Sr. Database Engineer

Description


CodeHunter is an enterprise-grade malware threat hunting platform.  In seconds, we identify unknown malware threats that are undetectable to current cybersecurity solutions.  By automating the analysis process, we reduce dependency on manual efforts and provide actionable intelligence that protects your organization before you're impacted. We are passionate about pushing the boundaries of technology to create cutting-edge solutions that solve real-world problems. Our platform is growing rapidly, but with growth comes complexity — and we’re committed to delivering our malware threat hunting service at a global scale.
