Objectives of This Role


* Delivery commitments met by a team operating at a pace it can sustain


* An engineering bar held through direct review of design and code


* A stated direction for AI-native capability in the security organization, revised as the technology and the demand change


* Engineers whose capability and scope grow measurably under this management

We are seeking a Manager to lead the engineering team that builds, evaluates, and operates AI-native security capabilities, and to set the direction for what that organization becomes.

This role manages individual contributors across all three functions and carries delivery accountability for the program.

What you'll achieve:

This is a technical management role.

The manager reviews designs, reads code, and judges engineering decisions directly rather than through status reporting.

Delivery accountability at this level depends on knowing whether an approach is sound before the schedule shows that it was not.

The role also holds the forward view: what AI-native capability the security organization will need, which of it should be built rather than adopted, and what the team must become to build it.

That direction is expected to be written down, defended, and revised as the technology changes.

You will:


* Manage, coach, and develop individual contributors across build, evaluation, and operations, including performance management, career development, and compensation decisions


* Hire into a market where the skills are scarce and claims are inflated, including an interview process that separates production experience from familiarity


* Set and hold the engineering bar through direct participation in design review, code review, and technical debate, engaging on the substance of the decision


* Own delivery commitments for the program, including forecasting, allocating capacity across concurrent work, and reporting variance while it can still be acted on


* Make the build, adopt, and defer decisions for capability the team is asked to deliver, and state the reasoning behind each


* Resolve trade-offs between delivery speed and engineering quality explicitly, and state which is being traded, rather than leaving the schedule to decide by default


* Remove obstacles that engineers cannot remove themselves, across organizational, platform, and vendor boundaries
