Software Engineering Tech Lead - Data & Cyber

We are looking for an Engineering Tech Lead to join our Cloud and Platform Security team. In this role, you will translate complex, ambiguous business and security challenges into scalable, well architected data solutions. You will set technical direction, manage engineers, and partner closely with security, product, and platform stakeholders to ensure our data systems are secure, reliable, and built for scale.

• Define and drive the technical strategy and roadmap for security engineering within the Cloud and Platform Security domain
• Architect end to end data pipelines and platforms that support security telemetry, compliance reporting, and risk analytics
• Establish engineering standards, best practices, and patterns for data ingestion, transformation, storage, and access control
• Own key technical decisions and trade offs, and communicate them clearly to both engineering and non technical stakeholders

• Partner with security, engineering, product, and compliance teams to deeply understand complex business and security problems
• Break down ambiguous, multi faceted challenges and translate them into actionable, well scoped technical solutions
• Drive discovery and requirements processes - asking the right questions to surface the real problem before jumping to solutions

• Lead and actively contribute to the design, development, and delivery of scalable data infrastructure on cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, and/or Azure)
• Build platforms that handle high volume security event data (logs, alerts, audit trails, telemetry) with reliability and low latency
• Ensure data quality, observability, and governance are first class concerns across all systems

• Mentor and grow a team of engineers - through code reviews, design discussions, and ongoing technical coaching
• Foster a culture of engineering excellence, accountability, and continuous improvement
• Act as a trusted technical advisor to cross functional partners, representing the team in architectural reviews and strategic planning discussions

• Experience in software engineering, with at least 2 years in a tech lead or people manager role
• Proven ability to take complex, ambiguous business problems and synthesize them into clear, elegant at scale technical solutions
• Demonstrated experience building data products that deliver actionable insights or guidance to end users - not just pipelines for pipelines' sake
• Deep experience building and operating large scale platforms in cloud environments (AWS, GCP, or Azure)
• At least 7 years' relevant experience would generally be expected to find the skills required for this role
• Preferred:
  • Experience building developer facing security tooling or platforms that guide application teams toward better security outcomes
  • Familiarity with vulnerability management data (CVEs, CVSS, EPSS) and how to apply it in prioritization models
  • Experience in a security domain such as Cloud Security, Platform Security, AppSec
  • Hands on experience with cloud native services
  • Hands on experience with data engineering at scale
  • Background working in regulated industries or with compliance driven data requirements
