Product Manager

StackHawk helps software developers find and fix security vulnerabilities before they deploy code to production. Every modern software development organization has shifted from quarterly releases to daily or hourly releases, incorporating Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI / CD). In the modern world of FinTech, HealthTech, cloud analytics and AI platforms, customers are entrusting their most critical data to software providers. Periodic manual security testing by an external team is simply too risky. Because of this, modern software development organizations are extending CI / CD to encompass Continuous Application and API Security Testing. This way, security can "shift left," meaning vulnerabilities can be detected while the developer is actively working on the code.

StackHawk leads the market in developer first API security testing. Application and API security is an exciting market, where more than 43% of global decision makers are looking to implement dynamic application security testing during software development, which represents a massive opportunity for StackHawk. StackHawk is building out a team of leaders and team members that will capitalize on market pull, and enable growth-phase scale of the business.

StackHawk is on a mission to empower AppSec and development teams to proactively discover and fix vulnerabilities in APIs and applications before code reaches production.
