LAYIQ - Senior Manager, Cloud Platform and Security at Twenty

Build the organization: decide what to stand up first, how the work is divided into teams, and when to add management capacity, in partnership with the VP of Engineering.
Hire across infrastructure, security, reliability, and accreditation: set the bar for each discipline, run a structured process, and close strong candidates in a cleared hiring market.
Lead and develop senior engineers directly, as well as the managers you add as the organization grows.
Own the delivery path from a developer's laptop to a running instance, including instances we can't reach interactively: build, signing, packaging, install, upgrade, and rollback in customer environments.
Take over infrastructure work that product teams are doing today, and build a team resilient enough to keep owning it.
Own the operation of our products in our cloud and at customer sites, including incident response across the boundary between them.
Lead security engineering for our products: design review, secure defaults, vulnerability management, and detection, working with our managed detection and response provider.
Stand up and own an accreditation program for our products, through a dedicated lead who reports to you.
Communicate clearly to senior leadership on progress, risks, and the tradeoffs you're making.Who You Are
You're equally comfortable in a data-model review, a customer conversation, and a 1:1—you bring the same rigor to each.
You think in systems: data pipelines, marketplace incentives, interfaces, trust boundaries, team structure, and delivery dependencies—not just tickets.
You can turn ambiguous operational needs into clear engineering problems, measurable product outcomes, and executable plans.
You hold a high bar without creating drag—you know when to push and when to get out of the way.
You execute: you drive projects to completion, make decisions under uncertainty, and actively resolve ambiguity before it becomes drift.
You communicate crisply with engineers, product partners, operators, vendors, and leadership without losing technical truth.
You bring calm, structured decision-making to sensitive, fast-moving problem spaces where data quality, privacy, and security matter.
Must Have
You have 8+ years of professional experience across software, infrastructure, site reliability, or security engineering.
You have 5+ years of engineering management experience, including leading multiple teams or a team spanning more than one discipline.
You've built or substantially rebuilt an engineering function: set its scope, hired its people, and grown it into a team others rely on.
You've led senior engineers in disciplines outside your own background, and can describe how you judged their work.
Your organization has owned production systems in operation, including on-call, incident response, and the postmortem and root cause analysis (RCA) process.
You've led teams supporting software deployed outside a standard cloud environment: on-premises, private cloud, restricted, or customer-controlled infrastructure.
You've run hiring across multiple roles: setting the bar, running a structured process, and closing strong candidates.
You must be eligible to obtain a U.S. Government security clearance.
Nice To Have
You've managed engineering managers.
You have experience in defense, intelligence, or national security technology environments.
You've worked with accreditation or authorization processes for government systems, or with compliance frameworks such as CMMC, SOC 2, or NIST 800-53.
You've led forward-deployed or on-site engineering teams working inside customer environments.
You've owned software delivery into disconnected or restricted networks.
You've managed a relationship with a managed detection and response provider or an outsourced security operations function.
You've built an internal platform that product teams adopted by choice.
Tech Environment (You Might Work With)
AWS, Terraform, Ansible, and infrastructure as code
Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD, artifact signing, and release engineering
Self-hosted observability across cloud and customer environments
Services in Go, Python, and TypeScript, backed by PostgreSQL and Neo4j
Customer private cloud, restricted, and classified deployment environments
Managed detection and response, vulnerability management, and identity and access tooling
