Director of Engineering, Threat Research at horizon3ai · LumiJobs

Responsibilities

As Director of Engineering, Threat Research, you’ll lead the engineering teams behind NodeZero Rapid Response and Threat Hunting products. Rapid Response turns emerging vulnerability and threat signals into fast, safe, customer-specific validation, helping customers understand what is exploitable in their environments and what to do next. Threat Hunting helps customers investigate whether the attack paths NodeZero discovered were already used: who got in, where they moved, and what they did.
You’ll own the engineering strategy, execution, and organizational health of both teams, while partnering closely with Product, Engineering, and customer-facing groups. You’ll also build a follow-the-sun vulnerability research capability for Rapid Response, with sub-teams in Europe and Asia, creating durable 24/7 coverage without sacrificing research rigor, production safety, or team health.
This is a people and portfolio leadership role. You’ll maintain enough technical depth to shape direction, raise quality, and unblock leaders while enabling managers and senior technical contributors to own implementation.
Location: Remote (US), leading distributed teams across the US, Europe and Asia
Organization Leadership & Strategy
Lead and develop the engineering organizations for Rapid Response and Threat Hunting, setting clear ownership, goals, operating expectations, and measurable outcomes.
Define a coherent engineering strategy and roadmap that connect customer needs, product priorities, security research, and durable engineering investments across both teams.
Build the leadership structure required to scale, including hiring, coaching, and developing engineering managers, technical leaders, and senior individual contributors.
Own organizational health: talent planning, career development, timely feedback, performance, retention, and succession planning.
Establish operating mechanisms that make priorities, delivery, capacity, dependencies, quality, and risks visible without adding unnecessary process.
Foster an inclusive, psychologically safe culture with high standards for technical rigor, accountability, collaboration, and learning.
