Do you want to help make the world safe from cyber attack?

At Corelight, we believe that the best approach to cybersecurity risk starts with the network. Attackers can evade endpoint detection, firewalls and many other technologies - but they can't avoid leaving digital footprints on the networks they traverse. Built on open-source innovations from Zeek, Suricata and YARA and refined through years of real-world use, Corelight transforms network footprints from physical, virtual and cloud networks into actionable insights. Our customers use these insights to speed incident response and proactively hunt for threats.

We are seeking a Platform Architect to contribute to the strategic development of Corelight's hardware & software platforms and enhance our Network Detection and Response (NDR) operational capabilities both on-premise and in the cloud. If you are a passionate, curious self-starter interested in network security and are looking to have a strategic impact on core technologies used to defend networks and inform critical responders, then this role is for you!
