Own the engineering strategy and roadmap for cloud security proactive & runtime protection across cloud providers, Container Security, serverless.
Lead development of innovative, low-latency security solutions that process data from millions of deployed sensors operating in highly sensitive environments.
Drive deep technical work across:
Cloud provider coverage, from assets to advanced risks, and attack paths
Containers, functions, and modern cloud-native assets
Kubernetes internals and orchestration
Runtime detection, telemetry, and threat prevention
Partner closely with Product Management to translate customer and market needs into scalable, high-impact security capabilities.
Build, mentor, and retain world-class engineering teams, including senior technical leaders and emerging talent.
Establish a strong engineering culture centered on technical excellence, quality, security, performance, and operational rigor.
Collaborate cross-functionally with Engineering peers, Product, Sales, and Customer-facing teams to ensure product success and adoption.
Play a key role in organizational growth through hiring strategy, team structure, and leadership development.
Communicate effectively in a remote-first environment, ensuring alignment and velocity across globally distributed teams.
