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.

Right now, we’re looking for an Engineering Manager to lead our Moonlock Lab team that helps take Moonlock to the next level. The team develops security threat protection instruments that protect 20+ millions of MacPaw users worldwide. 

What we do:

• examine recent virus samples, look for ways to detect malware by its behavior, and outsmart the developers of malicious programs;
• promote MacPaw`s cybersecurity brand through publications and lectures.

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.
