The Cybersecurity Group at SandboxAQ is looking for an Engineering Manager to help functionalize AQtive Guard, our groundbreaking solution for modern non-human identity and cryptography management already launching globally with major organizations like top-tier financial institutions and government agencies.
The team is seeking a hands-on Engineering Manager who is strongly focused on building SDK and enterprise integration solutions for cybersecurity platforms. This role is pivotal in advancing our security integrations to support seamless connectivity with third-party tools and other enterprise security platforms. The successful candidate will lead the technical strategy for developer-facing SDKs while remaining hands-on with code and architecture decisions.
What You'll Do
- Lead and grow our SDK and Integrations team while remaining hands-on with code reviews, architecture decisions, and critical feature development.
- Design and build SDKs that enable seamless integration between our cybersecurity platform and third-party enterprise tools
- Own the developer experience end-to-end: from API design to documentation to integration, deployment guides
- Collaborate with enterprise customers and partners to understand integration requirements and prioritize our SDK roadmap
- Drive technical decisions around SDK architecture, including versioning strategies, backward compatibility, and multi-platform support
- Mentor and coach engineers on both technical skills and career development while fostering a culture of quality, testing, and documentation
- Partner with developer relations and customer success teams to gather feedback and continuously improve SDK usability
- Establish and maintain engineering best practices for SDK testing, CI/CD pipelines, and release management
- Build relationships with key enterprise customers and act as their technical advocate internally
About You
- You have 8+ years in software engineering roles with experience leading engineering teams and remaining technically hands-on
- You have a proven track record of building and shipping production services from scratch in Rust, Golang, Python, C++, Kotlin or Java. Note that our integration services are written in Kotlin.
- We value cross-language experience overall. Indeed, on top of Kotlin/Java, our SDK will have to support other languages like Go, Rust, and Python.
- You've built and shipped production SDKs, APIs, or enterprise integration solutions across multiple programming languages
- You can quickly grasp streaming concepts (codecs, protocols, latency optimisation), or you already have experience in this domain
- You think like a developer advocate while balancing technical excellence with business objectives and delivery timelines
- You excel at cross-functional collaboration and can translate between technical constraints and business requirements
- You have experience with enterprise authentication flows (OAuth, SAML), API security, and compliance requirements
- You demonstrate strong technical leadership skills with the ability to make architectural decisions while managing and developing team members
- You balance hands-on technical contributions with people management and strategic planning
