Software Engineer III | Cloud R&D
We are ExtraHop. We're on a mission to provide security teams with the intelligence they need to confront and stop advanced threats like supply chain attacks, zero day exploits, and ransomware attacks. Cyber attackers still have the advantage. We’re taking it back with creativity, intellectual curiosity, and a sense of humor. Are you ready to help us reclaim the upper hand?
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.
The mission of the Cyber Range team is to create a fault-resilient, highly available cloud platform used by our customers, sales teams, and anyone interested in understanding how the ExtraHop product works. 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.
The Cyber Range Platform is a cloud-native environment built on AWS. It utilizes AWS Cloud Formation Templates to define Infrastructure-as-Code, and our services are written primarily in Python with a focus on security, scalability, and stability. Our goal is to build a reliable platform for customer-facing services while encouraging healthy work-life balance via automated remediation and fault-tolerant designs.
