<h3><strong>To help avoid bots and fake submissions we require email authentication after you submit your application</strong></h3> <h3>&nbsp;</h3> <h3><strong>About Scanner</strong></h3> <p>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.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3><strong>What We Built</strong></h3> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>We believe security tools should scale with your data, not your budget. Teams shouldn't have to choose between comprehensive coverage and financial sustainability.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3><strong>The Team</strong></h3> <p>We're an early-stage team where every person has outsized impact on what we build and how we serve customers.</p> <p>People join Scanner because they want to:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Solve genuinely hard technical problems</strong> - Making petabyte-scale search feel instant requires deep systems thinking and novel approaches.</li> <li><strong>Work pragmatically and move fast</strong> - We ship quality products quickly by focusing on what actually matters to customers.</li> <li><strong>Have direct impact</strong> - Talk to users, shape product direction, and see your work make a difference immediately</li> </ul> <p>We're builders focused on creating genuinely transformative tools for security teams dealing with massive data challenges.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3><strong>The Role</strong></h3> <p>We're looking for a Full Stack Engineer to join our team to create high quality products with great UX in record time.
