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 detection developer who loves building things and cares deeply about code quality and reliability while optimizing performance. You enjoy coordinating with distributed cross-functional teams. You are constantly adapting to emerging technologies, trends, and best practices. 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 and teach across our detections teams:

• Python

• Sigma

• Suricata

• Wazuh

• Kibana

• Git

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 detection development or full-stack development frameworks and practices is relevant and transferrable.
