Desirable

• We’re seeking an experienced Engineering Manager to lead our Cloud Attack organization across AWS, Azure, Kubernetes, OCI, GCP, and emerging AI-driven environments
• In this role, you’ll oversee a team responsible for designing, validating, and scaling offensive capabilities within the NodeZero platform targeting modern cloud and enterprise systems
• You’ll operate at the intersection of offensive security, engineering, and product, driving both hands-on technical direction and strategic execution
• This leader will ensure our cloud attack capabilities reflect real-world attacker tradecraft while remaining production-safe, high-signal, and impactful for customers
• Lead and grow a team of Attack Engineers specializing in cloud providers, container orchestration platforms, and AI systems (AWS, Azure, OCI, GCP, Kubernetes)
• Set technical direction, priorities, and quality standards for cloud offensive capabilities
• Mentor engineers and raise the bar for offensive rigor, delivery quality, and customer-facing clarity
• Drive hiring and organizational scaling as the Cloud Ops team expands
• Own offensive strategy across:
• AWS, Azure, OCI, GCP and multi-cloud environments
• Kubernetes and container ecosystems
• Identity, access, and enterprise platform layers
• AI/LLM-integrated systems
• Guide development of end-to-end attack methodologies:
• Discovery → exploitation → privilege escalation → lateral movement → impact → verification
• Ensure NodeZero capabilities are realistic, production-safe, and aligned with modern attacker tradecraft
• Partner with Product and Design to translate field insights into prioritized roadmap input and productized capabilities
• Create tight feedback loops between real-world attack findings and platform evolution
• Help define next-generation attack surfaces across cloud and AI systems
• Oversee high-impact customer engagements and technical briefings
• Ensure clear articulation of exploitability, business impact, and remediation
• Contribute to external content such as blogs, demos, and thought leadership where appropriate
