About the company
Skeletons, lasers, tattoo buses — the Torq brand grabs attention like nothing else in cybersecurity. And we’re growing like crazy, backed by Series D funding, 200% employee growth, and 300% revenue growth. Fueling Torq’s momentum is our game-changing AI SOC platform, backed by a team and culture that makes Torq one of Forbes’ Best Startup Employers in America, and a Business Insider ‘startup to bet your career on’.
Life at Torq is all gas, no brakes. We’re a team of relentless, collaborative go-getters pushing the boundaries of what’s possible for security automation. Every role is an essential driver of Torq’s success as the AI-native autonomous SecOps platform of choice for security teams across the Fortune 500.
About the role
We are looking for a strong technical leader to lead one of our product-focused R&D teams at Torq.
This team owns meaningful product capabilities used across the Torq platform and works closely with Product, Design, and other engineering teams. The role combines people management, technical leadership, and strong product thinking - from understanding customer needs and shaping solutions to delivering high-quality features in production.
You will lead a team of experienced engineers, develop their skills, set clear priorities, and create an environment of ownership, collaboration, and continuous improvement. At the same time, you’ll stay close to the technology, lead design decisions, and step into the code when needed.
What Will You Do?
•
Lead, mentor, and develop a team of engineers.
•
Own the team’s execution, priorities, and long-term direction.
•
Work closely with Product and Design to turn customer needs into simple, scalable solutions.
•
Lead features and projects from early definition and design through production.
•
Drive technical design and architecture decisions while balancing product needs, quality, and delivery.
•
Stay close to the technology through design discussions, code reviews, debugging, and hands-on contribution when needed.
•
Build strong collaboration with other teams and lead cross-team initiatives.
•
Create clear processes and ownership as the team and its scope continue to grow.
•
Take part in hiring and help shape the team’s professional standards and culture.
•
Use modern AI tools such as Cursor and Claude Code as part of the development workflow while maintaining high-quality engineering standards.
What Should You Bring to the Table?
•
At least 3 years of experience managing an engineering team.
•
A strong software engineering background in Backend or Full Stack development.
•
Experience leading meaningful product features and projects end-to-end.
•
Strong System Design and architecture skills.
•
A product mindset and the ability to understand customer needs and business impact.
•
Experience working closely with Product, Design, and other R&D teams.
•
The ability to develop engineers, provide clear feedback, and build a high-performing team.
•
A hands-on mindset and the ability to step into code and technical discussions when needed.
•
Experience with Cloud environments, production systems, and modern engineering practices.
•
Excellent communication skills and the ability to explain complex decisions clearly.
•
High ownership, curiosity, and a collaborative, low-ego approach.
We’re looking for someone who can bring clarity to a broad product space, develop strong engineers, and combine technical depth with thoughtful product leadership.
We build AI for a living, and we encourage candidates to use it to prep, research, and sharpen their best work. But we’re hiring humans, not chatbots. We want the real you. Use AI to tighten your resume, prep for interviews, research Torq, and outline ideas for written responses. Show up as yourself for live interviews, final assessments (the voice, logic, and reasoning need to be yours), and anywhere we’re evaluating how you think — not how you prompt.
Excited about our vision and ready to make an impact as we grow? We’d love to see what you can bring to the team.
