Sr. Principal Security Engineer | Architect

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.

We are looking for a hands-on architect who is dedicated to building world-class products. You will design, build, and deliver NDR for the world’s largest organizations. You are the technical SME for security architecture and threat hunting.

Key Responsibilities

• Collaborate with other architectures and technical SMEs to provide technical leadership in the architecture, design, and implementation of network detection and response

• Inject world class real world security knowledge into the design and development of the product

• Drive the design innovative detection methodologies to establish and maintain a leading edge threat detection program

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

• Promote a results driven culture, by promoting a culture of collaboration, trust, transparency, and productivity

Required Qualifications

• Experience as top tier incident response in the SOC
• Extensive experience in threat hunting
• Experience in threat research
• Experience in security engineering with a focus on designing and building security solutions (custom or commercial) for detection and response
• Experience in security operations

Preferred Qualifications

• Expert-level knowledge of TTPs as related to the network
• Working knowledge of Python or other similar programming language

The salary range for this position is 190,000 - 220,000 + bonus + benefits
