Engineering Manager, Delivery Team
About The Position
At runZero, we're a team of dreamers and creative thinkers who aren't afraid to shake up the status quo. Fixing what’s broken with legacy vulnerability management and overcoming persistent, decades-old problems requires a new approach. Our platform provides a single source of truth for exposure management across the total attack surface. Without requiring agents, authentication, or appliances, runZero delivers the most complete and accurate visibility into every asset and exposure across internal, external, IT, OT, IoT, mobile, and cloud environments — including uncovering unknown and unmanageable devices and broad classes of exposures that evade traditional tools. Founded by HD Moore (creator of Metasploit), runZero is trusted by more than 500 companies and 30,000 users worldwide to find and mitigate risks faster, meet compliance requirements, and improve overall security.
