So are we. We love taking on tough challenges, disrupting the status quo, and creating what’s next. We’re in search of talented people who are inspired by big challenges, driven to learn and grow, and dedicated to making a meaningful difference.About HP Wolf Security Cloud ServiceThe HP Wolf Security Cloud Service is composed of several different services that serve various roles in the architecture.The HP Wolf Security Controller provides security policy and software updates for the endpoint security product installed on the client PCs. It also receives status, events and threat data from these clients, including malware traces which are used to produce interactive visualisations in the web-based UI and summarised in reports. The Controller is deployed at scale, both on-premises at individual corporate enterprises with tens of thousands of clients, and in the cloud across hundreds of AWS instances. We're continuing to scale further, while also adding support for new products and enhancing existing features. The HP Wolf Security Portal is the unifying service for customers accessing the capabilities provided by HP Wolf Security on endpoints. Integrating with different SSO providers (Azure AD, HP ID) for authentication, it enables self-service onboarding for entitlement to HP Wolf Security endpoint software. For small-medium businesses or consumers it provides a simplified license management and configuration portal, whereas for larger customers it provides integrated access to their own dedicated Controller. It has features to support partners and our HP support teams to help customers onboard and manage their HP Wolf Security products. There may also be an opportunity to work on other supporting cloud services where some make use of Go, along with others using our typical stack. About HP Wolf SecurityThe primary focus of the HP Wolf Security team is developing cyber security solutions to protect our customers devices and data. The digital threat landscape is ever-changing and as the cyber security industry reacts and adapts to changes, so too do the malware authors.  Our unique micro-virtualization technology ensures that customers are protected from even the most bleeding edge cyber security threats. That micro-virtualization technology forms a key pillar in a wider cyber security suite that we're actively developing. To see what our engineering teams are working on, check out our technical blogs: https://threatresearch.ext.hp.com/blogOur history:Inspired by the isolation principles of traditional virtualization, our team known then as Bromium, created a game-changing technology called micro-virtualization to protect end users against advanced malware. Every task the user performs, such as opening a document or clicking on a link, is isolated in its own micro-VM, with access to just the resources required for that task, and existing just for the life of the task. Protection is thus provided through isolation, without relying on detection, hence reliably defending the user from polymorphic and even zero-day malware. Bromium was acquired by HP Inc on 19 September 2019 forming HP Wolf Security.  For more information, visit our website: https://www.hp.com/uk-en/security/endpoint-security-solutions.htmlJob -SoftwareSchedule -Full timeShift -No shift premium (United Kingdom)Travel -Relocation -EEO Tagline - HP Inc. is EEO F/M/Protected Veteran/ Individual with Disabilities.
