Engineering Manager Ii, Cloud Security-Confluent

This role requires a leader who leads from the front and is comfortable in the trenches. You should expect to participate in engineering activities alongside the team, such as proposing designs and architectures, reviewing and threat modeling infrastructure, and prototyping solutions. It is expected that you have mastered the fundamentals of management, operating with direct autonomy to deliver impactful outcomes, and nurture top talent.

What You Will Do:

• Lead and coach a high-performing team of cloud security engineers in India, with accountability for team execution, operational delivery, and career growth.
• Remain technically hands-on: you will partner with your team to design architectures, review and threat model infrastructure, and prototype security solutions.
• Scale asset management, CSPM operations, and continuous visibility, and implement preventative security controls across multi-cloud environments (AWS, GCP, Azure).
• Focus on systematically eliminating entire classes of security misconfigurations and vulnerabilities through secure-by-default paved roads and safety guardrails.
• Serve as an escalation point for critical cloud security issues and operational outages, supporting the security teams on-call rotation.
• Drive automation-first initiatives to streamline compliance, reduce operational toil, and optimize security engineering workflows.
