Armis, the cyber exposure management & security company, protects the entire attack surface and manages an organization’s cyber risk exposure in real time. In a rapidly evolving, perimeter-less world, Armis ensures that organizations continuously see, protect and manage all critical assets - from the ground to the cloud. Armis secures Fortune 100, 200 and 500 companies as well as national governments, state and local entities to help keep critical infrastructure, economies and society stay safe and secure 24/7.

Armis is a privately held company headquartered in California.

As Armis evolves into a platform of multiple interconnected products, our success depends on how effectively and efficiently we build software. The Development Platform team is at the core of that mission — creating the tools, infrastructure, and standards that empower every Armis engineer to deliver with speed, reliability, and security.

We are looking for an Engineering Manager to lead the evolution of Armis’s engineering foundations — across both frontend and backend domains.

This role blends technical leadership, team management, and strategic impact. You’ll guide a multidisciplinary team responsible for developer experience, infrastructure, and governance across the R&D organization.

The team’s mission is to increase developer velocity, ensure product quality, and strengthen engineering consistency across all Armis products — from web applications to backend microservices.

What You’ll Do

Technical & Strategic Leadership

Define and own the vision and roadmap for Armis’s development platform, including web, backend, and AI-enablement initiatives.
Partner with engineering leadership, architects, and product teams to remove friction and increase velocity across R&D.
Establish and govern engineering standards, testing practices, and secure development workflows.
Lead the evolution of our shared frameworks, build systems, and developer tools for scalability and security.

Frontend & Web Infrastructure

Own and evolve the UI development ecosystem, including build systems, testing frameworks, and local development experiences.
Govern our shared UI kit and design system, ensuring consistency, accessibility, and performance across all products.
Partner with UX and product engineers to create a cohesive, maintainable frontend foundation.

Backend & Microservices Infrastructure

Oversee and guide the microservices development framework, templates, and communication patterns.
Optimize monorepo builds, CI/CD pipelines, and runtime standards for efficiency, reliability, and observability.
Implement infrastructure-level protections that improve product quality and prevent regressions.

AI Enablement Across R&D

Champion and integrate AI-assisted development tools (code generation, code review, testing, documentation).
Define patterns and best practices for AI-driven workflows, enabling teams to move faster with higher quality.
Partner with data, DevOps, and product teams to explore how AI can optimize engineering processes and infrastructure.

People & Collaboration

Lead, mentor, and grow a cross-functional team of backend, frontend, and platform engineers.
Foster a culture of technical excellence, innovation, and continuous improvement.
Collaborate closely with Product, UX, Security, and DevOps leaders to align strategy and execution.

What we expect

8+ years of engineering experience, with at least 3 years in a technical leadership or team lead role.
Strong technical foundation in frontend architecture and tooling (React, TypeScript, build pipelines, testing).
Solid understanding of backend infrastructure, CI/CD, microservices, and distributed systems.
Experience leading platform or developer productivity teams in large-scale environments.
Proven ability to establish engineering standards, governance, and automation across R&D.
Curiosity and practical understanding of AI-assisted development workflows and related tooling (e.g., code completion, documentation, or CI automation).
Excellent communication skills and a collaborative mindset that bridges frontend, backend, and AI initiatives.

Why Join Us

The Development Platform team is a strategic force multiplier at Armis — shaping how hundreds of engineers build, test, and deliver products.

You’ll lead the group that defines how software is built at Armis, from local development to production — while driving the adoption of AI technologies that enhance developer velocity and product quality.

If you’re passionate about creating world-class engineering environments and driving innovation through AI and automation, this is your opportunity to lead at scale.
