Software Engineer III | Security

About the position ExtraHop is reinventing Network Detection and Response (NDR) to help enterprises and organziations stay ahead of emerging threats with unmatched network visibility, context, and control. Today’s attackers bypass traditional security defenses through identity-based entry, move invisibly across cloud, on-premise, and data center networks using encryption and trusted applications, and exploit and exit whenever they want. But all of that movement is visible on the network... if you can see it. By combining the power of NDR with Network Performance Management (NPM), Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS), and forensics in a single, integrated platform, ExtraHop can decrypt and unlock complete packet-level data at wire speed, analyze and correlate it across all your networks, applications, devices, and users with cloud-scale machine learning, and provide a single interface to the SOC to detect, investigate, and remediate modern cyber risks in real time. Position Summary An ideal candidate will have strong software engineering, networking, and cybersecurity fundamentals. This position works with security researchers and developers, developing systems to make them more efficient and effective. You'll deliver impactful solutions that empower research and development, as well as working directly with network data to emulate adversary behavior. ExtraHop offers an exciting, high-energy, and versatile environment in which people are encouraged and supported to collaborate on industry-leading technology and create a world-class engineering team while they develop and enrich their individual growth. And we're doing it with creativity, intellectual curiosity, and deep critical thinking. ExtraHop R&D supports fully-flexible work options that include full-time onsite, hybrid, and fully remote working arrangements. Except for a few roles that require physical access, we believe in supporting you in making the choice that works best for you and makes the team successful.
