Head of Engineering

About the role

We're hiring a Head of Engineering to own and scale ThreatAware's Product Engineering function — backend, frontend, and QA. You'll report to the CTO, partner with the Chief Architect, and build the team that ships our AI-powered next chapter. If you've scaled engineering orgs before and you're happiest when great software is going out the door, this is the role.

Why ThreatAware?

ThreatAware gives security teams a single source of truth for every device and tool in their organisation. 150+ integrations, deploys in under 30 minutes, real-time visibility across entire IT estates. Finance, legal, energy, healthcare — they trust us to show them what's protected and what isn't.

Now we're building something bigger. Six years of accurate cyber asset data, and we're layering AI on top of it — new ways for security teams to interrogate their data, automate workflows, and act on risk before it becomes a problem. The engineering team you build will be the one that delivers this.

What you'll do

Build the engineering organisation, then run it.

• Hire and grow backend (C#/.NET), frontend (TypeScript), and QA teams as we scale significantly.

• Set technical direction with the Chief Architect and CTO — architecture decisions that let us ship fast without breaking things for enterprise customers running 50,000+ device estates.

• Own delivery end-to-end: planning, pipelines, quality gates, release cadence.

• Coordinate with DevOps on infrastructure and R&D on applied research that feeds into the product.

• Be the voice of engineering across the business — what we're building, what it takes, and when it ships.

What we're looking for

• You've scaled an engineering org and built the structures to make it work.

• Strong technical instincts — you're not writing code daily but you know when something's off.

• A bias for shipping, tempered by good judgement about where the line is.

• Experience in SaaS, cybersecurity, or infrastructure software.

• You're as clear talking to the board about timelines as you are talking to engineers about systems design.

• Bonus: you've built AI-powered products or worked with research teams.
