Summary

Join Axonius and lead the Exposures Team in a critical new initiative, focusing on identifying, analyzing, and contextualizing vulnerabilities across complex environments. This hands-on leadership role blends cybersecurity, threat intelligence, and deep technical systems understanding. You will build detection capabilities, integrate with EDRs and other telemetry sources, and deliver insights to empower security teams. Guide the team in vulnerability analysis, detection logic, protocol parsing, and data enrichment, collaborating with data scientists, product managers, and platform engineers. Drive architectural decisions and work with security researchers and threat intelligence teams. This role requires hands-on coding, debugging, and validation, along with influencing the product roadmap. Axonius offers a unique opportunity to lead a strategic team at the forefront of vulnerability and exposure management.

Requirements

• 2+ years of experience managing a technical, hands-on engineering team

• Guide the implementation of logic and heuristics to detect protocol-level and software vulnerabilities (e.g., misconfigured services, outdated versions)
• Mentor and lead a team of engineers focused on deep system analysis, detection logic, and cyber domain expertise
• Drive architectural decisions in data enrichment, processing, and scalable detection pipelines
• Collaborate with security researchers and threat intelligence teams to feed emerging vulnerabilities into detection systems
• Be hands-on: write code, debug complex environments, and validate detections at the system level
• Participate in and influence the product roadmap related to Axonius’ exposures module
