[Hiring] Technical Engineering Lead @Sysdig

Role Description

Reporting to the Director of Engineering, you will lead and grow a team of engineers, owning technical direction plus hiring, growth, and performance for the people on your team who build Sysdig's runtime agent, the software customers install directly in their environments and Sysdig’s primary data source.

• Review designs and code across the team.
• Unblock engineers on the hardest problems.
• Stay hands-on with the most technically demanding, cross-cutting work yourself.
• Partner with product, detection, and security research teams to guarantee new functionality into our runtime agent without regressing performance or stability in production.

Qualifications

• Experience leading a team of engineers: hiring, mentoring, and managing performance while staying technical enough to set direction and review the work yourself.
• Extensive experience building and operating low-level, performance-critical systems software (C, C++) that runs continuously in production on customer infrastructure.
• Working experience with containerized and orchestrated systems (Kubernetes, containerd, familiarity with cgroup).
• Deep working knowledge of OS internals and instrumentation techniques such as eBPF or kernel modules.
• Proficiency on Linux internals is required.
• Experience operating distributed systems at scale, including the reliability and performance trade-offs of software that has to run safely on every host or container it touches.

Requirements

• Experience managing a distributed team, with experience planning with a long-term roadmap and features that span across different teams.
• Expertise in Go or Rust will be a plus.
• Experience growing a team through a period of rapid product change.
• Good knowledge of Windows and/or Mac’s internals is a plus.

Benefits

• Extra days off to prioritize your well-being.
• Mental health support for you and your family through the Modern Health app.
• Great compensation package.
