About GreyNoise
GreyNoise is a mission driven security startup focused on helping organizations understand and mitigate risks from Internet scanning and exploitation. GreyNoise provides real-time intelligence on all actors scanning the Internet and how some of them are attempting to exploit vulnerabilities on assets connected to corporate networks. The intelligence is highly trusted because it’s generated from a global fleet of thousands of purpose built sensors observing the Internet. Advanced data science techniques and AI are used to process millions of observed events into real-time intelligence for customers.Organizations use GreyNoise intelligence to understand the background scanning noise on the Internet and reduce up to 40% of alerts in a SOC.
Threat hunting, vulnerability prioritization, incident investigation, and emerging threat response are other popular use cases for GreyNoise. The user base includes more than 10,000 community users and with 100 plus paid customers.All positions are fully remote within the US, with optional office attendance at our DC area headquarters, unless otherwise specified. Applicants must have US work authorization.

- Proficiency in network monitoring tools, including PCAP analysis and Wireshark.
- Knowledge of software testing methodologies and experience designing effective tests.
- Experience operating and maintaining production systems in a public cloud environment.
- Ability to write readable, maintainable code and produce clear documentation.
- Strong communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively across teams.
- Demonstrate engineering rigor by writing clean, maintainable code, comprehensive documentation, and thorough tests.
Nice to Haves
- Interest in data science and familiarity with LLMs, clustering, classification, etc.
- Familiarity or interest in internet mass scanning or honeypots.
- Experience with virtualization and containerization technologies, such as VMs, Docker, or other hypervisors.
- Understanding of information security and networking topics, including internet protocols (HTTP, SSH, Telnet), remote service exploitation, Denial-of-Service attacks, and PCAP data.
A Few of our Engineering Principles
- Readability of code is judged by the reviewer, not the author.
- Deliver fast, deliver often.
- Tech is cheap, don't be afraid to throw it away.
- Write tests to ensure stability and trust in the system.
- Don’t be afraid to change anything that already exists.
- Slow is smooth and smooth is fast.
- Technical compromises are good.
- Utility and adoption are factored into the success criteria of all prototypes.

- Learn from mistakes and share the knowledge
- The way feedback is delivered to one another matters as much as the feedback itself
- Good work-life balance is the key to sustained productivity
- The measure of a team member’s effectiveness is how well the rest of the team operates in their unexpected absence
- No such thing as a million dollar idea, only million dollar execution
- Out-innovate our previous selves
