About the role

  • Head of Engineering managing engineering teams at CybelAngel, ensuring delivery and strategic alignment in a cyber threat landscape.

Responsibilities

  • The Head of Engineering leads CybelAngel's engineering organization (~15–25 engineers, 4–5 teams).
  • They are responsible for delivery, team development, and cross-team coordination.
  • They create the organizational conditions for product and technical strategy to be implemented.
  • They directly manage 4 Engineering Managers and work in tandem with the Staff Engineer (architecture, technical standards) and the CTPO (product and technology vision).
  • This role is created to enable the organization to scale in a data-centric shift, accelerate prototyping, and reduce enterprise churn.
  • Establish clear visibility into engineering project progress without imposing a rigid framework.
  • Define and track relevant engineering metrics (cycle time, deployment frequency, stability, velocity).
  • Ensure coordination of cross-team projects in partnership with Product Management.
  • Manage dependencies between squads, anticipate bottlenecks, and unblock conflict or blockage situations.
  • Lead incident management in collaboration with Engineering Operations / SRE.

Requirements

  • 8+ years of engineering experience, including 3+ years managing Engineering Managers (not just ICs)
  • Proven track record of predictable delivery in a multi-team environment (4+ squads)
  • Experience structuring or restructuring an engineering organization (30–60+ people)
  • Experience in a B2B SaaS environment, ideally cybersecurity, data, or cloud
  • Experience implementing an engineering ladder or dual-track career path
  • Strong technical culture: able to discuss architectural choices with a Staff Engineer without being the technical decision-maker
  • Familiarity with data-centric architectures (Bronze/Silver/Gold, dbt, data platform) is a plus
  • Fluent French, professional English (documentation and tools in English, team predominantly francophone)
  • Applied AI culture in engineering: you have already integrated AI tools (Claude code, Cursor, agents, LLMs) into your teams' workflows — not as a gimmick, but as a lever for measurable velocity.

  • Compensation: €90k–€100k per year, depending on experience and demonstrated skills during the recruitment process
  • Bonus: up to 5% of gross annual salary, based on achievement of individual and collective objectives
