Ready to further your career in the fast-paced, exciting world of cyber security? Arctic Wolf, with its unicorn valuation, is the leader in security operations in an exciting and fast-growing industry—cybersecurity. We have won countless awards for our excellence in security operations and remain dedicated to providing an industry-leading customer and employee experience.

Our mission is simple: End Cyber Risk. We are looking for a Senior Developer to be part of making that happen!

About the Role

As a Senior Developer in the Big Data space, you’ll work on the team that focusses on building the systems that allow for the storage and rapid searching of big data focused on cyber security use cases. This security focused telemetry data is collected from customers by leveraging endpoint, network, and cloud data sources both inside and outside our customers’ networks. Our team designs, builds and manages large scale systems that allow both our customers as well as our own employees to leverage these various sets of data, to better understand and improve their security posture.

As a result, you’ll work within the exciting intersections of big data, distributed computing, cloud technologies and infrastructure as code. Our existing stacks includes both custom built and open source components written in Python, Go or Java, deployed within Amazon Web Services. We leverage both Kubernetes and other containerized platforms, along with legacy instance management platforms. Some major open source components we use include Elasticsearch, ClickHouse, RunDeck, and Prometheus along with various other components, as well as custom application services developed in-house.

Responsibilities Include:

• Implementation and design of new analytics products, taking customer requirements into account

• Maintenance of our existing Java and Go based systems

• Deployment and configuration of open source components

• Improve our capabilities to operate and scale reliably as we grow

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

• Ability, comfort, and interest in picking up new technologies and frameworks which you may not be familiar with

• Experience with Amazon Web Services
