About the Role:

This is a Senior Manager position leading our Streaming Search team. The role is open to either full-time remote work or one of our office locations.

You'll be leading a team that designs and builds a high-throughput system to partition, filter, query, and join streaming data at the scale of over three trillion events per day. Customers of this system rely on your team's work to generate everything from high-quality training data for large-scale machine learning models to actionable leads that threat hunters can use to track down malicious actors—all to fulfill our core mission of stopping breaches. You'll be managing an agile, distributed team of collaborative engineers who work on all aspects of the system from cloud and datacenter architecture down to low-level performance tuning of event handling and everything in between. If you enjoy building and leading high-performing teams, making strategic technical decisions, and tackling hard problems that don't have well-defined solutions, then you'll fit right in.

  • Oversee the design, development, and maintenance of a streaming platform that processes petabytes of data

  • Lead technical reviews of products and guide the development of new features and stability enhancements

  • Drive continuous improvement in service efficiency to delight our customers

  • Spearhead research and implementation of new ways for both internal stakeholders and customers to query their data efficiently

What You'll Need:

  • 5+ years of engineering management experience, preferably leading teams building distributed systems

  • Strong technical background with experience designing, building, and operating scalable streaming systems

  • Deep understanding of distributed system architecture and performance optimization

  • Ability to work with geographically distributed team

  • Excellent communication skills and ability to translate complex technical concepts to various audiences
