Engineering Manager

Remote (US)

Company Background

Censys’ mission is to be the one place to understand everything on the internet. Frustrated by the lack of trustworthy Internet intelligence, we set out to create the industry’s most comprehensive, accurate, and up-to-date map of the Internet. Today, Censys delivers real-time Internet intelligence and actionable threat insights to global governments, over 50% of the Fortune 500, and leading threat intelligence providers worldwide.

Location: 

This position can be remote within the United States, but employees have the option to work from any of our office locations: Ann Arbor, MI; Los Altos, CA; Seattle, WA; or Tysons, VA.

 

Role Summary: 

We’re looking for an Engineering Manager to join our team to manage the Engineering Team responsible for our Attack Surface Management platform. Our ASM platform is a growth product for Censys and it relies on us having a world-class architecture to provide customers the most real-time solution in the industry. Our ability to correctly map internet entities (hostnames, IP addresses, etc.) to the correct organization is the foundation of our ASM platform and will require someone who has both deep internet knowledge and experience to build highly scalable distributed system services. Furthermore, familiarity with AI/ML concepts and their practical applications is crucial for bringing innovative AI experiences into the platform. We’re looking for a technical hands-on manager that can hit the ground running and work closely with peers and quickly be able to support the team you manage. Our engineers need a manager that will push them to self-organize, to grow technically, to grow professionally, and to be there to help them remove roadblocks. 

 

This job is a good fit if you:

  • Find the most reward in managing, developing, and building a team of developers and finding balance between that and the administrative & strategic responsibilities of leadership
  • Are passionate about helping our team members grow through feedback, coaching, and delegation (this is distributing responsibility, not just assigning work).
  • Understand that great cultures attract great people and you are willing to work relentlessly to help us continually improve our culture.
  • Understand that passion is contagious, as a leader, your passion for our mission will inspire those around you to bring their best daily.
  • Have an interest in leveraging AI/ML techniques to drive product insights and enhance the user experience.
  • Are keen to explore and implement AI Agent technologies within the ASM platform.

 

This job is not good fit if you:

  • Think management sits between engineering and the business.
  • Think engineering’s job is done after the code is written.
  • You think Product needs to have a long detailed PRD which can be handed over to engineering and worked on for an extended period.
  • You are more motivated by technology than understanding customer problems.

 

What you will bring:

  • BS, preferably in the field of CS
  • 3+ years experience in leading a team of software developers
  • 5+ years experience in software engineering
  • Experience leading software engineering teams with a history of delivering high quality SaaS applications.
  • Familiarity with AI/ML concepts and their practical applications in software development.
  • Experience or interest in working with AI Agent technologies.
  • Understanding of data pipelines and feature engineering for AI/ML models.
  • Excellent communication skills, both oral and written, and you can communicate about both strategic and technical issues to cross-functional audiences.
  • History of scaling team productivity through delegation.
  • You are a force multiplier to your team by providing them with effective professional development plans.
  • Full understanding of the SDLC and how to hold teammates accountable for delivering quality customer experiences.

 

What you will do:

  • Understand the mission of the business and how your team fits into the bigger picture.
  • Work with a cross functional team (dev, docs, UX, scrum master) to deliver high quality complete solutions to customers.
  • Set and maintain a high bar for hiring new talent.
  • Continually inspect our process and culture looking for areas to improve.
  • Take responsibility for the overall planning, execution, and success of complex technical projects, including everything from research to design through development and on-time delivery of product releases to customers. 
  • Explore and identify opportunities to integrate AI/ML capabilities into the ASM platform for enhanced insights and automation.
  • Lead the team in developing and deploying AI-powered features, including potentially AI Agent experiences.
  • Collaborate with data scientists and machine learning engineers to develop, train, and deploy AI models.
  • Ensure the scalability and reliability of AI infrastructure within the ASM platform.
  • Be responsible for the quality of your team's work.
  • Regular Agile ceremonies with proper follow-up will lead to the best results for our customers and our own internal improvement. Be the steady hand showing that consistency and persistence wins the race.

 

Our target salary range for this role is between $154,000 - $209,000 + bonus eligibility and equity.

In addition to our great compensation package, our benefits are effective on day one and include but are not limited to 401k match, health, vision, dental, and more! Please see our careers page for more details.

Our roots are in Ann Arbor, Michigan with location hubs in Seattle, the Bay Area, and Washington D.C. Our innovation is fueled by the team’s global perspectives. For this role, we are open to remote employees across the continental US.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
