In this founding-level role, you will own architecture, delivery, quality, and team scaling end-to-end. • Own the technical direction across the AI platform and physical appliance lines. Establish rigorous release cadences, robust versioning, and pristine UAT/production environment separations. • Oversee the data path for passive monitoring, industrial protocol decoding (e.g., Modbus, S7Comm, IEC 60870-5-104), and MITRE ATT&CK mapping. • Drive appliance hardening, TPM-based device identity, full-disk encryption, and compliance acceleration tooling across frameworks like IEC 62443 and ISO 27001. • Lead, and rapidly scale a high-performing, distributed global engineering team. Desired Candidate Profile • 10 15+ Years of Engineering Excellence: A proven track record of leadership where you have owned delivery and organizational growth, not just architecture. • Strong roots in OT/ICS security OR a heavy enterprise detection/security background (e.g., CrowdStrike, Palo Alto, SentinelOne) with a strong command of industrial protocols. • Thrives in a lean, fast-paced environment where your impact is direct and your mandate is broad. • Applied AI or on-device, resource-constrained GPU inference experience. • A background in SIEM, detection engineering, or SOC tooling. • Familiarity with sovereign deployment requirements or critical infrastructure environments.
