Our accomplishments speak for themselves, from our recognition in the Forbes Cloud 100, CNBC Disruptor 50, Fortune Future 50, and Fortune Cyber 60 to winning the 2024 CRN Products of the Year award. We’re proud to be named a Leader in the IDC Market Scape for Worldwide Managed Detection and Response Services and earning a Customers' Choice distinction from Gartner Peer Insights. Our Aurora Platform also received CRN’s Products of the Year award in the inaugural Security Operations Platform category.

Our mission is simple: End Cyber Risk. We’re looking for a Lead Developer to be part of making this happen.

About the Role:

You’ll be working as a software developer on our Applications Team, responsible for delivering the cloud-based software that helps solve the real-world security problems that IT professionals face. We develop the internal data pipelines, algorithms and tools used by the security services team to keep our customers safe and informed.

Some of your day-to-day responsibilities will be:

• Participate in the full software development life cycle, building well-designed, testable, efficient, secure code.

• Develop professional expertise, apply company policies and procedures to resolve a variety of issues. Determine a course of action based on guidelines, and modify processes and methods as required.
• Develop an understanding of best practices for writing code and developing computer software.

We value a culture of sharing, so every team has the opportunity to share their work with the entire department during our monthly R&D Demos. Once a year we hold a department-wide Hackathon, teaming up across all R&D teams over four days to collaborate and build cool ideas outside the normal project scope. While innovation is the focus, some of these ideas do make it into our products.

About You

• Exhibit a strong analytical mindset, approaching problems with structured thinking and data-driven decision-making.
• Act as a go-getter, proactively identifying opportunities, taking initiative, and driving results.
• Show a keen interest in designing algorithms and solving computational challenges.
• Independently perform programming tasks and manage large-scale engineering efforts with confidence and precision.
• Communicate effectively with internal and external stakeholders, often translating complex technical concepts for non-technical audiences.
• MSc (or PhD) in Machine Learning from a reputable university is required.
• Minimum 5 years of software development experience, demonstrating technical expertise and consistent delivery of high-quality solutions.
• Mastery in a computer language of your choice.

Here are some of the core technologies we use and teach across our Applications teams. You should have experience in one or more of these, or similar technologies:

• Golang (nice to have 2 years of experience)
• AWS
• Kafka (nice to have 2 years of experience)
• Postgres
• SQL (2 years of experience is required)

You have a history of delivering successful projects, as well as some lessons learned from failures.

You’ll receive all the security training you need during our onboarding process and through additional training on the job.
