The Data Platform organization sits at the heart of that mission, powering analytics, detections, machine learning, and next-generation AI capabilities.   The Opportunity   We're looking for a Director of Engineering to lead the teams that form the foundation of everything Vectra builds. You'll own the systems that ingest, process, store, and analyze petabytes of security telemetry daily, and you'll drive the platform forward to support modern AI workloads, autonomous security workflows, and next-generation analytics.   This role is first and foremost an organizational leadership role, but technical credibility is non-negotiable. You'll need to be architecturally fluent, able to engage deeply on system design, challenge assumptions, and identify risks before they become problems. You'll work closely with our platform architects on technical direction, but you're expected to bring your own point of view and push back when something doesn't hold up.     What You'll Do   People and Organizational Leadership   Build, grow, and mentor high-performing engineering teams across multiple geographies.   Develop engineering managers and senior technical leaders through coaching, sponsorship, and career investment.   Foster an inclusive culture built on trust, ownership, and accountability, where distributed teams can do their best work.   Create the conditions for strong execution: clear priorities, healthy team rhythms, and an environment where engineers can focus on meaningful work.   Cross-Functional Leadership   Align priorities and investment decisions with Product, Security Research, AI, Infrastructure, and Customer teams.   Communicate platform strategy, progress, risks, and trade-offs clearly to executive leadership.   Partner with customer-facing teams to understand evolving data requirements and scaling challenges.   Influence company-wide direction around data, AI, and platform capabilities.   Execution and Operational Excellence   Lead delivery of large-scale platform initiatives, balancing innovation, reliability, and speed.   Set engineering best practices across data processing, schema evolution, data quality, and service-level objectives.   Own production operations, incident management, and continuous improvement.   Ensure predictable delivery while keeping a clear line of sight to customer impact and long-term platform health.   Technical Strategy and Platform Direction   Engage deeply on architecture decisions for scalable, reliable, and AI-ready infrastructure, able to ask hard questions, identify gaps, and pressure-test designs alongside platform architects.   Champion a platform-first min
