Backend Team LeadManagement

About the Role

As Backend Team Lead, you'll own the delivery, growth, and culture of the backend engineering team.

You'll stay technical and hands-on, while your primary lever shifts from personal output to team output. The systems you're responsible for collect, process, and

remediate vulnerability data from millions of endpoints across the world's largest enterprises. Reliability and scale aren't features - they're the baseline.
