Software Engineer - New Graduate

What Our Platform Does

Our platform analyzes security alerts, develops and executes investigation plans, and produces detailed findings and actionable recommendations. Security analysts review these investigations and provide context and feedback, which are continuously incorporated into future automation.
The Impact You'll Have

As a New Graduate Software Engineer, you'll help build and evolve the core backend systems that power Prophet's platform. Working alongside experienced engineers and experts in product, machine learning, and cybersecurity, you'll contribute to services that ingest, process, and reason over large volumes of security data.

Example projects may include:
  • Integrations at scale: Building extensible frameworks for integrations with third-party security systems, including SIEMs, EDR/XDR platforms, identity providers, and cloud and SaaS logs.
  • Proof-of-Value pipelines: Developing performant, reliable backends that enable fast customer onboarding and compelling proof-of-value experiences, from data ingestion to actionable insights.
  • Security data platforms: Designing storage, indexing, and access patterns for highly dimensional, time-oriented security data used in real-time analysis and historical investigations.
  • AI-powered security workflows: Developing and evaluating agents and automation that help security teams investigate threats more quickly and effectively.

You'll write production code, participate in technical design, collaborate across teams, and take ownership of projects from development through deployment. You'll receive guidance and mentorship while gaining the independence to solve meaningful technical and customer problems.

Our technology stack: AI-powered agents, data synthesis and correlation, security-tool integrations, Python, Go, React, and TypeScript.
