## About the role

As a Lead Software Engineer on our Fleet team, you'll set the technical direction for the frontend that security teams rely on to operate fleets of Corelight sensors — sometimes hundreds at a time — and act on the configuration, lifecycle, and operational data those fleets produce.

## What they're looking for

- Core Values Alignment: You natively embody "low ego results," "tireless service," and "applied curiosity" in your daily engineering practices and team interactions
- Product & User Empathy: You are passionate about building interfaces that simplify dense, complex data representations into intuitive workflows for security defenders
- Systems Thinking: You look beyond isolated components to understand how state, data flow, and frontend architecture tightly integrate across a massive, enterprise-scale application
- Decisive Problem Solving: You comfortably navigate ambiguity, balance conflicting technical constraints, and make rapid, high-impact architectural decisions
- Strategic Communication: You possess strong written and verbal communication skills used to influence product direction, align distributed teams, and articulate technical trade-offs clearly
- Professional Experience: 8+ years of professional software development experience, with a definitive track record in senior, staff, or lead frontend engineering roles
