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:

Golang
Java
Kubernetes
Docker
eBPF
Large-scale distributed systems

This is not a traditional management role it’s a hands-on technical leadership position, where you’ll guide engineering teams solving meaningful problems that directly impact global customers.

The Role

As Group Engineering Manager, you will:

Lead and grow multiple backend and infrastructure engineering teams

Help define and deliver the technical roadmap for key platform services

Support engineers and engineering managers through mentoring, coaching, and career development

Drive architectural decisions across distributed systems and cloud infrastructure

Ensure high engineering standards around reliability, performance, and scalability

Partner closely with product and platform teams to deliver high-impact features

Support incident response, operational excellence, and service reliability

Help scale the engineering organisation while maintaining a strong technical culture

You will play a key role in building systems that operate in highly dynamic, large-scale production environments.

About the Company

This is a modern cloud security company focused on protecting customer infrastructure through deep runtime visibility and contextual system insights.

Unlike traditional security tooling, the platform uses runtime data and low-level system instrumentation to identify real threats, prioritise risks, and automate responses across complex cloud environments.

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.

Technology Environment

You’ll be working with a genuinely modern stack including:

Cloud: AWS, GCP, Azure
Languages: Golang, Java, Python
Platform: Kubernetes, Docker, eBPF
Data & Messaging: Neo4j, Elasticsearch, Redis, TimescaleDB, RabbitMQ
Architecture: Microservices, distributed systems

What We’re Looking For

Proven experience leading engineering teams or engineering managers

Strong background in backend engineering, distributed systems, or cloud infrastructure

Experience building or scaling systems in cloud-native environments

Strong programming background (Golang, Java, Python, or similar)

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.”

You’ll work alongside some of the strongest engineers in the local market in an environment where:

Engineering leaders remain technically engaged
Teams own problems, not just tasks
Technical excellence is valued
Engineers are trusted to make decisions
There is ambition - but also balance

Salary & Package

Base salary up to £150k
Equity
Private healthcare
Flexible / hybrid working

High-autonomy engineering culture

This is an opportunity to make a real leadership impact during a period of major growth, while helping build one of the most technically ambitious engineering teams in the region.

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

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

Backend Software Engineers (Golang / Java)

Hybrid Roles | Cloud Security | 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 to 30 engineers and is now entering a major scale-up phase following a $250 million investment secured in January.

As part of ambitious growth plans through 2026 and beyond, we’re hiring multiple Backend Software Engineers (Golang / Java) to join their expanding backend engineering group.

The Opportunity

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

You’ll operate in a modern, cloud-native environment and have genuine ownership over what you deliver, from early architectural design through to deployment, monitoring, and long-term optimisation in production.

The platform integrates deeply with AWS, GCP, and Azure, and makes heavy use of technologies such as:

• Golang
• Java
• Kubernetes
• Docker
• eBPF
• Distributed systems at scale

This is not a “ticket factory” role it’s an engineering-first environment where you’ll solve meaningful problems that directly impact global customers.

Unlike traditional tools, the platform leverages runtime insights and eBPF-powered sensors to identify and prioritise real risks enabling customers to detect threats, reduce risk exposure, and respond automatically at scale.

Despite being under two years old locally, the business is already:

• Well-funded
• Commercially proven
• Scaling globally
• Backed by serious investment

It’s a rare opportunity to join early - but with strong financial backing and clear product-market fit.

• Experience building data-intensive or distributed systems
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines
• Familiarity with microservices architectures
• Strong analytical thinking and ownership mindset

Nice to have:

• Experience writing or working with eBPF
• Strong understanding of Linux internals, networking, or filesystems

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.”

You’ll work alongside some of the strongest engineers in the local market, in an environment where:

• Engineers own problems, not just tasks
