About The Role

The team is looking for a Senior Engineering Manager to manage the Engineering Team responsible for its Attack Surface Management platform. The ASM platform is a growth product for the organization and relies on a world-class architecture to provide customers the most real-time solution in the industry. The ability to correctly map internet entities (hostnames, IP addresses, etc.) to the correct organization is the foundation of the ASM platform and will require someone who has both deep internet knowledge and experience to build highly scalable distributed system services. Furthermore, familiarity with AI/ML concepts and their practical applications is crucial for bringing innovative AI experiences into the platform.

This is a technical, hands-on management role that can hit the ground running and work closely with peers, quickly supporting the team managed. Engineers need a manager that will push them to self-organize, to grow technically, to grow professionally, and to be there to help them remove roadblocks.

Key Responsibilities
