Requirements
Required:
- 3+ years managing software engineers, ideally including senior and staff-level ICs, with a track record of shipping products
- 8+ years in software engineering before or alongside management
- Relevant domain depth in at least one of: bot detection or bot management, fraud or abuse prevention, web security, browser or client-side engineering, or high-volume API services
- Experience building or running measurement-driven engineering — test corpora, precision/recall or FP/FN tracking, regression suites, SLOs
Nice to have:
- Direct experience with bot detection, bot management, or anti-automation products
- Familiarity with AI agent ecosystems: agent frameworks, verified-agent protocols, and how agents interact with websites and APIs
- Experience with browser internals or headless/automation frameworks and the techniques used to detect or evade them
- Experience running API-first products with public OpenAPI specs, SDKs, and MCP or similar agent-facing surfaces
Responsibilities
- Own the engineering plan for Beta → GA → standalone launch
- Define and prove the service's operating envelope — throughput, latency tails, rate limiting, availability SLOs
- Run staged rollouts for detection changes that affect customer bot rates
- Manage, coach, and grow a team of senior engineers
