Engineering Manager

Engineering Manager At Cerby we believe security is everyone’s business. Collaborating across your apps doesn’t need to be chaos. We are a mission-critical cybersecurity company that empowers your teams to operate securely and control their apps completely. We’ve built our product on the idea that teams deserve autonomy over their work apps. It turns out that why they are guaranteed a choice, security comes naturally. More than 50% of all technology is spent outside of centralized IT organizations. Individual business units are taking their technology destiny into their own hands, and we enable that. End user onboarded applications are behind more than one third of all cybersecurity hacks. We provide the solution to manage that through enabling users to select their own technology and we automatically protect those applications. About the role The Engineering Manager is responsible for the people, culture, and delivery of the engineering squad. You are the primary owner of team performance, career development, hiring, and organizational health—the conditions that allow great engineering to happen. This engineering squad is responsible for critical parts of the Cerby platform, including the orchestration and runtime of automation workflows, and the developer SDK for building them. You will collaborate closely with your squad, engineering leadership, and cross-functional partners in product, design, and people to drive high-impact initiatives while building a strong, high-performing engineering culture. As Cerby scales its engineering organization and embraces AI-assisted development, you will create the right environment—time, resources, and psychological safety—for your team to experiment with and adopt modern development practices that increase quality and velocity. What you'll do People Leadership & Career Development Manage a squad of engineers through regular 1:1s, structured feedback, and individualized growth plans. Own performance management end-to-end: set clear expectations, deliver honest and timely feedback, run performance reviews, and address underperformance proactively. Partner with engineers on career pathing—helping ICs grow toward senior, staff, or leadership roles based on their goals and the company’s needs. Identify and close skill gaps through targeted development opportunities: training, mentorship, stretch projects, and learning programs. Build and maintain psychological safety within the team—an environment where engineers speak up, take ownership, and learn from failure without fear. Hiring & Retention Lead engineering hiring for your squad: define role requirements, partner with people, conduct structured interviews, and make hiring decisions. Build a compelling candidate experience that reflects Cerby’s engineering culture and mission. Proactively manage retention risk by understanding what motivates each team member and addressing concerns before they become attrition. Partner with People on leveling, equity, and comp decisions to stay competitive in a tight talent market. Delivery & Operational Excellence Own delivery predictability and team velocity: ensure the squad ships consistently against committed OKRs and sprint goals. Optimize team rituals—standups, sprint planning, retrospectives—for efficiency, clarity, and continuous improvement. Communicate team status, risks, and dependencies clearly and proactively to engineering leadership and cross-functional stakeholders. Remove organizational blockers—cross-team dependencies, process friction, resource constraints—so engineers can focus on delivery. Define and track team OKRs aligned with company and product goals, and report on progress with transparency. Enable your team to integrate AI-assisted development practices—code generation, intelligent code review, automated testing—by protecting capacity and creating space for adoption.
