About the Role

Arctic Wolf’s Exposure Management platform, built on a core foundation of Cyber Asset Attack Surface Management (CAASM), helps organizations discover, contextualize, and secure every asset across their environment. Our teams operate as empowered, cross-functional product teams — engineers, product managers, and designers collaborating to solve customer problems, not just ship features. We embrace Dev Ops principles and believe the teams that build it, own it.

As a Principal Developer

  • Customer-focused — you build empathy for the problems customers face and let that inform technical decisions

  • A clear communicator who can present to a room, read the room, and adjust — equally effective with engineers and executives

  • Foster cross-functional collaboration within empowered product teams, working alongside product management and design to balance value, usability, and feasibility

  • Elevate engineers around you — through pairing, code review, design discussions, and knowledge sharing — so that teams deliver better solutions and individuals grow in their careers

  • Contribute to multi-year technology planning and roadmap discussions

  • Participate in the on-call rotation and serve as a technical escalation point during incidents – helping teams diagnose and resolve complex platform issues

  • Our Technology Stack: Rust, Go, Python, AWS (Lambda, DynamoDB, Aurora PostgreSQL, SQS, Event Bridge), GCP (Spanner)
