Cerby is an identity security automation platform that helps organizations secure and automate access for applications that lack standard identity integrations. It provides credential management, single sign-on (SSO) and MFA for non‑SAML/OIDC apps, identity lifecycle automation without SCIM/APIs, privileged access management for disconnected apps, and centralized controls for enterprise social media accounts, integrating with existing IAM/IAG/PAM stacks.

📋 Description

• Manage a squad of engineers through regular 1:1s, structured feedback, and individualized growth plans. • Own performance management end-to-end: set clear expectations, deliver honest and timely feedback, run performance reviews, and address underperformance proactively. • Partner with engineers on career pathing—helping ICs grow toward senior, staff, or leadership roles based on their goals and the company’s needs. • Identify and close skill gaps through targeted development opportunities: training, mentorship, stretch projects, and learning programs. • Build and maintain psychological safety within the team—an environment where engineers speak up, take ownership, and learn from failure without fear. • Lead engineering hiring for your squad: define role requirements, partner with people, conduct structured interviews, and make hiring decisions. • Build a compelling candidate experience that reflects Cerby’s engineering culture and mission. • Proactively manage retention risk by understanding what motivates each team member and addressing concerns before they become attrition. • Own delivery predictability and team velocity: ensure the squad ships consistently against committed OKRs and sprint goals. • Optimize team rituals—standups, sprint planning, retrospectives—for efficiency, clarity, and continuous improvement. • Communicate team status, risks, and dependencies clearly and proactively to engineering leadership and cross-functional stakeholders. • Define and track team OKRs aligned with company and product goals, and report on progress with transparency. • Serve as the primary point of contact for engineering leadership and cross-functional partners on people and delivery topics.

🎯 Requirements

• 5+ years of software engineering experience, with a strong enough technical foundation to earn credibility with senior engineers. • 2+ years of engineering management experience, ideally in a high-growth or scaling environment (Series A–C preferred). • Demonstrated track record of growing engineers—promotions, career moves, skill development—not just shipping product. • Experience managing performance: supporting high performers and handling underperformance with clarity and care. • Strong hiring instincts: experience building interview pipelines, evaluating candidates, and closing competitive offers. • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills—able to represent the team upward and across the organization. • Comfortable working with ambiguity and making sound people decisions without perfect information. • Experience with agile development methodologies and a pragmatic approach to process. • BS or higher in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
