About the Role
The Cybersecurity Group at SandboxAQ is looking for an Engineering Manager to help functionalize AQtive Guard, our groundbreaking solution for modern non-human identity and cryptography management already launching globally with major organizations like top-tier financial institutions and government agencies.
The team is seeking a hands-on Engineering Manager who is strongly focused on building SDK and enterprise integration solutions for cybersecurity platforms. This role is pivotal in advancing our security integrations to support seamless connectivity with third-party tools and other enterprise security platforms. The successful candidate will lead the technical strategy for developer-facing SDKs while remaining hands-on with code and architecture decisions.
What You'll Do
- Lead and grow our SDK and Integrations team while remaining hands-on with code reviews, architecture decisions, and critical feature development.
- Design and build SDKs that enable seamless integration between our cybersecurity platform and third-party enterprise tools
- Own the developer experience end-to-end: from API design to documentation to integration, deployment guides
- Collaborate with enterprise customers and partners to understand integration requirements and prioritize our SDK roadmap
- Drive technical decisions around SDK architecture, including versioning strategies, backward compatibility, and multi-platform support
- Mentor and coach engineers on both technical skills and career development while fostering a culture of quality, testing, and documentation
- Partner with developer relations and customer success teams to gather feedback and continuously improve SDK usability
- Establish and maintain engineering best practices for SDK testing, CI/CD pipelines, and release management
- Build relationships with key enterprise customers and act as their technical advocate internally
About You
- You have 8+ years in software engineering roles with experience leading engineering teams and remaining technically hands-on
- You have a proven track record of building and shipping production services from scratch in Kotlin. While our stack includes Go and Rust, Kotlin is the primary language for this team's new development, and your proficiency is critical for success.
- You've built and shipped production SDKs, APIs, or enterprise integration solutions across multiple programming languages
- You can quickly grasp streaming concepts (codecs, protocols, latency optimisation), or you already have experience in this domain
- You think like a developer advocate while balancing technical excellence with business objectives and delivery timelines
- You excel at cross-functional collaboration and can translate between technical constraints and business requirements
- You have experience with enterprise authentication flows (OAuth, SAML), API security, and compliance requirements
- You demonstrate strong technical leadership skills with the ability to make architectural decisions while managing and developing team members
- You balance hands-on technical contributions with people management and strategic planning
SandboxAQ welcomes all.

Verify Employer Thoroughly
Research the company's identity thoroughly before applying. Check for a professional website with contacts, active social media, and LinkedIn profiles. Verify details across platforms and look for reviews on Glassdoor or Trustpilot to confirm legitimacy.
Never Pay to Get a Job
Legitimate employers never require payment for applications, training, background checks, or equipment. Always reject upfront payment requests or demands for bank details, even if they claim it's for purchasing necessary work gear on your behalf.
Safeguard Your Personal Information
Protect sensitive data like SSN, bank details, or ID copies. Share this only after accepting a formal, written job offer. Ensure it's submitted via a secure company system or portal, never through insecure channels like standard email attachments.
Scrutinize Communication & Interviews
Watch for communication red flags: poor grammar, generic emails (@gmail), vague details, or undue pressure. Be highly suspicious of interviews held only via text or chat apps; legitimate companies typically use video or phone calls.
Beware of Unrealistic Offers
If an offer's salary or benefits seem unrealistically high for the work involved, be cautious. Research standard pay for similar roles. Offers that appear 'too good to be true' are often scams designed to lure you into providing information or payment.
Insist on a Formal Contract
Always secure and review a formal, written job offer or employment contract before starting work or sharing final personal details. Ensure it clearly defines your role, compensation, key terms, and conditions to avoid misunderstandings or scams.
