[Hiring] Senior Engineering Manager, Agent AI @Panther

Role Description

Panther is building the future of SOC automation through AI agents that fundamentally change how security teams operate. Our vision is to enable SOC teams to cover 5-10x more data without proportionally scaling headcount by automating the most time-intensive analyst work: alert triage, analysis, and risk validation.

You'll build and lead Panther’s agentic team focused on AI-powered SOC analyst solutions that sit at the intersection of security and cutting-edge ML engineering. This is a customer-centric product engineering leadership role where you'll own the execution of our product roadmap, be the bridge between Engineering and Product Management, and you’ll build and lead the team through change alongside our customers, the industry and within the security domain.

• Building autonomous security capabilities for alert triage, interactive chat, detection code generation, and text-to-search.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of people management experience leading product engineering teams.
• Proven track record of hiring, developing, and retaining high-performing engineers.
• Experience managing cross-disciplinary teams and owning all aspects of people leadership.
• Strong partnership skills with recruiting teams to scale headcount effectively.
• Experience working in product-sales environments with direct customer exposure.
• Experience operating in ambiguous environments and making strategic decisions with incomplete information.
• Track record of owning the partnership between Product, Design and Engineering to define vision and roadmap.
• Experience owning user-facing product features from conception to delivery.
• Experience scaling a team focused on building agentic products and driving AI lead outcomes.
• Technical depth to participate in architecture discussions and unblock teams on complex design decisions.
• AWS experience preferred (serverless architectures, cloud infrastructure).
• Cybersecurity background is a nice-to-have but not required.
• Familiarity with modern engineering stacks (Golang, React, TypeScript, GraphQL) helpful.
• Customer-obsessed: You understand that your team's integrations are the first experience customers have with Panther.
• Owner mentality: You take responsibility for outcomes, not just outputs.
• Team-focused: You prioritize team health, growth, and sustainability alongside delivery.

Requirements

• Lead and grow Panther's AI team.
• Own the AI team's delivery.
• Build Panther's SOAR capabilities using AI infrastructure.
• Shape the AI SOC platform strategy.
• Drive technical direction without coding.
• Operate with a security-first mindset.
• Contribute to engineering-wide leadership.

Benefits

• Competitive equity in a well-established cybersecurity company.
• Unlimited PTO with a 15-day minimum, plus local federal holidays.
• Latest tech equipment and budget for your personalized setup.
• Comprehensive health and benefits coverage.
• Remote-first culture built for distributed teams.
