Panaseer is a unique business that is changing the face of enterprise security.
As a scale-up at the intersection of data science and big data technology, our Continuous Controls Monitoring platform (CCM) pioneered a new market category in the rapidly growing security sector. CCM enables global organizations to better protect themselves from cyber-attacks by ensuring their cybersecurity defenses are fully deployed and working effectively at all times.
Panaseer has grown rapidly over the past decade and won numerous industry awards, most recently being recognized by the World Economic Forum as a 2023 Technology Pioneer helping to solve the world's most pressing issues. We are also included in three 2023 Gartner Hype Cycles Reports for Security Operations, Cyber Risk Management, and Workload and Network Security.
The company's continued growth is built on our shared values, which shape how we treat one another and the decisions we make. We want everyone at Panaseer to feel empowered to be authentically themselves, engage their curiosity and work together to create something truly unique.
Our Engineering Culture
Panaseer’s team welcomes people from all backgrounds and career paths. Curiosity and drive count more than credentials or previous titles.
Joining us at this stage means opportunities to make a real impact on enterprise-scale, mission-critical challenges for major customers.
You’ll work remotely from within the UK, with occasional face-to-face collaboration at our central London hub.
The Role
We’re seeking an experienced Engineering Manager to lead our Data Integrations domain, focusing on building and operating Data Connectors across their full lifecycle, while evolving the underlying data integration platform and services. The connectors are central to the Panaseer product, collecting all the data from our large-scale enterprise customers to generate our CCM insights. You'll ensure these connectors, and the surrounding ecosystem, are reliable, well-engineered and continuously improving.
Your domain covers two key areas, and together, both teams contribute to a cohesive, scalable integration ecosystem:
- Connector development & operations: You’ll guide a collaborative team delivering secure, high-quality third-party data integrations. By improving engineering standards and tooling, you'll ensure reliable daily data collection across hundreds of data connectors deployed across our customers. And you'll partner with external service providers to manage connector development capacity to meet customer delivery expectations.
- Core platform & services: Underpinning the connectors themselves, you’ll support our core integrations platform team, which provides the frameworks, tooling and services that power future integrations and platform capabilities. You'll be aligning architecture across squads, supporting strategic platform roadmap work, and partnering with Product and Engineering leadership to drive cohesive planning and delivery aligned with wider business goals.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead end-to-end planning and delivery for data connector and platform engineering, with a focus on operational reliability, predictable delivery, and alignment with product and customer delivery goals.
- Oversee incident response and continuous improvement initiatives, maintaining high operational standards, and ensuring a proactive, SRE-driven culture across teams.
- Support high-quality, predictable delivery across both teams, enabled by effective Agile practices and delivering clear communication of progress and priorities to internal and external stakeholders.
- Drive architectural alignment, collaborating closely across teams, ensuring decisions are pragmatic, scalable, maintainable and aligned with the platform vision.
- Develop and mentor permanent staff and contractors, empowering autonomy and growth aligned with Panaseer’s culture.
- Build trusted relationships across Product, DevOps, Engineering and Client Services, aligning objectives and ensuring transparency.
Requirements
- Experience leading multidisciplinary engineering teams in complex environments, balancing operational, delivery and architectural accountabilities.
- Confidence guiding teams through on-call rhythms, service reviews and operational improvement.
- Ability to balance near-term operational needs with longer-term strategic platform and roadmap initiatives.
- Technical credibility in data integrations, processing, APIs, and relevant platforms; willingness to coach, review, and enable technical decisions.
- Strong communication, relationship management, and stakeholder alignment skills to drive towards strategic business goals even if that means saying “no”.
- Experience managing external partners or contractor engineering teams.
- Commitment to building high-performance, inclusive teams and fostering professional development.
Who You Are
- A people-first leader who creates clarity, builds confidence and helps teams grow through coaching and trust.
- Calm and structured in dynamic, unpredictable operational environments, with a focus on continuous improvement and team empowerment.
- Skilled at balancing delivery momentum with strong engineering and operational standards.
- Collaborative and pragmatic, working closely with engineers on technical decisions and trade-offs.
- Focused on measurable impact for the team, business, users and continuous process improvement.
- Curious and adaptable across a broad technical landscape, from containerised deployments to APIs, Java/Spring services, integration pipelines and cloud technologies.
- Excited to shape a connector ecosystem and integration platform that is reliable, scalable and great to build on.
