Senior Principal Security Engineer and Architect

ExtraHop is transforming the landscape of Network Detection and Response (NDR) to empower enterprises and organizations to stay ahead of emerging threats with unparalleled network visibility, context, and control.

Today, attackers bypass traditional security defenses using identity-based entry, moving undetected across cloud, on-premise, and data center networks. They exploit weaknesses and exit whenever they want. However, all that movement is visible on the network... if you have the right tools.

By integrating the power of NDR with Network Performance Management (NPM), Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS), and forensics into a single, cohesive platform, ExtraHop enables complete packet-level data analysis at wire speed. Our technology utilizes cloud-scale machine learning to analyze and correlate data across all networks, applications, devices, and users, providing security operations teams the tools they need to detect, investigate, and remediate modern cyber risks in real-time.

We are looking for an innovative and hands-on architect who is passionate about building world-class products. You will play a crucial role in designing, building, and delivering NDR solutions for prominent organizations. As the technical Subject Matter Expert (SME) for security architecture and threat hunting, your expertise will shape our product development.

• Research, evaluate, and recommend emerging security technologies to enhance the product's capabilities for detection and response.
