We are seeking a visionary engineering leader to drive the evolution of a large-scale Security Risk Management (SRM) platform, enabling vulnerability analysis and remediation across global enterprise environments. In this strategic role, you’ll design and implement cutting-edge distributed systems, empower high-performing teams, and define technical standards for scalability, observability, and performance in security-critical environments. You’ll collaborate with senior engineering and product teams to create solutions that empower both developers and security professionals to seamlessly integrate secure practices into their workflows. This is an exceptional opportunity to shape the future of application security at scale and lead impactful, AI-driven innovation in the DevSecOps domain.

Accountabilities

• Provide strategic and technical leadership to define the SRM architecture, ensuring robust performance, scalability, and reliability across large, distributed systems.
• Design real-time data processing pipelines capable of handling complex vulnerability data from thousands of repositories and millions of commits.
• Oversee storage decisions for massive security datasets, optimizing performance, cost, and retention across multiple database paradigms.
• Champion a culture of engineering excellence through distributed systems design, observability standards, and fault-tolerant architecture.
• Collaborate closely with Product, UX, and Design teams to translate advanced technical capabilities into intuitive, enterprise-ready solutions.
• Mentor senior engineers, foster technical growth, and instill high standards for architectural decision-making.

• Proven expertise in designing and managing high-throughput, low-latency systems with complex data structures.
• Strong knowledge of modern data technologies — PostgreSQL, Cloud Spanner, graph and time-series databases, and distributed key-value stores.
• Hands-on experience with container orchestration (Kubernetes), event-driven architectures, and stream processing frameworks such as Kafka or Flink.
• Deep understanding of application security, vulnerability management, and static or dependency analysis workflows.
• Demonstrated success in leading large, high-performing engineering teams and transforming technical culture.
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to convey complex technical ideas to both executives and engineers.
• A track record of solving large-scale technical challenges through systems thinking, innovation, and collaboration.

• Competitive salary package, equity plan, and comprehensive health benefits.
