Since 2008, MacPaw has been creating complex technology and packaging it into Mac apps everyone can use. And as cyber threats started looming over the Apple ecosystem, they became a special focus of our work, leading to the creation of Moonlock - MacPaw's dedicated cybersecurity division.

Engineering Managers at MacPaw lead the engineering teams by planning and managing the development processes to deliver quality product solutions. They also constantly work on strengthening the team`s technological expertise through individual and teamwork.
So in this role, you'll lead a driven team and ensure collaboration across research, reverse engineering, threat intelligence, development, and Moonlock Lab's public efforts.
