About the Team

InsightCloudSec is Rapid7’s leading Cloud Security solution, which offers customers a fully-integrated set of tools to secure their cloud platforms in a single solution. Our customers use the product to identify and remediate cloud misconfigurations and risk across multiple areas, including CSPM, IAM risk, IaC scanning and vulnerability scanning. 

We’re focused on emerging threats, and keeping pace with the innovation delivered by Cloud Security Providers to ensure our customers stay secure.

 About the Role

As a Lead Software Engineer in our team, you’ll be part of the  Coverage & Analysis pillar, working on our most valuable part of the product. Our customers want to get coverage across as much of their cloud infrastructure as possible, and you’ll be working cross-functionally to help deliver this. You’ll manage a small number of engineers within the team, support the product management team on defining the roadmap to ensure we build what’s really important to customers, and engage the user experience team to help drive customer experiences and workflows. You’ll also have the chance to engage with our customers on a regular basis, and get feedback on what problems they’re facing day to day as they continue to adopt cloud technologies.  

You’ll join the team in Belfast to support the expansion of our workload protection coverage across major cloud service providers and kubernetes, solving complex problems so our customers can focus on remediation of the risk they face.

Outside of your team, you’ll contribute to the wider InsightCloudSec architecture and engineering direction, and also to the broader Rapid7 engineering community. 

In this role, you will:

• Lead in all aspects of our engineering as we grow the InsightCloudSec distributed platform, working continue to excite our customers

• Work with stakeholders, including Product Management and UX to shape features during design and planning, where you will provide technical direction for our product

• Ask questions! Getting involved in code and design reviews, helping to improve what we’re building. We love to collaborate

• Directly manage a small number of junior engineers and help grow their skills, identify growth areas, set expectations and provide feedback

• Help shape our architecture. We’re continuing to evolve our SaaS platform, and you’ll be involved in initiatives as we scale it, making sure it solves our customers needs

• Be a mentor and a leader. Share your experience across the team to help others learn, and inspire your peers to do their best. You’ll also expect the same back from your team

• Code, code, and more code!

The skills you’ll bring include:

• You - a self-motivated, collaborative, high-energy, experienced engineer

• Experience with modern front end technologies. Our stack includes React, Typescript, JavaScript, NodeJS, Python, Go, Angular and AngularJS - hosted in AWS. We don’t need you to have experience with all of this, just a willingness to get stuck in!

• Experience for collaborating with back end engineers to cocreate solutions using an API-driven approach

• While it’s not essential, a bonus would be knowledge of cloud computing platforms (such as AWS, GCP and Azure) and/or cyber security.

We know that the best ideas and solutions come from multi-dimensional teams. Teams reflecting a variety of backgrounds and professional experiences. If you are excited about this role and feel your experience can make an impact, please don’t be shy - apply today.
