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.

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.
