This hands-on leadership position involves mentoring senior engineers and setting high standards for reliability, security, observability, and responsible AI delivery.

Responsibilities

Responsibilities

• Lead the architecture, implementation, testing, rollout, and operation of high-scale distributed systems, APIs, services, data pipelines, platform components, and security product capabilities.

• Own multi-quarter, multi-team initiatives end to end, from ambiguous product, customer, and security requirements through design, execution, launch, observability, and production support.

• Architect for reliability, scalability, low latency, multi-tenancy, fault isolation, backpressure, graceful degradation, data consistency, and operational visibility.

• Design and operate security-sensitive product capabilities at scale, including identity boundaries, authorization and policy controls, auditability, threat signals, secrets handling, compliance controls, and secure integration points.

• Establish agentic-first engineering workflows for planning, prototyping, debugging, refactoring, test generation, documentation, code review, and delivery while maintaining clear human accountability.

• Build or integrate production AI/agent workflows, including tool use, RAG, agent harnesses, evaluation suites, workflow orchestration, AI observability, guardrails, and LLM-backed experiences.

• Define engineering quality and operational standards across automated testing, CI/CD, deployment automation, release readiness, incident response, post-incident follow-up, and documentation.

• Apply secure-by-default and responsible-AI practices across identity, access control, secrets handling, dependency hygiene, data protection, threat modeling, secure code review, and AI safety controls.

• Partner with product, architecture, security, operations, data, and platform teams to translate broad goals into technical roadmaps, tradeoff decisions, and executable plans.

• Mentor senior engineers, lead design reviews, serve as a technical escalation point, and define standards for maintainable, supportable, production-grade software across teams.

Basic Qualifications

• 12+ years of software engineering experience, or equivalent Senior Staff / Principal-level impact, including ownership of business-critical production systems.

• Demonstrated ability to lead multi-team architecture, make high-judgment technical tradeoffs, and influence engineering direction without relying on direct reporting authority.

• Strong programming ability in one or more languages such as Java, Python, Go, C++, Rust, or TypeScript, with the ability to dive deeply into unfamiliar codebases.

• Proven experience designing and operating distributed systems, cloud services, SaaS platforms, data systems, or infrastructure services at scale.

• Hands-on experience building or operating large-scale security products or security-sensitive cloud platform capabilities, such as identity and access management, authorization or policy engines, secrets or key management, audit/compliance, threat detection, vulnerability management, data protection, or cloud security posture.

• Deep knowledge of system design, APIs, data modeling, concurrency, asynchronous processing, failure modes, consistency tradeoffs, performance analysis, and production troubleshooting.

• Experience with cloud platforms, containers or Kubernetes, CI/CD, observability, automated testing, deployment automation, SLOs/SLIs, on-call practices, and operational readiness.

• Hands-on use of AI-assisted and agentic development tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, Cursor, Codex, Claude Code, or similar systems.

• Practical experience with LLM and agent patterns such as prompt engineering, structured outputs, RAG, tool/function calling, agent frameworks, harnesses, evaluations, guardrails, or workflow automation.

• Strong security judgment, communication skills, and technical leadership across secure coding, dependency management, data privacy, incident-aware engineering, and cross-team execution.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience building high-scale, low-latency, high-availability, multi-tenant distributed systems and defining architecture across team or organizational boundaries.

• Experience delivering enterprise security products at cloud scale, including security analytics, zero-trust, identity, compliance, data protection, vulnerability management, or developer security platforms.

• Experience with agentic AI platforms, LLM evaluation, AI observability, AgentOps/LLMOps, guardrails, tool orchestration, Model Context Protocol, or developer productivity tooling.

• Experience in regulated, enterprise, healthcare, cloud infrastructure, data platform, or security-sensitive environments, with a track record of mentoring senior engineers and raising engineering standards.
