Mentor and empower engineering managers and technical leads; promote a culture of innovation, accountability, and continuous improvement.
Attract, hire, and retain top engineering talent with a focus on diversity, collaboration, and growth.
Establish and measure key engineering KPIs and operational metrics.

Work closely with enterprise customers, security teams, and solution architects to understand evolving identity threats and compliance needs.
Ensure product solutions align with industry standards (e.g., NIST, MITRE ATT&CK) and integrate well with modern identity ecosystems (e.g., Okta, Azure AD, Ping).
Qualifications
10+ years of progressive experience in software engineering with at least 3+ years in an engineering leadership/director role.
Proven experience in Identity Security, Threat Detection, Security Operations, or related domains.
Demonstrated success in leading teams that deliver enterprise-scale SaaS or hybrid security solutions.
Strong technical background in backend systems, cloud architectures (AWS, GCP, or Azure), and cybersecurity tools.
Deep understanding of identity systems (IAM, SSO, MFA), SIEM/SOAR integrations, and threat intelligence.
Exceptional communication and cross-functional leadership skills.
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience).
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with ITDR frameworks and tools.
