If you’re looking for meaningful work, smart teammates and the chance to make a real impact in a high-growth company that’s redefining security operations, Arctic Wolf is the right place for you! 

Our mission is simple: End Cyber Risk. We’re looking for a Team Lead to be part of making this happen.    

About the role

Arctic Wolf Networks, Inc. (AWN) is seeking a Team Lead within our Software Development Support (SDS) organization. This leadership role sits at the intersection of Support, Product, and R&D—owning outcomes for complex, escalated customer-facing issues and ensuring clear prioritization, resourcing, and timely resolution across teams.

You will lead, coach, and develop SDS engineers to solve hard problems across software, infrastructure, and cloud environments. You will set priorities, unblock the team, and ensure disciplined execution—driving cases to resolution through root-cause analysis, clear decision-making, and, where appropriate, enabling the team to contribute or coordinate code changes and partner fixes.

You will own the escalation program’s outcomes—defining intake paths, SLAs, and handoffs; partnering with Product, R&D, Support, and Problem Management; and continuously improving processes, observability, and automation so customer-impacting issues are rapidly diagnosed, prioritised, and driven to closure.

• Recruitment: Lead recruitment efforts for their team(s) for both full-time and co-op employees.

Qualifications

• Scripting and automation (PowerShell, Python, Bash, Ruby)
• Databases and data platforms (MS SQL, MySQL, Athena, Databricks)
• Containerized environments (Docker, Kubernetes)
• Ticketing and collaboration tools (Zendesk, Jira)

• May include moving or lifting 25 pounds or less (e.g., office chair, reams of paper).
