Job Description
GreyNoise isn't your typical Threat Intelligence company. Our vision is to create a more costly and frustrating world for cyber attackers by reporting their actions and origins at machine speed, enabling the security community to know more about attackers than they know about themselves.
Through our global honeypot network, we are often the first to see exploitation for new vulnerabilities, and share it with the security community and our customers. We don't put our product behind a paywall that you have to jump through five calls and demos just to see - in fact, we are committed to providing the security community a free version of our product to explore. And we have an awesome team of cybersecurity experts who believe in our mission, working with each other closely to execute together.
At GreyNoise, we value:
- Curiosity
- Agency
- A passion for defending against the adversary
- Diversity in thinking and spirited collaboration
- A drive to get things done in creative ways
All positions are fully remote within the US, with optional office attendance at our DC area headquarters, unless otherwise specified. Applicants must have US work authorization.
The Role
GreyNoise Intelligence is seeking a Deception Engineer to join our team. In this role, you will architect and create hyperrealistic decoys and sensors across our global sensor network to expand and improve threat detection to enrich cyber threat intelligence data.
Responsibilities:
- Design and build innovative deception technology that attracts adversary attention
- Continuously enhance deception sensors to appear genuine and enticing to attackers
- Develop sensors that capture extensive threat telemetry when engaged
- Work closely with the Labs, Engineering, and Product teams to identify optimal deception opportunities
- Prototype and productionize new deception capabilities at scale
- Improve the efficacy of the deception platform through testing, metrics analysis, and sensor lifecycle management
What You Will Bring
- A culture-first, team-first attitude to everything you do
- Strong background in Virtualization and Containerization technologies

👩⚕️ 100% covered health, dental, vision, and life plans for all employees
6️⃣ Competitive 401k employer match of 6%. This will be 100% matched and vested from day 1
🏖 Unlimited paid time off. To encourage time off from work and ensure overall employee health and wellness, GreyNoise strongly recommends each employee to take at least 120 hours of PTO (3 weeks) annually, including at least five consecutive business days
🌎 Remote-first culture. While we are headquartered in the Washington DC area, we have a distributed workforce -- with the majority of our team working remotely from across the country
💻 Equipment budget. Every new employee gets $3,000 to spend on equipment, so you can pick whatever works best for you
👼 Paid family leave for all employees. We offer 4 months of paid leave (birth or adoption), plus 2 months of optional unpaid leave, so new parents have time to adjust to the new life (and work) schedule

🌴 Company offsites and monthly local hangouts to encourage team bonding
GreyNoise Culture
- Be transparent, honest, and objective. This is what it means to be “clinical”
- Empathize with customers, partners, and each other
- Learn from mistakes and share the knowledge
- The way feedback is delivered to one another matters as much as the feedback itself
- Good work-life balance is the key to sustained productivity
- The measure of a team member’s effectiveness is how well the rest of the team operates in their unexpected absence
- No such thing as a million dollar idea, only million dollar execution
- Out-innovate our previous selves
Check out our (work-in-progress) longform culture document.
Any security product that is a “black box” that asks you to blindly trust it should raise red flags - we believe the same is true of your place of work. We obviously think GreyNoise is doing something unique, but don’t take our word for it - ask any of our 150+ enterprise customers, investors, thousands of happy users, or dozens of journalists who have cited GreyNoise over the past few years.
- You enjoy identifying and solving hard problems
- You are comfortable taking an idea from concept to customer
- You are open to both explaining your stance and questioning others in a clinical, open-minded, and respectful manner
- You want to directly impact users
- You want to grow beyond your current skill set
Do you want to join our team? Then we'd love to hear about you!
