About the role
- Architect the platform that democratizes detection. Lead the engineering vision that makes enterprise-grade threat detection accessible to every organization, regardless of size or sophistication
- Transform community intelligence into scalable systems - build the infrastructure that turns collective knowledge into real-time protection for all
- Bridge the gap between innovation and reliability. Deliver cutting-edge AI capabilities while maintaining the rock - solid stability that security teams demand
- Champion engineering excellence as a force multiplier and create the culture and processes that turn great engineers into an unstoppable team
- Pioneer the intersection of AI and security to push the boundaries of what's possible when machine learning meets threat detection at massive scale
- Build the technical foundation that becomes the backbone of modern cyber defense
- You see systems, not just code - you understand that great engineering is about architecting solutions that scale technically, organizationally, and culturally
- You're a builder of builders - you don't just write great code; you create environments where engineers do their best work and grow into leaders themselves
- You speak fluent business and technical - you can seamlessly translate between board - level strategy and implementation details, making complex decisions simple

- You have battle tested experience - you've scaled systems from thousands to billions of events, and teams from startup to scale - up
- You're obsessed with impact - you measure success not in lines of code, but in threats stopped and customers protected
- Background in security infrastructure, malware analysis, threat detection, or high - scale telemetry systems - you've lived in the world where every millisecond matters and false positives are as dangerous as false negatives
- Experience with large - scale data pipelines, ETL, or continuous scanning infrastructure - you've built systems that process billions of events without breaking a sweat
- Familiarity with detection logic (YARA, Sigma), binary analysis, or reverse engineering workflows - you understand the language of threat detection and can bridge the gap between security researchers and platform engineers
- Track record of building customer - facing APIs or developer platforms with high adoption and integration complexity - you know what it takes to create APIs that developers love and enterprises trust
- Comfortable balancing short - term wins with long - term architectural decisions - and communicating those tradeoffs clearly to everyone from engineers to board members
