one job ad and felt paralyzed by choice, you're not alone—but this scale is actually an advantage. It means you can afford to be selective.
Start by geography and language. The majority of engineer ads—117,837 of them—have the job posting text written in English. Use that as one filter, but remember: the ad text language tells you nothing about whether the role actually requires you to speak English day-to-day. Read the job description carefully. Then check which countries have the volume you're targeting. Singapore, Poland, and Australia round out the top five after India and the US.
Next, learn who's hiring. Accenture has posted 2,801 engineer roles. andurilindustries, speechify, and jobgether are also actively recruiting. If you're applying to one of these names, research their hiring patterns and interview style before you apply. That homework pays off.
When you interview, expect the question every engineer hears: 'Tell me about a time you had to debug a problem that wasn't in your job description.' Have a specific story ready—not a general one. Name the tools, the deadline pressure, and what you learned. Hiring managers listen for whether you see problem-solving as part of the role itself, not a favour.
