Job description

Discover the Company

Our client is a high-growth, venture-backed cybersecurity pioneer that builds sovereign AI platforms and hardware appliances to protect global critical infrastructure and operational technology (OT) environments.

We are seeking an engineering leader to take over the entire engineering organization. In this founding-level role, you will own architecture, delivery, quality, and team scaling end-to-end.


Discover the Role

  • Own the technical direction across the AI platform and physical appliance lines. Establish rigorous release cadences, robust versioning, and pristine UAT/production environment separations.

  • Oversee the data path for passive monitoring, industrial protocol decoding (e.g., Modbus, S7Comm, IEC 60870-5-104), and MITRE ATT&CK mapping.

  • Drive appliance hardening, TPM-based device identity, full-disk encryption, and compliance acceleration tooling across frameworks like IEC 62443 and ISO 27001.

  • Lead, and rapidly scale a high-performing, distributed global engineering team.

Discover the Requirements

  • 10–15+ Years of Engineering Excellence: A proven track record of leadership where you have owned delivery and organizational growth, not just architecture.

  • Strong roots in OT/ICS security OR a heavy enterprise detection/security background (e.g., CrowdStrike, Palo Alto, SentinelOne) with a strong command of industrial protocols.

  • Thrives in a lean, fast-paced environment where your impact is direct and your mandate is broad.


Discover the Desired

  • Applied AI or on-device, resource-constrained GPU inference experience.

  • A background in SIEM, detection engineering, or SOC tooling.

  • Familiarity with sovereign deployment requirements or critical infrastructure environments.

If you are ready to own a mission-critical engineering function protecting the world's most vital infrastructure, we want to hear from you.
