Our accomplishments speak for themselves, from our recognition in the Forbes Cloud 100, CNBC Disruptor 50, Fortune Future 50, and Fortune Cyber 60 to winning the 2024 CRN Products of the Year award. We’re proud to be named a Leader in the IDC MarketScape for Worldwide Managed Detection and Response Services and earning a Customers' Choice distinction from Gartner Peer Insights. Our Aurora Platform also received CRN’s Products of the Year award in the inaugural Security Operations Platform category. Join a company that’s not only leading, but also shaping, the future of security operations.

Our mission is to end cyber risk. This is a unique opportunity to lead a high-impact, highly technical team in a fast-growing company recognized on the Deloitte Fast 500, with a track record of doubling in size, revenue, and customer base year over year.

About The Role

You’ll be working as a software engineer on the Production Engineering team supporting the Aurora Endpoint Defense Engineering organization, responsible for developing and maintaining automated testing systems and test frameworks to support EDR/EPP/XDR services and solutions. This team primarily supports the Arctic Wolf endpoint agent but will soon expand to support other pillars as well, including Arctic Wolf network scanners and sensors. You are a fully qualified, experienced professional for this role and seek opportunities to grow and advance in your career.

As a software engineer, you will be working with other engineers, developers, and managers to deliver quality features on and support our test frameworks and automated testing systems to ensure continuous integration and delivery. You'll also participate in code reviews, design reviews and help maintain a culture of quality and ownership within the team.

Some of your day-to-day responsibilities will be:

• Maintain and support the automated testing systems in use by the agent endpoint team.
• Help design and develop new test frameworks and automated test systems for use across the Aurora Endpoint Defense Engineering organization.
• Write clear, well-tested code that meets our quality standards.
• Review peer-written code to ensure accuracy and quality.
• Participate in on-call rotations.
• Understand and work on complex issues where analysis of situations or data requires an in-depth evaluation of variable factors.
• Display ownership of complete solutions from requirements-gathering to product delivery.
• Interact with other teams to troubleshoot issues, gather requirements and feedback, etc.
• Contribute to and provide feedback on architectural design documents and data flow diagrams.
• Exercise judgment in selecting methods, evaluating, adapting of complex techniques and evaluation criteria for obtaining results.

We value a culture of sharing, so every team has the opportunity to share their work with the entire department during our regular R&D Demos. Once a year we hold a department-wide Hackathon, teaming up across all R&D teams over four days to collaborate and build cool ideas outside the normal project scope. While innovation is the focus, some of these ideas do make it into our products.

This is a NOT a manual testing role, but comprehension of software testing best practices is a must. We require software engineers who are interested in developing testing tools and infrastructure and will work alongside product developers to help build testability into our product suite as well as ensure quality at every level of the Software Development Life Cycle.

You have built test frameworks and evolved test automation strategies. You bring a software engineering approach to testing. You are a champion of quality code.

You have worked closely in a global team of professionals with different cultures and backgrounds to form one unit with a strong sense of purpose. You will learn as you teach, making the whole more than the sum.

Here are some of the core technologies we use and teach on the team. You should have experience in these or similar technologies:

• Prior experience with an endpoint software is preferred.

You have a history of delivering successful projects, as well as some lessons learned from failures.
