Security Engineering Team Lead

Cyera is hiring a Security Engineering Team Lead to lead engineers building and operating the platforms that support its security program. The role sets technical direction and owns architecture and roadmaps across security engineering, while partnering with Security Operations and remaining hands-on.

Responsibilities:

• Lead, coach, and develop the Security Engineering team; set priorities, run the engineering cadence, and build career paths
• 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

Requirements:

• 5 or more years in security engineering, cloud security, or detection engineering, including senior or lead-level work
• Experience leading, mentoring, or managing engineers
• Hands-on experience building LLM-based or agent-based workflows and the tooling around them, and using AI-assisted development as a normal part of engineering
• Experience owning the design of security platforms at scale: log pipelines, detection frameworks, cloud security controls
• Deep knowledge of AWS security architecture, IAM, organizations and guardrails, and security services
• AWS Security Specialty or Solutions Architect Associate, or equivalent demonstrated depth
• Strong Python and infrastructure as code, with a record of shipping production systems
• Writes clear design documents and explains technical trade-offs to leadership
• SSPM and SaaS integration security at scale
• FedRAMP, SOC 2, or ISO 27001
• AWS Security Specialty, AWS Solutions Architect Professional, CISSP, or similar
