§The role

You will run engineering across emulation, agents, identity, and surfaces. The bar is extreme talent density and a weekly cadence of customer-visible wins.

§What you'll do

  • Grow a team of ~30 engineers across DC and Tel Aviv.
  • Own architecture, roadmap, hiring, and delivery against classified customer milestones.
  • Partner with the CEO and CTO on what to build next.

§Who we're looking for

  • You've led cyber R&D orgs before — at a unit, a primes shop, or a frontier lab.
  • You still write code. You still read diffs.
  • Top secret clearance or clearance-eligible, U.S. person.
