Cybercrime is growing, and more businesses are getting hit by threats that used to target only the biggest organizations. That pushes defenders like us to operate at the highest level, and it deepens our need for good people who want to make a meaningful impact.

Founded in 2015 by former NSA cyber operators, the company is a remote-first team working to make enterprise-grade cybersecurity accessible to businesses of all sizes. We work closely with security teams and service providers protecting complex environments, often without the time or headcount to handle it all. That’s why we build our technology in-house and back it with a 24/7 human-led Security Operations Center (SOC).

As a result, our platform is never disconnected from the experts who manage it, ensuring our customers' protection.

the company now secures more than 5M endpoints and 14M identities worldwide. Those numbers keep growing because more businesses rely on us to help carry the load and operate with more confidence. Every day, you can see that commitment in how we stand with our customers and how we show up for each other.

the company seeks an experienced leader to elevate our platform engineering teams and deliver the underlying foundation for purpose-built products that protect the 99%. In this role, you’ll be responsible for teams that develop our product platform, which powers our 5 (soon to be 6 and beyond) industry-leading security products. We’re seeking a passionate, inclusive engineering leader who can bring state-of-the-art engineering practices and deep experience in developing teams and people to accelerate our next growth phase.

You will lead multiple teams of high-performing engineers, equipped with the latest AI tooling.

At the company, we work with low walls between disciplines because we believe good ideas are everywhere and the best products come from teams working to deeply understand our customers, experiment, and validate our products.
