Job summary

Cyera is hiring a Security Engineering Manager to lead the team building the platforms that power our security program, including log pipelines, SIEM, and AI-assisted tooling.

You will own architectural direction for cloud security in AWS, guide detection and automation initiatives, mentor engineers, and partner with Security Operations to translate incidents into engineering priorities. This is a hands-on leadership role.

Qualifications

• 5+ years in security engineering, cloud security or detection engineering at senior/lead level.
• Experience leading, mentoring, or managing engineers.
• Hands-on with LLM-based or agent-based workflows and AI-assisted development.

Responsibilities

• Own the architecture and roadmap for the security platforms and make and document the major design decisions.
• Set the security architecture for our AWS environment: identity guardrails, logging and monitoring, and posture management.
• Own the detection-as-code framework and the automation and agent tooling the SOC depends on.
• Build and run the platform behind our fleet of security agents: tooling and integrations, permissions and guardrails, evaluation and logging, and the reliability of the whole system.
• Run design and code review and define engineering standards for testing, infrastructure as code, and observability.
• Translate escalation patterns and incident findings into an engineering roadmap with the Security Operations Team Lead.
• Take the hardest technical problems yourself, with AI-assisted development as the default way of working.
• Represent Security Engineering to security leadership, R&D, and IT, and make the case for investments with data.
