**Job description**

Following the planned departure of our previous CTPO, we are reshaping technology leadership at the top: a hands-off CTPO supported by three hands-on VPs (Security \& Infrastructure, Engineering and Product). As CTPO, you own StrangeBee's multi-year technology and product vision and translate it into organizational clarity and reliable delivery, through the leaders you build, not through individual execution. You report to the CEO and lead a technology organisation of \~70 people.

This is a defining role at a pivotal moment: StrangeBee is scaling its product, its team, and its ambition, and you will shape the next chapter.

*** ** * ** ***

**Responsibilities**

* Define and drive the multi-year technology and product strategy, in close alignment with the CEO and Revenue leadership

* Build and lead the tech executive layer: VP Engineering, VP Product, VP Infrastructure \& Security, and Head of AI report directly to you

* Set the strategic technology direction for TheHive and Cortex, scalability, security, and reliability goals for enterprise clients, while the VP Engineering owns architecture and execution

* Pilot the resolution of significant technical debt and major migration projects through your VPs, with clear metrics and accountability

* Shape and grow our AI capability via a Head of AI (player-manager over a small AI engineering team): a product AI roadmap and the adoption of AI across our internal ways of working

* Act as an external voice for StrangeBee: speak at industry conferences, engage with the security community, and contribute to our thought leadership

* Serve as a key member of the Leadership team and Comex

**Key results for the first 6 months**

* A consolidated diagnostic of technical debt, migration, and security risk, with reliable baselines (measured, not estimated)

* VP Engineering and VP Product onboarded with written, non-overlapping scopes; and Head of AI scoped and pipeline opened

* A multi-year technology and product roadmap arbitrated with the CEO and Revenue

* Evidence that N-1 leaders can restate the strategy in their own words and connect it to current work

*** ** * ** ***

**Requirements**

* Experience as a CTPO, VP Engineering, or equivalent exec role in a B2B software scale-up serving enterprise clients

* Strong grounding in cybersecurity, through domain expertise or sustained exposure to security products and customers

* A history of scaling engineering and product organisations through rapid growth

* Experience steering technical-debt and migration programmes without halting delivery

* A visible presence in the tech or security community

* Excellent communication skills in English

* Comfortable in a lean, bootstrapped environment where pragmatism matters as much as vision

*You might feel hesitant to apply if you don't match 100% of the requirements. This list is a guide, we encourage you to apply even if you are a partial match. We are building teams that innovate, not teams that simply tick every box**.*

**What we offer**

* Up to €180K base salary depending on experience

* Performance-based variable component

* Hybrid working from Paris

* A real mandate to shape an organisation and leave a mark

**About us**

StrangeBee is a European cybersecurity software company specializing in Incident Response.

Founded in 2018 by the creators of TheHive and Cortex, StrangeBee was built on the success of these tools that quickly became widely adopted within the cybersecurity community. What started as open-source initiatives evolved into enterprise-grade solutions trusted by organizations worldwide.

Today, TheHive is recognized as a leading incident response platform, empowering thousands of security analysts to detect, investigate, and respond to cyber threats efficiently.

StrangeBee now operates as a fully commercial software vendor, focused on delivering robust, scalable, and continuously evolving solutions tailored to the needs of modern security teams.

Our ambition is clear: strengthen our product ecosystem, meet the fast-growing demands of the cybersecurity market, and establish StrangeBee as a global leader in incident response platforms.

We are growing fast and we're looking for people who want to grow with us.

**Why join us**

At StrangeBee, you won't just join a company, you'll help shape a growing European cybersecurity leader.

What makes us different is not only what we build, but how we build it.

**Customer Centric**

Everything we do starts with impact. We build for real security teams facing real threats. We listen carefully, challenge assumptions, and aim to deeply understand the "why" behind every need. If you care about delivering meaningful value, not just shipping features, you'll feel at home here.

**Quest for Excellence**

"Good enough" is not our standard. We continuously question how we work, how we collaborate, and how we improve our product. Excellence for us means rigor, accountability, and pride in craftsmanship, whether in code, sales conversations, customer support, or internal processes.

**Embrace Change**

Cybersecurity evolves constantly, so do we. We encourage initiative, ideas, and constructive challenge. If you see something that could be better, you're expected to speak up and help drive improvement. Change is not something we endure; it's something we actively shape.

**One Team**

We believe performance comes from trust. We foster open communication, mutual respect, and psychological safety. Everyone's voice matters, and collaboration goes beyond titles or departments. We succeed together.

Joining StrangeBee means working in an environment where ownership is real, standards are high, and impact is visible, while being part of a team that genuinely supports each other.
