Our global team of dedicated Pack members is driving innovation and setting new industry standards every day. Our impact speaks for itself: we've earned recognition on the Forbes Cloud 100, CNBC Disruptor 50, Fortune Future 50, and Fortune Cyber 60 lists, and we recently took home 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 simple: End Cyber Risk. We’re looking for a Developer to be part of making this happen.  

About the Role

You’ll be working as a software developer on our Applications Team, responsible for delivering the cloud-based software that helps solve the real-world security problems that IT professionals face. We develop the internal tools used by the security services team to keep our customers safe and informed.

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

• Participate in the full software development life cycle, building well-designed, testable, efficient, secure code.

• Produce specifications and determine operational feasibility.

• Integrate software components into a fully functional software system; document and maintain software functionality.

• Execute assigned and self generated work. Seek and receive mentoring.

• Understand the product and how Security Services delivers the service.

• Develop professional expertise, apply company policies and procedures to resolve a variety of issues. Determine a course of action based on guidelines, and modify processes and methods as required.

• Develop an understanding of best practices for writing code and developing computer software.

We value a culture of sharing, so every team has the opportunity to share their work with the entire department during our monthly 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.

About You

You’re a talented software developer who enjoys solving technical challenges. You care about writing quality code that is maintainable. Working collaboratively in cross-functional teams is your thing. You will build productive internal/external working relationships to resolve mutual problems by collaborating on procedures or transactions, with a focus on providing standard professional advice and creating initial reports/analyses for review by experienced team professionals.

Here are some of the core technologies we use across our Applications teams:

• Python/Django

• Go

• React/Typescript

• AWS

• Git

• Docker

• HTML/CSS

You are not required to be an expert in any of these, but you should be excited by the opportunity to learn new things and comfortable with coming up to speed quickly. Any experience with full-stack development frameworks and practices is relevant and transferrable. You’ll receive all the security training you need during our onboarding process and through additional training on the job.

Interview Process

The interview process is approximately as follows:

• Phone pre-screening: A recruiter contacts you to briefly discuss your work history and provide an overview of Arctic Wolf.

• Technical assessment: A recruiter sends you a link to a straightforward technical assessment that is relevant to the role you are applying for.

• Face-to-face interviews: Several team members conduct two interviews to learn more about you and provide more information about your potential role and team. This interview will touch on past projects and your career goals.
