* Support incident response efforts by building ad‐hoc tools for threat hunting, remediation, and scanners.
* Build, monitor, and maintain underlying infrastructure, including Kubernetes clusters, serverless workloads, and ETL pipelines.
* Work with engineers to identify opportunities for automation and tooling development.
* Partner with product engineering teams to drive security outcomes — such as automation for patching and development of gateways and other services to decrease risk.
* Mentor and help grow other Software Engineers in the team.
Minimum Qualifications
* Prior experience leading or managing software engineering teams, including mentorship, career development, and performance feedback.
* Proven ability to translate business and security goals into execution plans, aligning roadmap, timelines, and engineering capacity.

* Experience with at least one scripting language (e.g., Python) and one systems programming language (e.g., Golang, C/C++).
* Experience with modern cloud infrastructure, including data pipelines, serverless workloads, and Kubernetes.
* Proven experience working autonomously on projects — delivering them to a high quality and on time.
* Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work effectively with both technical and non‐technical stakeholders.
* Ability to dive deep to find the best solution to a problem.
* Obsessive curiosity and a willingness to ask questions, gather context, and learn.
Preferred Qualifications
