About Us:
Proofpoint is a global leader in human- and agent-centric cybersecurity. We protect how people, data, and AI agents connect across email, cloud, and collaboration tools. Over 80 of the Fortune 100, 10,000 large enterprises, and millions of smaller organizations trust Proofpoint to stop threats, prevent data loss, and build resilience across their people and AI workflows. Our mission is simple: safeguard the digital world and empower people to work securely and confidently. Join us in our pursuit to defend data and protect people.
How We Work:
At Proofpoint you’ll be part of a global team that breaks barriers to redefine cybersecurity guided by our BRAVE core values:
Bold in how we dream and innovate
Responsive to feedback, challenges and opportunities
Accountable for results and best in class outcomes
Visionary in future focused problem-solving
Exceptional in execution and impact
The Role
The Threat Intelligence Services (TIS) team turns Proofpoint's threat data and telemetry into intelligence products for customers through reporting, analytics, detection content, and live briefings. Behind that work is a fast-growing suite of internal web applications, data integrations, automation, cloud infrastructure, and a customer-facing CMS. We are hiring a software engineer to build and operate that platform.
You will own tools end to end: standing up and running the team's AWS environment, building the APIs and integrations that connect internal threat-intel systems, third-party feeds, and AI/LLM services, and shipping the web front-ends and automation the analyst team relies on daily to produce and deliver intelligence at scale. This is a builder role for a full-stack, infrastructure-comfortable engineer who can take an idea from an analyst to a deployed, dependable tool with minimal supervision.
This is the engineering counterpart to our customer-facing Threat Intelligence Analyst role: you make the analysts faster and their output sharper by replacing manual, repetitive workflows with reliable software and ensure that customers can reliably access content and APIs.
Your day-to-day
Administer and troubleshoot the team's AWS environment, including but not limited to EC2, Lambda, storage, networking (VPC, DNS/Route 53, transit gateway, security groups), monitoring, and deployment pipelines.
Design and build APIs and integrations (AWS API Gateway) that wire internal threat-intel platforms, third-party threat feeds, and LLM services into the tooling suite.
Develop and deploy the web front-ends analysts use to generate and deliver intelligence (React / Node.js; Fuse), including dashboards, report/deck generators, and detection tooling.
Maintain and develop enhancements to the headless CMS-based customer threat intel portal, its underlying database (PostgreSQL and Elastic Search) infrastructure, and micro-frontend (Fuse/React)
Write Python services (FastAPI) for data processing, report and detection-rule generation, and workflow automation.
Model and query data across PostgreSQL and Elastic Search and support headless-CMS-backed content workflows.
Partner directly with analysts to identify manual, repetitive intelligence tasks and turn them into automated, maintainable products.
Keep the platform secure, observable, and well-documented. You own reliability, troubleshooting, QA, and security for what you ship.
Tech stack
Languages: Python, JavaScript (React/JSX)
Cloud: AWS — Lambda, API Gateway, IAM, Secrets Manager, CloudWatch, ALB/VPC
IaC: Terraform / Terramake
CMS: dotCMS
API/Auth: REST APIs, custom authorizers, JWT / API keys
Domain: Threat intelligence / IOC feeds (STIX, MISP, CSV)
Tooling: Git, CI/CD, AWS CLI
What you bring to the team (required)
2-5 years of professional software engineering experience and are comfortable delivering and operating production systems with minimal supervision. We are open to candidates around the 2-year mark, but this is not an entry-level role.
Hands-on AWS administration: EC2, Lambda, storage, networking, monitoring, and troubleshooting.
API development and integration experience; AWS API Gateway preferred.
Front-end development with React and Node.js, ideally including Fuse (or a comparable React application framework).
Proficiency in Python.
SQL and relational database experience, preferably PostgreSQL.
Ability to learn new systems and domains quickly and work independently across the full stack infrastructure, backend, and front-end.
Nice to have
Micro front-end development and deployment.
ElasticSearch.
Experience with headless CMSs (e.g., dotCMS, Payload, Strapi, or Contentful).
MCP (Model Context Protocol) server development.
Containerization (Docker), CI/CD, and infrastructure-as-code.
Familiarity with cybersecurity or threat-intelligence concepts as you'll work shoulder-to-shoulder with analysts, so curiosity about the domain goes a long way (you don't need to be an analyst yourself).

Software Developer Jobs in Arizona: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a software developer in Arizona?
Software development in Arizona does not require a state-issued license, so the path centers on education and demonstrated skills. Most Arizona employers expect at least a bachelor's degree in computer science or a related field, though strong portfolios and recognized credentials such as AWS certifications or CompTIA Security+ can carry significant weight. Arizona State University and the University of Arizona both offer well-regarded computer science programs that feed directly into the state's technology hiring pipeline.
How much do software developers make in Arizona?
Software developers in Arizona earn a median of about $129,690 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $81,740 for the lowest 10% to over $178,500 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire software developers in Arizona?
Employers hiring software developers in Arizona right now include Speechify, CVS Health, and Raytheon, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Arizona's concentration of aerospace, semiconductor, and financial services firms means demand for software developers remains broad and relatively consistent throughout the year.
Which Arizona cities have the most software developer jobs?
Phoenix, Tucson, and Scottsdale have the most software developer openings in Arizona. The Phoenix metropolitan area, which includes Tempe and Scottsdale, drives the majority of demand through its dense cluster of technology campuses, financial services headquarters, and defense contractors, while Tucson contributes a steady stream of openings tied to the University of Arizona's research partnerships and regional aerospace employers.
Are there remote software developer jobs in Arizona?
Yes, and more than most fields. About 77% of software developer openings tied to Arizona are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, reflecting the desk-based and project-driven nature of the work. Roles in web application development, cloud infrastructure, and software quality assurance tend to carry the most remote flexibility, while positions involving embedded systems or on-site hardware integration are more likely to require an in-person presence.
How can I get hired as a software developer in Arizona with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is landing a junior or associate software developer role after completing a degree or an accredited coding bootcamp. Arizona State University's career center and Maricopa Community Colleges' workforce programs connect early-career candidates directly with Phoenix-area technology employers. Intel and Honeywell both run structured internship and new-graduate programs in Arizona that regularly convert to full-time positions. Building a public portfolio of projects on GitHub and earning a cloud certification such as AWS Cloud Practitioner meaningfully strengthens applications for candidates without professional experience.
Where can I find and apply to software developer jobs in Arizona?
