Detection Analytics Software Engineer


Company : TEKsystems


Location : Redmond, WA


Created : 2026-02-14


Job Type : Full Time


Job Description

Description5 Month Project with chance of extension, but project shouldn't take more than 8 months. Remote candidates will be accepted, but candidates THAT CAN COME ONSITE 3 DAYS/WK ARE PREFERRED!IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ: This program is made up of 2 projects, with one team on each. Each project team will have 2 developers + 1 PM + 1 Data Scientist (and possibly an ME/EE SME). Two separate teams will execute in parallel (retrofit HRU vs new-build CDU) with minimal crossover due to scope, timeline, and deployment constraints. This role will pair with a Platform Integration RoleTEAM OVERVIEW:The Signals Quality team in Microsoft’s CO+I IDEA group deploys high-reliability detections across data-center telemetry. The team blends analytics (Python/KQL), cloud-native engineering (Azure Functions/Logic Apps), and CI/CD hardening via Azure DevOps. Close collaboration with Solutions Engineering enables rapid low/no-code deployments that later graduate into production-grade components. PROJECT OVERVIEW:This role focuses on translating validated detection logic into deployable analytics for two environments:• Retrofit sites using HRU (Heat Rejection Units) and• New build sites using CDU (Cooling Distribution Units).Workstreams are dedicated per site to meet aggressive timelines. Deployments target a Phoenix-area site and a Milwaukee-area site; no travel is expected.THIS ROLE'S CONTRIBUTION: You will design, implement, validate, and tune time-series detections over large telemetry sets. You’ll author advanced KQL (ADX) for data shaping and replay, build Python-based analytics (often in notebooks) to iterate quickly, and package logic into Azure Functions/Logic Apps with CI/CD in Azure DevOps so detections can be rolled out reliably at scale.TOP SKILLS:1) Advanced KQL / Azure Data Explorer (ADX) • Author time-series queries (e.g., make-series, make-list, joins, windows) to extract, aggregate, and diagnose telemetry at scale. • Build replay datasets and run historical backtests to validate threshold/anomaly logic and severity classification before production. • Identify data gaps and propose telemetry enhancements, map operational scenarios to available signals.2) Python for Analytics (incl. notebooks) - 7+ YOE • Wrangle/transpose large datasets; implement feature engineering and transformations needed by detection logic. • Prototype and harden anomaly/threshold detection logic; collaborate with DS to quantify precision/recall tradeoffs and alert fatigue reduction. • Package analytics into Azure Functions or glue code around Logic Apps when appropriate.3) Azure Functions / Logic Apps + Azure DevOps CI/CD - 3+ YOE • Convert proven analytics into deployable components; manage pipelines, artifacts, secrets, and approvals in ADO. • Integrate detection outputs into downstream systems and operator-facing surfaces; contribute to runbooks and validation plans. • Partner with Solutions Engineering to deliver rapid low/no-code wins, then graduate those into hardened CI/CD-backed services.DAY TO DAY RESPONSIBILITIES:- Analyze large telemetry sets; shape/replay datasets; validate detection effectiveness and tune severity to reduce alert fatigue.• Translate prototype logic into production-ready analytics (Python/KQL); package into Functions/Logic Apps and wire up CI/CD.• Work with Solutions Engineering on low/no-code accelerators; coordinate with Engineering to harden and scale solutions. • Validate data paths and telemetry onboarding; triage signal gaps with domain SMEs (CDU/HRU).• Track work in ADO boards; contribute to design notes, detection descriptions, validation plans, and weekly status for the PM.BEST VS AVERAGE:Best: - Moves fluently between notebooks and ADX- Quickly builds/replays time-series detections- Collaborates cross-functionally to land Logic Apps/Functions with robust CI/CD- Communicates clearly about tradeoffs and outcomes.• Average: Strong coder but slow on time-series KQL or dataset shaping, relies heavily on others to productionize logic; struggles to tell the story of results for operators and PMs.Skillsc-sharp, python, azure, ci/cd, Kusto, KQL, powershell, github, devops, machine learning, AITop Skills Detailsc-sharp,python,azure,ci/cd,Kusto,KQL,powershell,github,devopsAdditional Skills & QualificationsN/AExperience LevelExpert LevelWe reserve the right to pay above or below the posted wage based on factors unrelated to sex, race, or any other protectedclassification.
