About the role

Original posting from Safe via Lever

Most boards and executives are currently flying blind when it comes to cyber risk. They are guessing. At Safe, we’ve built an AI-driven engine that finally gives the C-Suite a clear, quantified, and real-time view of their security posture. We don’t just provide data; we provide certainty.

We are a $170M Series C-funded category leader. We don’t play in the mid-market; we operate at the highest levels of global enterprise. Today, we are proud to serve 10% of the Fortune 500, protecting global icons such as Apple, Netflix, AT&T, Verizon, and Victoria’s Secret.

As we scale toward our next chapter, we are looking for high-performers who want to do the best work of their careers at the intersection of AI and Cybersecurity.

The Culture Memo: Our Operating System

Safe is not a typical corporate environment. We are a high-intensity, mission-driven team. We value builders who want to define a category and work alongside people who are equally committed to excellence.

Extreme Ownership: We don’t do "not my job." We hire people who see a gap and own the solution from start to finish.

The Elite Standard: We serve the most sophisticated companies on the planet. Our work must be bulletproof. Whether it’s a line of code or a sales deck, we aim for Tier-1 quality every time.

Methodology & Rigor: We don’t wing it. From Force Management and MEDDICC in sales to data-driven sprints in engineering, we rely on proven frameworks to stay disciplined and predictable.

Radical Candor: We move too fast for politics or sugar-coating. We value direct, honest feedback that helps us find the right answer quickly.

The Series C Hustle: We have the stability of a well-funded leader but the heart of a startup.

The Perks & Ownership:

We want our team to feel like owners because they are owners. We trust our people to manage their results and their time.

Meaningful Equity: Every "Safestar" is a shareholder. You aren’t just an employee; you are a partner in our success.

Unlimited Leaves: We don’t believe in clock-watching. We offer unlimited leave because we trust you to take the time you need to recharge while staying committed to the mission.

Comprehensive Benefits: We provide top-tier medical insurance and wellness benefits to ensure you and your family are well cared for.

Career Trajectory: We are growing aggressively. For high-performers, the path for advancement moves at the speed of your ambition.

Job Overview:

As an Engineering Manager, you will: 

Lead talented engineers by providing technical guidance, mentorship, delivery ownership, and strategic direction.

Contribute to solving complex scale, architecture, data, and AI-driven product problems.

Collaborate closely with Product, Design, Platform, DevOps, Security, and other engineering teams.

Help design and build core product features aimed at predicting, quantifying, and preventing cyber breaches.

Drive modern engineering practices, including AI-assisted coding, effective usage of tools like Cursor / GitHub Copilot / LLMs, and practical application of LLM-based systems such as RAG, agents, prompt engineering, and evaluation frameworks.
