The Opportunity

My client is expanding their Enterprise Security product line and are looking for a technical leader to build and scale the engineering team behind it. This group develops the security capabilities that enterprise IT leaders rely on to approve, deploy, and trust our platform.

You'll lead the development of high-impact features such as data loss prevention, audit logging, SIEM integrations, encryption controls, and data governance capabilities. These products are directly tied to large enterprise deals and long-term revenue growth.

This role combines hands-on technical leadership with team building and product ownership. You'll shape the roadmap, define success metrics, and ensure we deliver enterprise-grade security features that meet the highest standards of reliability and compliance.


What You'll Own

Technical Direction & Delivery

  • Drive architecture and technical strategy for enterprise security products.

  • Contribute meaningfully to the codebase while guiding engineering standards and quality.

  • Deliver key roadmap milestones, including advanced DLP capabilities and real-time SIEM integrations.

  • Ensure security services meet strict uptime, compliance, and audit requirements.

Team Leadership & Growth

  • Build and develop a high-performing engineering team focused on enterprise security.

  • Establish clear ownership, execution standards, and performance expectations.

  • Create clarity in ambiguous spaces and guide the team toward measurable outcomes.

Product & Business Impact

  • Partner closely with Product to define and prioritize initiatives based on enterprise customer needs.

  • Align engineering efforts with adoption, deal velocity, and revenue impact.

  • Help shape Enterprise Security as a distinct and strategic product area within the broader platform.


What You Bring

  • Proven experience building enterprise security products for IT administrators and security leaders (e.g., DLP, SIEM integrations, audit systems, access controls, encryption, compliance tooling).

  • Strong understanding of enterprise buyers, compliance requirements, and the operational expectations of security products.

  • 5+ years of hands-on software engineering experience, ideally in modern web stacks (Node.js/TypeScript, React, or similar).

  • 2+ years of experience managing and mentoring engineers, with a history of delivering complex, high-impact systems.

  • Comfort operating in high-visibility environments where reliability and trust are non-negotiable.

  • Experience leveraging AI tools to accelerate development workflows or a strong interest in adopting them.

  • Excellent remote collaboration skills, with experience leading distributed teams through clear documentation and async communication.


Nice to Have

  • Experience working with enterprise compliance frameworks such as SOC 2, FedRAMP, or GDPR.

  • Familiarity with integrations across enterprise security ecosystems (e.g., SIEM platforms and monitoring tools).

  • Background in companies evolving from SMB-focused offerings to enterprise-scale solutions.
