SECURE ADVANCEMENT FOR ALL - This is the central guiding principle for each member of the Rapid7 team: “What more can we do to help all of us live in a more secure world?” With new technologies and environments seeming to emerge every day, keeping our networks secure has become more challenging, and more critical, than ever before. As a software engineering manager on the Boston InsightIDR team, you’ll be a hands-on participant leading a smart, passionate team dedicated to this mission.

What You’ll Be Building

InsightIDR is a cloud-based, microservice-designed architecture built with the mandate to ingest, monitor, and analyze log data from an organization’s environment in real time in order to raise the alarm if and when attackers hack their way into their network. In security terms, we are committed to providing Blue Team defenders the best tools in the industry to detect and respond to attacks. We’ve achieved a lot - InsightIDR is already acknowledged as a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for our industry - but the threat landscape is always evolving, and we must continue to grow and improve our product along with it.

Our microservices are built on top of AWS technology designed to scale horizontally as our data processing requirements continue to grow. You’ll be working at scale from the start. We are a successful product with heavy adoption, so any code we deploy will immediately be responsible for handling massive amounts of data from the moment it is turned on. And you’ll be deploying a lot: our CI/CD tools deliver new features into production multiple times a day; our Slack channel for release notifications is never quiet.

Our Terraform-described stack is mostly Java-based built over various data persistence and queue technologies, such as SNS/SQS, Kafka, ElasticSearch, MySQL-flavored RDS, Cassandra, MapReduce, and Athena.

 

What You Should Bring

To be a good fit for our team as a Manager of Software Engineering, you should have:

  • A demonstrable passion for the craft of software development

  • Interest in remaining a hands-on programmer for the next few years as you learn and contribute to the architecture of the system

  • A history demonstrating a team-based approach to problem solving

  • Experience defining contracts for coordinating development of software projects across multiple teams

  • A strong sense of ownership and responsibility for the quality of the software you create

  • At least 6-10 years of experience in software development, including active or recent Java experience

  • At least 1-3 years of team lead experience with successes you can describe, leading your team through full life cycle software development

  • Experience or interest in taking on a team of software engineers as direct reports, serving as their mentor and guiding them in their own career development

  • Passion to collaborate with our wider teams (e.g. product, UX, support) to think strategically about how to solve problems for our users

  • Empathy for our users and the Rapid7 mission

Even better if you have:

  • Interest and/or experience in the security industry

  • Interest and/or experience in cloud-based architecture

  • Experience with Spring and/or SpringBoot

We value diversity in our team and we are eager to accept applications for our engineers across all backgrounds and life experiences.

An Insider's view of Rapid7

What does your typical day look like?

For the majority of the day it’s a mix of weekly check-ins with various teams, project updates, and the occasional brainstorm.

When I’m not in meetings I’ve got headphones in while planning, writing, or designing — at my desk or perched somewhere around the office.
