Engineering Manager

Who you are

• Familiarity with EDR or security operations sufficient to partner effectively with domain experts
• Proven experience leading highly technical backend or platform engineering teams — ideally within a SaaS, cybersecurity, or cloud-scale environment
• Track record delivering products under a fixed date, where requirements were ambiguous and scope had to be actively managed rather than assumed
• Strong dependency and stakeholder management across many engineering teams, with a habit of surfacing risks and tradeoffs early and in writing
• Understanding of security and reliability best practices in multi-tenant SaaS
• Experience partnering with a staff-level technical lead, with a clear sense of where management ends and technical ownership begins
• Ability to hold a quality or safety bar under schedule pressure, and to escalate scope tradeoffs rather than absorb them
• Familiarity with agentic or LLM-backed systems in production, and a realistic view of how they fail
• Background in security operations, detection engineering, or offensive security
• Experience leading a platform team whose customers were other internal engineering teams
• Exposure to event-driven architectures or streaming platforms (Kafka, Pulsar, Kinesis, Flink, or similar) What the job involves
• We're looking for an Engineering Manager to lead our EDR remediation team. NodeZero proves which attacks work in a customer's production environment. This team closes the loop — turning what we learn from offense into defensive action
• You lead a team of diverse skill sets and they work at different cadences and measure progress differently. Building an environment where those differences compound rather than collide is a central part of the job. You own hiring, growth, and how the team works together as it scales
• You partner closely with a staff-level technical lead who owns architecture, with Product on sequencing, and with engineering leaders across the organization. This is a highly technical leadership role for someone who has moved beyond hands-on coding but still has the depth to evaluate a design, challenge an estimate, and know when a team is stuck
• Lead, mentor, and grow a team of backend engineers and security practitioners with deep EDR expertise, with clear career paths for each
• Help the team turn EDR workflows into buildable requirements and usable product capabilities
• Partner with a staff-level technical lead who owns architecture, and with Product on roadmap and sequencing
• Translate ambiguous goals into sequenced, deliverable work, and manage scope actively rather than absorbing it
• Stay technically engaged enough to challenge assumptions and unblock the team, while creating outcomes through engineers rather than serving as the primary implementer
• Establish the operational discipline this work requires: design review, release practices, on-call, and incident response Benefits
• Growth Opportunities: Be part of a dynamic and growing team with numerous career advancement opportunities
• Innovation-Driven Culture: Work in a collaborative environment that encourages creativity and out-of-the-box thinking
• Flexible Work Environment: Enjoy the convenience and work-life balance that comes with remote work
• Inclusive and Diverse Team: We value diversity and promote an inclusive culture where everyone can thrive
