Requirements
This role requires deep experience leading platform engineering or infrastructure product organizations at scale, ideally within enterprise or security-focused environments. The ideal candidate brings strong technical fluency across distributed systems, cloud and on-prem architectures, Kubernetes, and enterprise deployment models including air-gapped environments. You should have extensive experience building platforms adopted across multiple product lines, with a proven ability to influence without authority and drive cross-functional alignment. Strong understanding of enterprise security concepts such as SSO, RBAC, multi-tenancy, and auditability is essential. Experience with file security domains (such as content inspection, malware detection, or related technologies) is highly valuable. AI-first leadership experience is critical, including familiarity with LLM systems, agentic architectures, evaluation frameworks, and human-in-the-loop design. You should also bring strong business acumen, communication skills, and the ability to translate complex technical systems into executive-level strategy.
