Position Summary

  • We're looking for a deeply technical engineering leader to drive the development of high quality applications within the Vision One platform at TrendAI.
  • This role is first and foremost for someone who lives and breathes software, architecture, and security — someone who can earn the trust of senior engineers through technical credibility, not just seniority.
  • You'll lead a team of developers, shaping both the technical direction and the people behind it.

In Your Technical Leadership Capacity, You Will

  • Drive architectural decisions for cloud native, distributed systems — microservices, event driven systems, REST APIs — with a security first mindset
  • Stay hands on: review code, prototype solutions, and contribute directly when needed
  • Own and enforce security practices across the SDLC, including threat modeling, secure coding standards, and vulnerability management
  • Lead the team's adoption of AI augmented software development lifecycle (AI SDLC), including spec driven development using agentic AI.
  • Bring hands on knowledge of AI/ML technologies relevant to the platform: model fine tuning and prompt engineering, AI agents and agentic workflows, guardrails and safety mechanisms, AI security risks, and emerging standards like MCP
  • Stay current with the threat landscape and competitive market in cybersecurity, translating that knowledge into product and technical decisions
  • Champion continuous improvement through experimentation, retrospectives, and cross team knowledge sharing

In Your Product Ownership Capacity, You Will

  • Collaborate with stakeholders to define functional and non functional requirements, translating them into clear, actionable specs for your team
  • Lead project planning and execution, ensuring the team has direction, resources, and clear priorities to deliver high quality work on time
  • Hold ownership of communications and coordination for your areas of Vision One, keeping customer experience at the center of every decision

In Your People Management Capacity, You Will

  • Hold regular 1:1s with direct reports and support their career growth through mentorship and honest feedback
  • Recruit for your teams: from job descriptions to interviews to closing and onboarding
  • Run bi annual talent reviews and annual salary assessments, including the conversations that come with them
  • Support team members with HR, IT, and administrative issues as needed

Qualifications

  • 7+ years of software development experience, with strong proficiency in one or more of: Java, Golang, Python, JavaScript
  • 5+ years in cloud native application development, including infrastructure as code and CI/CD pipelines
  • Experience with building and deploying with containers and container orchestration technology such as Kubernetes
  • Solid experience with microservice architectures, REST API design, and event driven systems
  • Passion for cybersecurity
  • Experience or strong familiarity with AI agents, agentic frameworks, and protocols such as MCP and A2A
  • Proven ability to lead and grow engineering teams
  • Excellent communication skills across technical and non technical audiences

Nice To Have

  • Knowledge of AI security risks: prompt injection, adversarial inputs, data privacy, model integrity
  • Experience with LLM guardrails, safety layers, or responsible AI practices
  • Familiarity with AI/ML development: model training, fine tuning, prompt engineering, or building AI powered features in production systems
  • Background in threat intelligence, malware analysis, or security research

What We Offer You

  • Comprehensive medical, dental and vision insurance
  • Life insurance
  • Short & Long Term Disability
  • Pre partum, maternity, parental and medical leave
  • Mental Health Wellness Program
  • Adoption Assistance
  • Wellness Incentive
  • Pet Insurance
  • 401(k) with company match
  • Paid Time Off
  • 14 Annual Holidays
