About the Team

Aurora Managed Endpoint Defense (mEDR) is an AI-powered endpoint security solution that delivers continuous threat prevention, detection, and response. It leverages behavioral analytics and machine learning to identify sophisticated threats like ransomware and fileless malware. Fully integrated with Arctic Wolf’s SOC, it enables 24×7 expert monitoring and guided remediation. The solution scales across environments, helping organizations strengthen their endpoint security posture while reducing alert fatigue.

Role Overview

We are looking for an experienced and driven Software Developer to join our backend development team. In this role, you’ll be expected to contribute to the design and implementation of backend services, improve system performance and reliability, and mentor junior developers.

• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines, enforce coding standards, and improve deployment reliability

• Manage containerized deployments using Docker and Kubernetes across multiple environments

• Design efficient and reliable PostgreSQL schemas and queries; own data-layer performance

• Integrate with messaging systems like Kafka, SQS, or RabbitMQ for asynchronous workflows

• Implement observability best practices using tools like Prometheus, Grafana, or ELK stack

• Follow test-driven development (TDD) principles and apply domain-driven design (DDD) practices where applicable

• Troubleshoot and resolve production issues quickly and effectively

• Provide mentorship to junior developers and contribute to a culture of engineering excellence
