Network Engineer - Must be in the Greater Seattle Area

ExtraHop Networks • Seattle, WA

35d • $130,000 - $155,000 • Hybrid

About The Position

ExtraHop is reinventing Network Detection and Response (NDR) to help enterprises and organziations stay ahead of emerging threats with unmatched network visibility, context, and control. Today's attackers bypass traditional security defenses through identity-based entry, move invisibly across cloud, on-premise, and data center networks using encryption and trusted applications, and exploit and exit whenever they want. But all of that movement is visible on the network... if you can see it. By combining the power of NDR with Network Performance Management (NPM), Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS), and forensics in a single, integrated platform, ExtraHop can decrypt and unlock complete packet-level data at wire speed, analyze and correlate it across all your networks, applications, devices, and users with cloud-scale machine learning, and provide a single interface to the SOC to detect, investigate, and remediate modern cyber risks in real time. Position Summary The Network Engineer is responsible for the implementation, maintenance and ongoing management of Extrahop's hybrid network infrastructure, encompassing on-premise, co-located and cloud environments. This is an operational role with participation in the design and on-going evolution of the network infrastructure. The ideal candidate brings solid understanding and experience with Enterprise and Data Center Networking, Hybrid/Cloud Networking, Network Security and overall Network Architecture principles; is proactive in identifying areas of long-term improvement; and thrives in a collaborative environment working alongside Systems, Security and Software Engineering teams. This position also offers opportunities to grow complementary skill sets within a highly technical organization.
