Kenna Security is revolutionizing cyber risk with a SaaS-based platform that uses data science to combine vulnerability data with exploit intelligence to measure risk, predict attacks and prioritize remediation. We are leading the way in helping enterprises reduce their risk while increasing their efficiency and preventing attacks. Kenna Security was recently named one of the top 10 hottest start-ups and named to the Inc. 500 fastest growing companies list.

About You

We’re looking for a QA Manager to jump into testing new and improving existing features with an eye towards a well-tested, secure and performant product. If you’re comfortable in working within a highly autonomous, agile, and iterative software development process; Kenna might be the fit for you! This position is an opportunity for a Manager to join a growing engineering team and contribute to the maintenance, expansion, and scale of the Kenna platform. Engineers are expected to take ownership of technical problems, craft solutions to complex problems, and test code that meets our internal standards for maintainability and best practices. Our applications are widely used across the industry and your work will be used by millions of people every month. 

About Us

There are a lot of security companies out there, but no one is doing what Kenna is doing: giving our customers the ability to measure their risk landscape and truly protect their environments from the ever-present threat of a breach. As a result, we’re seeing phenomenal growth as some of the top companies in the world flock to our platform. We have solid venture funding, an astonishing team who will support you to accomplish the impossible, and we even offer great benefits and stock options.

What are some of the interesting problems you'll be working on:

  • Own the quality of the full product suite, fully internalizing the business and product strategies in order to define quality standards that appropriately judge risks to the business.
  • Partner with the head of DevOps to design and implement a robust CI/CD pipeline (right now Amazon Web Servers but transitioning into containers and Infra as Code). CircleCI for deployment. 
  • Work closely both within and across departments - including CX, support, product and others - to define and implement a strong quality process across the company, not just for dev teams.
  • Define a strategy for hiring and maintaining world class software testing talent.
  • Act as player/coach, jumping into teams when necessary to assist with story creation, manual and test automation, quality coaching, etc. This is a hands-on job.
  • Ensure key quality metrics are gathered and reported in order to assist in organizational decision making

What does it take to work at Kenna:

  • BA/BS degree in Computer Science or closely related field
  • 12+ years in QA, including time as both a manual and automation tester
  • 5+ years of management experience
  • 3+ years building and leading QA departments interfacing with multiple engineering and external teams
  • Heavy expertise on a modern CI/CD pipeline with completely ephemeral environments, where testing is 95%+ automated
  • Experience leading a QA department for a startup or small company going through the maturation process
  • Experience with some or similar of: Ruby, Rails, Capybara, Rspec.
  • Experience with UNIX-based operating systems. 

At Kenna you can enjoy the following:
