  • Own team delivery and productivity: planning, milestones, reviews, and the on-call rotation
  • Set product direction with Product Management and balance priorities across App & API Protection, Workload Protection, and Code Security
  • Stay technically close to the work — apply strong technical judgment, contribute code where it matters most, and keep quality and architecture high
  • Build strong relationships and drive alignment across the language teams and product, backend, and frontend partners
  • Shape team identity and culture, and own accountability when problems occur

Qualifications

  • Experience managing a team of engineers — setting direction with Product Managers, owning a backlog, and running delivery
  • A senior software-engineering background with strong technical judgment
  • A track record developing people: coaching, direct feedback, and helping engineers, both senior and struggling, grow
  • Strong cross-team communication, comfortable driving alignment across many stakeholders
  • Experience building libraries, SDKs, developer tooling, or systems/run-time software
  • Pragmatic product-engineering experience — you’ve worked with Product Managers and weighed technical trade-offs against customer impact
