Director of Engineering, AI Security

Leadership Responsibilities

• Build and lead a multi-team engineering organization for AI security, hiring and developing engineering managers, tech leads, and senior engineers.
• Serve as the single engineering owner for AI security, accountable opposite the product leader for what the organization ships and when.
• Grow the team across the US and Mexico while protecting quality, security rigor, and a strong engineering culture.
• Set engineering standards and ways of working, and represent the organization to senior leadership and customers.

What You'll Do

• Define and drive the engineering roadmap for Delinea's AI security platform, from discovering AI agents to controlling what they can do at runtime.
• Lead the teams building agent discovery and posture, agent identity and authorization, the AI gateway, and integrations with platforms such as Microsoft Copilot and Salesforce Agentforce.
• Own the key technical decisions, including the identity and authorization foundations the rest of the platform builds on.
• Ensure the organization builds on Delinea's shared platform services rather than duplicating discovery, identity, or enforcement.
• Partner with product, architecture, and field teams, and work directly with design and early customers to validate what you build.
• Scale the technology from early customer deployments to broad production use, at the reliability, correctness, and auditability a security product demands.

What You'll Need

• Typically 12 or more years in software engineering, with several years leading engineering teams, including leading other leaders or senior engineers.
• A track record of building and scaling engineering organizations and delivering complex backend or platform products to production.
• Strong technical depth in one or more of identity, authorization, cloud security, or distributed systems, enough to own architecture-level decisions.
• Experience owning a product or platform area end to end in close partnership with product management.
• Experience hiring, developing, and retaining engineers and managers.

What We'd Love to See

• Experience securing AI, agents, or large language model systems.
• Experience taking a new product from early customers to general availability.
• Experience handling and scaling data pipelines.
