Sr. Software Engineer | Machine Learning Infrastructure

We are ExtraHop. We're on a mission to provide security teams with the intelligence they need to confront and stop advanced threats like supply chain attacks, zero day exploits, and ransomware attacks. Cyber attackers still have the advantage. We’re taking it back with creativity, intellectual curiosity, and a sense of humor. Are you ready to help us reclaim the upper hand?

Every day, banks, hospitals, government agencies, and entertainment companies rely on Extrahop’s Reveal(x) a cloud-based machine learning cyber security platform to understand which users, devices and network activities they can trust. With this knowledge companies prevent fraud, data breaches, and can focus on building better user experiences, instead of worrying about security.

The Machine Learning Infrastructure team owns the tools that empower the development of new machine learning models and data intelligence at Extrahop. Scalability, efficiency and experimentation is the lifeblood of machine learning. Come help build tools that simplify the processes that make all this possible. 

What we’re looking for:

Our goal on the Machine Learning Infrastructure team is to make it fast, easy, and cost effective to design, code, deploy, perform experiments and analyze data from new and existing threat detection models.  As an engineer on this team, you will design and build infrastructure and tooling to support ongoing research and scalability efforts. 

What you’ll do:

• Design and build tooling to enable data scientists and ML engineers to quickly iterate on models and experiments. 
• Motivate, teach, and empathize with a variety of engineering and analytical roles.
• Lead architecture discussions to meet the requirements of machine learning teams at the scale of thousands of models and hundreds of terabytes of data. 
• Implement scalable, high-throughput, fault-tolerant, extensible, and easily maintainable systems.

A successful candidate will have:

• Designed and built scalable, fault-tolerant services for production data
• Experience iterating on large, complex prediction systems
• Strong software engineering fundamentals
• Strong communication & collaboration skills, and a belief that team output is more important than individual output
• Experience with big data and related systems

Bonus points:

• Experience building backend systems using Python, Docker, Postgres
• Knowledge of container technologies / AWS
• Experience working with large datasets using Spark / MapReduce
