As an Engineering Manager you will lead our ML Security team as we build security products including bot, agent, and human fraud and abuse detection. You will execute roadmaps, iterate on current and new products, and drive team growth while working with research, product, and tech leads. Engineering Manager roles are hands on and highly technical here: while you won't be coding every day, you are expected to review code/PRs, act as a tech lead when required, and mentor engineers in your areas of expertise.

Using AI: Coding agents are indisputably useful tools. We provide access to the top 3 models, and were early adopters of evals-first development flows. Familiarity with coding using agents is part of all interviews. However, reliability and correctness are critical for us.
