Software Developer

Arctic Wolf, with its unicorn valuation, is the leader in security operations in an exciting and fast-growing industry—cybersecurity. We have won countless awards for our excellence in security operations and remain dedicated to providing an industry-leading customer and employee experience.

Our mission is simple: End Cyber Risk. We’re looking for a Software Developer to be part of making that happen.

About The Role

You'll be working as a Developer on our Applications Team, responsible for delivering the cloud-based software that helps solve the real-world security problems that IT professionals face.

• Build 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.

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.
