Device Engineering Manager

Role overview Lead a team responsible for software that discovers and identifies network-connected devices, gathers device information, and supports actions such as firmware updates and configuration changes. Set the direction for device coverage and reverse engineering, turning findings about undocumented protocols and firmware into reusable, tested product capabilities. The role combines people leadership with hands-on technical work and production support.

Responsibilities - Coach and develop device engineers and reverse engineers, and grow the team to meet roadmap needs. - Prioritize device and protocol analysis, and guide architecture so new capabilities fit maintainable module boundaries. - Set standards for technical documentation, device profiles, fingerprints, and automated tests. - Automate repeatable work such as profile creation, firmware and vulnerability data collection, and capture-based test replay; encourage thoughtful use of AI development tools. - Coordinate scope and sequencing with product and technical leads, and turn field needs into engineering work with research and customer-facing teams. - Support deployed software, including customer-managed environments, participate in incident response, and review code and debug issues directly.

Requirements - At least 7 years of engineering management experience, including Agile and cross-functional product work. - Strong software background with network-connected embedded, IoT, or industrial devices, plus experience leading or partnering closely with reverse engineers on protocol or firmware analysis. - Working knowledge of TCP/IP, TLS, HTTP, authentication, and common embedded or industrial protocols. - Prior engineering experience with some of Node.js, TypeScript, Go, Python, relational databases, Docker, or Unix/Linux systems debugging. - Experience shipping software to customer-managed or on-premises environments. - Regular use of AI-assisted development tools, sound judgment about their limits, and ability to read code and troubleshoot production issues.

Nice to have - Cybersecurity, industrial control systems, or connected-device security experience.

Benefits and work setup - Remote-first work arrangement. - Listed compensation includes a $220,000 salary, equity, and a comprehensive benefits plan.
