Technical Group Engineering Manager - Cloud Security Platform

Hybrid Role- 3 days in Belfast office required - Distributed Systems - Northern Ireland

We’re proud to be working exclusively with a high-growth cloud security company that established its Northern Ireland engineering hub less than two years ago. Since launching locally, the team has grown rapidly and is now entering a major scale-up phase following significant investment earlier this year.

As part of ambitious growth plans through 2026 and beyond, we’re hiring a Group Engineering Manager to lead multiple backend and infrastructure engineering teams working on the core cloud security platform.

This is a rare opportunity to take on a senior technical leadership role in a fast-scaling global engineering organisation, while helping shape the future of a strategically important Belfast engineering hub.

The Opportunity

In this role, you’ll lead teams solving technically complex, real-world problems every day building innovative new capabilities while continuously improving and scaling existing systems.

You’ll work closely with engineering leadership, product teams, and platform specialists to deliver high-scale distributed systems operating across AWS, GCP, and Azure.

The organisation operates in a modern, cloud-native environment and encourages strong engineering ownership. Teams are responsible for systems end-to-end from architecture and development through to deployment, observability, and ongoing optimisation in production.

The platform integrates deeply with the major cloud providers and leverages technologies such as:

Despite being relatively new locally, the business is already:

Well-funded
Commercially proven
Scaling globally
Backed by significant investment

This is a rare opportunity to join early in the growth journey, while benefiting from strong financial backing and clear product-market fit.

Experience operating large-scale production systems

Strong technical leadership and mentoring ability

Ability to balance strategic thinking with hands-on technical guidance

Nice to have:

Experience working on cloud security platforms

Strong Linux systems knowledge

Experience with observability, reliability engineering, or performance optimisation

Experience scaling engineering teams during rapid growth

What It’s Like to Work Here

This is a high-trust, collaborative engineering culture. The Site Lead describes the team “like a band - everyone plays their part.”

Staff Software Engineer

Full Stack | Product Engineering | High Ownership Environment

My client is building a team of engineers who don’t just design systems, they own them end to end, collaborate deeply, and deliver real product outcomes.

This is not a role for someone who sits at 30,000 feet.

They are looking for engineers who can move between architecture, collaboration, and hands on delivery without losing depth in any area.

The Opportunity

You will operate at Staff level within a fast paced product environment, working across backend and frontend systems to deliver scalable, user facing solutions.

You will be expected to:

Drive technical direction while staying close to the code
Work closely with Product, Design, and Engineering to shape solutions
Operate in ambiguity and bring others along with you
Deliver outcomes, not just ideas

This is a high trust, high expectation environment where strong engineers thrive.

What You’ll Be Doing

Designing and building scalable, production grade systems across frontend and backend
Leading technical discussions while actively collaborating with peers and stakeholders
Translating requirements into pragmatic, well structured solutions
Writing clean, maintainable code and contributing to shared codebases
Balancing speed, simplicity, and scalability in your approach
Mentoring engineers and raising the bar across the team
Contributing to a culture of ownership, clarity, and continuous improvement

What We’re Looking For

Strong experience building end to end systems, not just one layer
Solid grounding in APIs, data modelling, and system design
Ability to move from high level thinking into implementation detail
Comfortable writing code without over reliance on AI tools

Collaboration and Communication

Able to clearly explain your thinking and bring others along
Strong experience working with cross functional teams
Demonstrates real ownership, not just contribution
Comfortable operating in live problem solving environments

Execution

Strong time management, able to scope and deliver within constraints
Avoids over engineering and focuses on pragmatic solutions
Can adapt rather than forcing previous architectures onto new problems

Red Flags for This Role

This environment will not suit engineers who:

• Stay too high level and avoid implementation detail
• Rely heavily on AI tools without understanding the output
• Struggle to collaborate or communicate clearly
• Over engineer or fail to prioritise effectively
• Cannot demonstrate hands on coding ability when needed

Tech Environment

• Modern frontend frameworks such as React
• Backend services and APIs such as Node or Java
• Cloud native architecture, AWS preferred
• Microservices, data driven systems, and distributed architectures

Why Join

• Work on real product problems with visible impact
• Join a team that values clarity, collaboration, and ownership
• High autonomy with strong engineering standards
