Team Lead Engineering - Messaging Platform

At SoSafe, you'll be part of a cybersecurity team that thrives on innovation, safeguarding organizations against evolving threats and making the digital world a safer place. You will have the opportunity to make a real impact, surrounded by a vibrant and supportive team and environment committed to your professional growth.

Here's how you'll make a difference:

• Own and lead SoSafe’s business-critical Messaging Platform, responsible for outbound communication across all products

• Build and evolve a shared, multi-channel messaging backbone, abstracting provider-specific complexity and delivery mechanics away from product teams

• Ensure messaging remains reliable, scalable and compliant by default - even as volume, channels and business requirements grow

• Translate company and engineering strategy into a clear, outcome-driven roadmap, balancing reliability, scalability, compliance and new capabilities

• Reduce delivery and operational complexity for experience squads by providing clear abstractions and reliable platform services

• Drive operational excellence through improved monitoring, incident response and continuous improvement

• Build strong partnerships with Product and other Platform teams to maximize impact across the organization

What makes you a great fit:

• You have led and grown engineering teams

• You bring strong people leadership experience and enjoy coaching, developing and growing experienced engineers

• You’re comfortable leading teams through ambiguity, turning strategy into execution and measurable outcomes

• You bring a technical background and can confidently set technical direction

• You are comfortable operating business-critical systems in cloud-native environments

• You value reliability and operational excellence as much as feature delivery

• You think in platforms and products, treating experience squads as your customers

• You communicate clearly and confidently with both technical and non-technical stakeholders

You’re familiar with - or excited to work with - the following areas:

• Modern backend development, primarily with Node.js (NestJS) in a microservice-based architecture

• Containerized and cloud-native systems, including Docker, Kubernetes, and GitOps-style deployments with ArgoCD

• Version control and CI/CD workflows built around GitHub and automated delivery pipelines

• Cloud infrastructure on AWS, operating and scaling business-critical services

• Messaging and email delivery systems, including AWS SES, SMTP-based delivery, and Postfix

• Developer tooling and operational observability, using tools like Cursor IDE, LaunchDarkly, and Sentry

What we offer*

• Work/Life balance: Flexible hours, 33 vacation days

• Wellbeing and financial support: Access to Open Up, corporate discounts

• Connection & community: Virtual events, collaborative team activities, and opportunities for local meet-ups

• And the list goes on: Tech equipment, referral bonuses, dog-friendly HQ

*Perks and benefits listed above are for full-time employees and may vary slightly by office location. These are just a sample — you'll learn more during the interview process.
