We believe every business deserves access to cloud-enabled, enterprise-grade security solutions that are easy to buy, deploy, and use. We protect email, networks, data and applications with innovative solutions that grow and adapt with our customers’ journey. More than 200,000 organizations worldwide trust Barracuda to protect them — in ways they may not even know they are at risk — so they can focus on taking their business to the next level.        About the team   Join our Impersonation Protection and Incident Response Engineering team as a Senior Software Engineer, where you'll play a pivotal role in transforming email security amid escalating cyber threats. In 2022, half of all organizations fell prey to social engineering attacks, underscoring the critical need for advanced, proactive defenses.   Our team leads the charge with AI-driven technologies that analyze attack patterns, detect anomalies, and evolve defenses in real-time. We continuously refine email security by leveraging AI to learn from behavioral patterns, significantly reducing false positives.   When email-borne threats breach traditional defenses and reach user inboxes, rapid and accurate response is crucial to mitigate damage and prevent further spread. Manual response methods are time-consuming and inefficient, allowing threats to escalate. Our team automates these processes, swiftly identifying attack vectors, eliminating malicious emails, and executing tailored remediation actions with automated workflows customized to meet specific needs.   Our tech stack is robust, centering on Python, Java and Go, supported by PostgreSQL, DynamoDB, and Redis datastores, orchestrated through containers on AWS. We harness additional services like Kinesis, SQS, and Lambda to scale our systems effectively.   We’re expanding across the US and India, blocking hundreds of millions of emails weekly and managing petabytes of data for 132 countries. Help us revolutionize email security for billions of mailboxes. Take the lead in shaping the future of cybersecurity with innovative solutions and proactive defenses.
