Full description
At Automox we are on a mission to revolutionize how organizations harden and secure every endpoint across their organization. To do this, we’re building a massively scalable, cloud-native solution to protect hundreds of millions of enterprise endpoints globally.
As companies face continually growing threats and a rapidly expanding attack surface, understaffed and alert-fatigued organizations need more efficient ways to eliminate their exposure to security vulnerabilities. Automox is a modern cyber hygiene platform that closes the aperture of attack by more than 80% with just half the effort of traditional solutions.
Automox enforces OS & third-party patch management, security configurations, and custom scripting across Windows, macOS, and Linux from a single intuitive console. IT and SecOps can quickly gain control and share visibility of on-prem, remote and virtual endpoints without the need to deploy costly infrastructure.
In this key leadership role, the Chief Architect will report directly to the Chief Product Officer. You will work closely with the senior leadership team to get a 360 view of industry trends, customers’ POV, and Automox’s team and culture. You will lead the design and implementation necessary to tackle one of the largest scale challenges yet to be solved in endpoint security.
WHAT YOU WILL DO
- Influence the architecture and scalability of the Automox platform to support 100's of millions of endpoints in the future.
- Architect and design our cloud analytics platform to be highly performant and scalable to support hundreds of thousands of enterprise customers concurrently.
- Mentor and guide engineers, lead design discussions, prove out concepts through prototypes to release into production.
- Collaborate with engineering and product leadership to set the technical direction and strategy of our product and platform.
- You are a thought leader with an entrepreneurial mindset.
- You drive architectural decisions, plans, goals and strategies highlighting short-term trade-offs vs. long-term commitments.
- Partner with Engineering leaders to drive efficient software development practices.
- Customer value is a key driver to the success of your work.
- Your technical "chops" should be such that you build proofs-of-concept yourself or direct others to do so based on your designs.
- Proven ability to lead and influence large distributed product development efforts.
VALUES
- Entrepreneurial spirit that embraces challenges and constantly questioning the status quo
- Be willing to ask hard questions with a result-minded outcome.
