Maze is a cybersecurity company that leverages Agentic AI to manage and mitigate vulnerabilities within cloud environments. By automating the investigation and prioritization of vulnerabilities, Maze helps organizations identify critical weaknesses before they can be exploited by attackers. Their innovative approach significantly reduces the backlog of vulnerabilities, focusing on the most pressing security risks and enabling efficient remediation workflows.

📋 Description

• Own engineering leadership for a growing portion of our org: Take clear accountability for a set of small, high-output product teams (typically 3–5 engineers each), with tech leads reporting directly to you. Ensure every team has unambiguous priorities, strong support, and everything they need to move fast. • Stay close to the technical work: Engage directly with architecture decisions, code reviews, and technical discussions across your teams. We expect you to spend meaningful time understanding what each team is building — not as a gatekeeper, but as a trusted technical voice who can contribute, challenge, and improve. • Grow the engineering leaders of Maze's future: Take ownership of career development, performance management, and coaching for tech leads and senior engineers in your teams. Build the kind of trust with engineers that comes from genuinely knowing their work, their growth areas, and their ambitions — not from generic 1:1s. • Drive cross-team coordination without creating bureaucracy: Own the planning and coordination layer that keeps multiple small teams aligned and unblocked. Keep it lightweight, decision-focused, and in service of engineering velocity — not process for its own sake. • Lead technical hiring: Take ownership of engineering hiring within your area, from defining the bar and shaping interview processes to closing exceptional candidates. The quality of who we hire is one of the highest-leverage things either of us can do. • Build the org we need to scale: Work closely with Santiago to design team structures, identify emerging leaders from within, and evolve how we operate as the team doubles. We grow leaders from the inside where we can — you'll be central to identifying, developing, and empowering the next generation. • Maintain technical excellence as we grow: Partner with tech leads to uphold code quality, shared engineering practices, and high standards across the org — without letting process replace judgment.

🎯 Requirements

• Technical credibility that engineers will respect • Experience as the most senior technical leader of a small, high-output team • Genuine people leadership, not just org design • The hands-on instinct • Comfort with small-team operating models • Strong hiring instincts • A business owner's mindset • Nice to Haves: Experience in cybersecurity, AI, or security tooling — or a genuine interest in the domain and willingness to go deep quickly. • Founder or early-stage startup experience, particularly having built an engineering org from a small base. • Familiarity with agentic AI systems, LLMs, or ML-adjacent engineering — not as a researcher, but as someone who's built or led teams building on top of these technologies. • Experience managing distributed teams.

🏖️ Benefits

• Ambitious challenge • Expert team • Impactful work • Build an AI-native engineering org from the ground up • Real ownership and a clear growth path
