Senior Software Engineer | Cloud Services

ExtraHop is reinventing Network Detection and Response (NDR) to help enterprises and organizations 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

The mission of the Cloud team is to create a fault-resilient, highly available, customer-centric platform. In this role, you will work with the team to build a large, scalable, secure platform and services using cutting-edge technologies. If you are obsessed with customer success, passionate about simplification, and excited to dive deep into technology best practices, this will be a rewarding opportunity.

ExtraHop Cloud Infrastructure, which hosts ExtraHop's analytics and anomaly detection services, is built on AWS and Kubernetes. It is fully automated, using Terraform and Ansible with continuous integration testing and several releases each week.
