This team is responsible for developing the Oligo sensor, which is deployed in customer environments to monitor their applications in real time for detecting and blocking cyber attacks in cloud environments. You will drive the development of innovative, scalable, and high-quality capabilities in our sensor, while maintaining low overhead and high performance.

You will:

• Oversee the development lifecycle of the team, including the design, implementation, testing, deployment, rollout and validation, ensuring our sensor remains enterprise-grade.
• Lead a team of low-level engineers, build efficient processes, provide mentorship to drive high performance, recruit strong talent, and ensure development velocity.
• Collaborate closely with research, engineering and customer-facing teams in Oligo, turning innovative security concepts into reality.
