Platform Development Leader - Cybersecurity Platforms

The Platform Development Leader is expected to lead and coordinate a team of approximately 5 to 10 developers and interns, while remaining deeply hands-on in

Go, React.js, and Rust. Our primary focus is Go and React; Rust is optional if the candidate is not strong. This is not a pure people-management role. The person must be able to technically mentor developers and interns, review engineering quality, guide implementation decisions, support debugging, and ensure platform capabilities are functionally valid and product-ready.
