Senior Engineering Manager – Endpoint

Role Overview

• Personally contribute to design, architecture, and implementation
• especially on the Mac/Windows platform build-out and the most complex cross-platform challenges.
• Write and review production-quality systems code in C/C++, C#, or Swift/Objective-C; actively participate in code reviews and set the quality bar by example.
• Own architecture decisions on agent design, kernel-userspace interaction, update safety, MDM deployment, and performance/security trade-offs across all three platforms.
• Lead design reviews
• not just as a reviewer, but as an author and key decision maker.
• Dive into customer impacting bugs, kernel panics, race conditions, or reliability issues alongside the team when it matters most.
• Lead, mentor, and grow a multi-platform team of 10+ endpoint engineers across Mac, Windows
• with active hiring underway for Linux.
• Own the full people management lifecycle: hiring bar-setting, onboarding, performance management, career development, and retention.
• Build a high-trust, high-accountability culture where engineers are empowered to own problems end-to-end and move fast without sacrificing reliability.
• Partner with recruiting to close senior Linux engineering talent, using your technical credibility to attract engineers who want to work for someone who gets it.
• Drive quarterly planning and sprint execution across all three platform teams, maintaining alignment on shared milestones and customer commitments.
• Remove blockers relentlessly
• technical, organizational, or cross-functional
• to keep teams shipping at startup velocity.
• Own end-to-end delivery of the Linux endpoint agent: from initial architecture through GA, coordinating across engineering, QA, security, and CS teams.
• Establish and track engineering health metrics: feature velocity, incident rates, agent reliability SLOs, and customer escalation trends.
• Serve as the primary engineering partner to the VP of Engineering, Product Management, and Security Research on endpoint strategy and roadmap.
• Represent endpoint engineering in customer escalations, security reviews, and enterprise prospect conversations
• with the technical depth to be credible in the room.
• Collaborate with QA to raise the bar on test coverage, MDM compatibility validation, and release confidence across Mac, Windows, and Linux.
• Translate field feedback from Customer Success and Solutions Engineering into prioritized, well-scoped engineering outcomes.

Requirements

• 10+ years of software engineering experience, with significant time spent in systems or endpoint engineering
• kernel-level, agent development, or OS-native APIs.
• 5+ years in an engineering management or tech lead role, with experience leading teams of 8 or more engineers
• but you have never stopped coding.
• Deep, demonstrable expertise in at least one of the three target platforms:
• macOS: Endpoint Security framework, system extensions, IOKit, or macOS VFS.
• Windows: WDF/WDM driver development, filter drivers, or user-mode security agents.
• Linux: eBPF (libbpf, BPF CO-RE), LSM hooks, fanotify/netlink, or kernel module development.
• Comfortable reading and writing production systems code in C/C++; experience with C#, or Swift is a strong plus.
• Proven ability to own complex technical problems end-to-end
• not just assign them
• while simultaneously managing a team.
• Experience debugging kernel-level issues: kernel panics, race conditions, memory corruption, or IPC failures using tools like lldb, WinDbg, kgdb, ftrace, or perf.
• Track record of hiring and retaining senior engineering talent; engineers want to work for you because you make them better.
• Startup DNA
• you define your own structure, move with urgency, and treat ambiguity as an opportunity rather than an obstacle.
• Experience in a security or enterprise software context; familiarity with DLP, EDR, or endpoint security products is a meaningful plus.
