Principal Software Engineer

Over 580 employees work across sales, engineering, consulting and the SOC. We operate security operations centres on three continents, so alerts are triaged by analysts on day shift wherever they arrive.

• Keep dependencies current and patch findings from Dependabot or Snyk.
