  1. Collaborate to develop the technical strategy for the next generation of our Cloud Security and Cloud Detection & Response capabilities leading our company to new heights in market leadership.
  2. Drive broad use of large language models and machine learning to process security data and give our customers the best security insights in the most efficient way possible.
  3. Dig into our most critical engineering challenges, working with leaders and stakeholders across teams to develop the best solutions to serve our customers.
  4. Partner closely with engineering leaders across Rapid7 to ensure an aligned overarching platform strategy in support of all of our products.
  5. Engage directly with customers to understand their needs, incorporate their feedback, and remove points of friction from their product experience.
  6. Set the bar for operational excellence in engineering, supporting resilience, performance, and quality initiatives across the organization.
  7. Support the growth and skills development of technical team members across the organization to create a thriving culture for both individual contributors and team success.
  8. Reinforce the engineering team’s focus on scalable development, testing and deployment processes to maintain and improve product reliability, scalability and performance.
  9. Bring an informed technical perspective to organizational roadmap planning and customer commitments.


The skills you’ll bring:

  1. Technical Expertise: Proven track record of designing complex enterprise-class software at scale; experience with a wide variety of programming languages, environments, and platforms; experience with high scale use of large language and machine learning models.
  2. Strategic Vision: Strong facility with following and synthesizing strategic trends in your industry, and dynamically setting course as required to ensure that the engineering team enables the company to respond to those trends and the resulting customer needs.
  3. Collaboration: Ability to engage closely with customers and to influence cross-functional product management, support, strategy and other areas to ensure alignment on the priorities of the engineering team to promote customer success.
  4. Results Oriented: Proven history of building high-scale, quality products/platforms in a fast-paced, continuous deployment environment.

What else?

  1. 10+ years of leadership as an engineer at the highest levels of leadership, with ownership of core architecture of large, complex systems at scale for SaaS/Cloud-based products.
  2. 5+ years of leadership and engineering experience in Cloud Security SaaS.
  3. Track record of direct customer engagement, with ability to tailor collaboration to the appropriate level of technical depth.
