Rapid7 was founded in 2000 to give customers transparency into vulnerabilities in their IT environments with a comprehensive vulnerability management solution, something that didn’t exist at the time. Now Rapid7 continues to deliver state of the art solutions for our customers’ security and IT challenges with a variety of products and our Insight platform: a cloud-based analytics platform that powers our products for vulnerability management, incident detection & response, offensive security, application security, and DevOps + IT operations.

As Rapid7 and the Insight platform continues to grow, so does our attack surface. Because of this, we’re looking for an awesome Platform Security Manager to join our Information Security team in Cambridge, MA. This engineering leader is the kind of person who wants to build a product security engineering function from the ground up. Also, have you ever wondered what it's like to work on a security team at a security company? Hint: it's kind of amazing.
