Our take: The real work here is setting engineering direction for nine distributed teams building AI-powered security scanners and remediation flows, and growing the managers who deliver them, mostly through clear writing.
You will lead nine distributed engineering teams building the security scanners, AI detection engines, and agentic remediation flows that help customers find and fix vulnerabilities across their software. This is a role for someone who loves setting technical direction across a big surface, growing engineering managers, and making hard trade-offs between precision, recall, and scale, all in the open through writing rather than meetings. If you care about application security done properly and want your decisions to reach millions of users, this is a place to do it.
