About Mimecast
Mimecast is a leading cybersecurity company that helps organizations protect their people, data, and communications from today's most sophisticated threats. With over 42,000 customers worldwide, we analyze more than 18 billion security events daily to stop attacks before they cause harm.
We are pioneers in Human Risk Management, recognizing that people are both an organization's greatest asset and its most significant security vulnerability.

This is a hands-on engineering leadership role at the heart of Mimecast's Email & Collaboration Threat Protection platform. Our mission-critical infrastructure processes over 1.7 billion emails every day for more than 42,000 enterprise customers worldwide, and keeping it fast, reliable, and secure is non-negotiable.
Reporting to the Director of R&D for Email & Collaboration Threat Protection, you will lead one or more engineering squads directly, with accountability for delivery, engineering quality, and the health and growth of your team.

You will stay close to the engineering, own the delivery of your squad's roadmap, and hold a high bar on quality and reliability at massive scale. We operate with a sense of urgency. Cyber threats don't wait, and neither do we. You'll lead a team that moves fast, makes decisions with conviction, and delivers results.
