Manager I, Engineering - Cloud SIEM Threat Hunting

Cloud SIEM is a fast-growing security product that helps organizations detect and respond to threats within their cloud infrastructure. It provides real-time visibility into cloud security events and alerts, enabling organizations to quickly identify and respond to potential threats. As the Engineering Manager, you will be tasked with driving the development of the Cloud SIEM Threat Hunting in charge of a co-pilot experience purpose-built for advanced security teams. This experience will rely on AI agents that proactively hunt threats and reactively create detection rules to improve customer's security posture. Working closely with the other Cloud SIEM and Security product teams, the Engineering Manager will play a key role in ensuring the product's success, by setting the technical directions of the team, and partnering closely with Product and Design Managers.
