Senior Software Developer - Real-Time Processing Platform
About The Position
In this role, you will help design, build, and enhance mission-critical services that support event enrichment, detection, correlation, stream processing, and pipeline orchestration at massive scale. Working at the edge of cloud-native system limits, you will tackle challenging distributed systems problems and contribute to the ongoing evolution of our platform as we continue to scale performance, flexibility, and detection effectiveness in an increasingly sophisticated, AI-driven threat landscape. Arctic Wolf’s R&D organization builds the systems that power our security operations platform. The Real-Time Processing Platform Team is responsible for many of the core systems used to enrich, process, correlate, and analyze data that drives detection and analytics across the platform. You will be part of a team working on foundational systems that directly impact multiple areas of the platform, helping ensure reliability, data quality, and adaptability as requirements evolve. The team works closely with threat researchers, detection engineers, and security experts across Arctic Wolf. We build the platforms, frameworks, and real-time processing engines that transform security expertise into scalable detections, enabling security experts to express increasingly sophisticated detection logic at scale while helping Arctic Wolf identify and respond to threats across trillions of events per day.
