Engineering Manager, Code Security Analysis

At Lacework, we strive to provide a supportive, collaborative environment where people are empowered to do the best work of their careers.

Our team members enjoy solving complex problems, big sky thinking, and obsess over getting the details right—all while building bonds of teamwork and friendships that last a lifetime. We love what we do and are proud of our work to secure clouds and container environments for thousands of users worldwide.

The Lacework Code Security platform enables developers to scan their code repositories in order to identify potential misconfigurations against security best practices before they reach the production environment. Our platform aims to reduce the number of security vulnerabilities created during the development phase, thereby reducing the cost of fixing these in production. Lacework Code Security platform provides meaningful and actionable results in order to fix any highlighted issues. We are working to support a larger and larger range of recommended best practices to deliver a secure, reliable application deployment experience as well as ensuring production infrastructure, deployed using Infra-Structure as Code, is secure as far left as possible in the DevOps life-cycle.
