Seeking a technical leader for my new company

We have a new way to measure security effectiveness, and want someone who’ll drive to delivering the technology to customers, while building a great place for developers to ship and deploy important technology. We are very early in the building of the company. The right person will understand such a “green field” represents both opportunity and that we’ll have to build infrastructure as we grow.

This person might be a CTO, they might be a Chief Architect. They are certainly an experienced leader with strong references from peers, management and reports.

Lead on:

  • Product development & delivery including service, platform, statistics
  • Technology platform decisions (full stack from OS to UI frameworks)
  • Product quality including security & reliability
  • Technology process & culture which values effective collaboration
  • Tech hiring aligned with budget

Qualifications:

  • Early startup leadership experience (must have early experience, for example one of the first 50 employees)
  • Shipped at least one product from concept stage (must)
  • Big data/data science product/service experience (must)
  • Outstanding communication skills – both technical and interpersonal (must)
  • Gets hands dirty
  • UI & Design thinking (should)
  • Seattle location is ideal

We’re an equal opportunity employer, and welcome applicants from diverse backgrounds, except rock stars. We want great folks with humility, empathy and a desire to learn and grow as they help our customers measure security.
