About the Role: The Falcon Cloud Security team is looking for a hands-on Engineering Manager / Team Lead to lead the development of Agentic Workflows — a transformative initiative aimed at automating complex security operations using AI-native agents. You will lead a team of talented engineers while remaining deeply technical, helping architect and build autonomous systems that don't just alert but actively reason, investigate, and remediate security risks across multi-cloud environments. As a player-coach, you will help shape the "brain" of our cloud security platform, guiding both the people and the technology that leverages large-scale data and AI-driven logic to help customers discover misconfigurations, prioritize risks, and automate defensive actions at scale.
What You'll Do:
- Lead & Grow a Team: Manage, mentor, and develop a team of backend engineers, fostering a high-trust, high-performance culture. Conduct regular 1:1s, support career growth, and drive hiring to scale the team.
- Stay Hands-On: Remain an active technical contributor — designing, reviewing, and writing production-quality code alongside your team. Lead by example and maintain a strong engineering presence.
- Design & Architect: Drive backend engineering efforts to build autonomous agentic frameworks, guiding the team from rapid prototypes to large-scale production applications.
- Develop Core Logic: Contribute to and oversee the development of decision-making engines and workflows that allow security agents to interact with cloud APIs (AWS, Azure, GCP) and internal data streams.
- Data Integration: Guide the development of high-performance data integrations and streaming services (Kafka) to feed real-time security data into agentic models for continuous reasoning.
- Scale Systems: Architect and oversee distributed systems capable of processing billions of security events to provide actionable posture intelligence and automated remediation.
- Drive Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with Product, Design, and peer engineering teams in a "startup-like" environment to define and deliver new platform capabilities with speed and quality.
- Raise the Bar: Champion engineering excellence, new technologies, and best practices across the team and broader engineering organization.
The Technology Stack:
- Languages: Go (Golang), Python, Java
- Cloud: AWS, GCP, Azure, and Kubernetes
- Data & Streaming: Kafka, Apache Spark, Opensearch, Cassandra, Redis
- Infrastructure: Docker, Git
What You'll Need:
- Experience: 8+ years of backend engineering experience, with at least 2 years in an engineering leadership role (Tech Lead, Staff Engineer, or Engineering Manager). Strong proficiency in Go and Python.
- People Leadership: Demonstrated ability to hire, mentor, and develop engineers at varying levels. Comfortable balancing technical contribution with team management responsibilities.
- AI/LLM Experience: Prior experience building workflows powered by LLMs, RAG, or autonomous agents. Strong understanding of agent frameworks and key components including model integration, tool calling patterns, and Model Context Protocol (MCP).
- Cloud Expertise: Deep knowledge of at least two major cloud providers (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
- Systems Engineering: Strong understanding of distributed systems, scalability, concurrency, and resilient architecture.
- Data Proficiency: Solid experience with data modeling, RDBMS (SQL), and distributed caching solutions like Redis.
- Education: BS/MS in Computer Science or equivalent professional experience in data structures and algorithms.
Bonus Points:
- Cybersecurity Background: Experience in threat detection and response, identity management (IAM), data security, or cloud security posture management.
- Big Data: Experience with analytical databases and petabyte-scale data processing.
- AI-Native Tools: Familiarity with Loveable, Replit, MCP, n8n.
