🌀 The Company
Filigran, founded in October 2022, stands out in the cybertech ecosystem for its commitment to revolutionizing cyber threat management with a proactive approach. Its mission is to develop innovative open-source solutions designed to anticipate cyber threats, identify security gaps, and strengthen organizational security posture.
Filigran solutions are now trusted by over 6,000 public and private organizations worldwide.
🎯 The Role
We're looking for a hands-on Engineering Manager to be the technical and human pillar of our OpenCTI Integration team.
You'll drive the roadmap alongside the product team, while directly contributing to the codebase on a daily basis. You will balance hands-on coding with team leadership, shipping real code while setting the pace, standards, and direction for your squad.
You will own technical quality, team well-being, and delivery execution for a team that builds connectors that bring external data into OpenCTI, fueling its ability to unify, operationalize, and prioritize threat intelligence.
💼 Your Responsibilities
- Own the mindset, energy, and well-being of your team
- Run structured, effective 1:1s and annual reviews to support each person's growth
- Define clear objectives and expectations for every team member, aligned with their career path and Filigran's goals
- Maintain full visibility on all ongoing tasks and their progress at all times
- Be accountable for ETAs - anticipate blockers, surface risks early, and keep delivery on track
- Actively challenge Product on definitions, priorities, timing, and roadmap trade-offs
- Write, review, and merge code daily — this is a first-class activity, not a side task
- Deliver meaningful PR reviews that elevate code quality and help teammates grow
- Own technical deliverables end-to-end alongside the team, from design and architecture to implementation
🤝 Who You’ll Work With
- You report to the Director of Engineering and work closely with other Engineering Managers to ensure the alignment of practices and the well-being of the Software Engineering Team globally
- You work closely with Product Management, and Senior Engineers to be able to plan correctly and ensure the correct pace of your software team
- You must mentor and guide your team in their career path and shine at their most at Filigran
🧬 Profile We’re Looking For

- Fluent in English and French
- Experience or interest in working with python
- Experience building distributed systems or integration platforms, with a good understanding of data pipelines, APIs, and third-party ecosystem connectivity
- Strong interest in AI and its applications in cybersecurity
- Comfortable working with and leveraging AI-powered tools (LLMs, automation, copilots, etc.) to improve workflows and productivity
- Comfortable working in a remote, async-first environment
