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 working with cloud platforms such as AWS, GCP, or Azure

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

You have experience of training large sequence models or LLMs at scale

You have a software engineering background with Python, also familiar with TypeScript and / or Golang

You have distributed systems / training ops experience including practical experience running multi-node jobs on GPU clusters (Slurm, Kubernetes, or managed cloud equivalents) and are familiar with GPU performance tuning: memory usage, mixed precision, throughput vs. latency tradeoffs

You have experience within a reinforcement learning environment

You’re collaborative with great communication skills

You are degree educated to BSc / MSc in a relevant discipline
