The posting

About Galvanick

Galvanick protects the industrial world against cyber attacks. Our threat detection platform defends the modern world against criminals and nation-states that target Operational Technology (OT) systems and networks. This is a chance to work in a startup environment with driven individuals committed to solving cybersecurity's big problems. We are backed by Founders Fund, Village Global, MaC Venture Capital, and others.

About the Role

We are seeking a talented individual to join our team as our first Head of Engineering. You will play a crucial role in translating technically sophisticated use cases into intuitive product experiences. Our product and vision is focused on securing the nation’s infrastructure and delivering value.

This is a chance to help define long-term product vision and perform feature design, requirements gathering, and make key decisions on architecture. You will be involved in building out our product roadmap and ensuring timely execution.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys solving hard security problems, understanding customer pain points, and iterating based on feedback. If you are passionate about reducing complexity and enjoy providing a great product and user experience, we would love to hear from you.

What You Will Do

* Ensure the engineering team is a well oiled machine that delivers on-time and to customer requirements.

* Oversee engineering operations, delivery timelines, and process improvements. You will lead team-level planning ensuring timelines are realistic and progress is transparent and accountable.

* Define requirements and perform feature design enabling the engineering team with clear guidelines and action steps. Lead resource planning so that the team can execute as timely as possible without missteps.

* Drive technical vision, product architecture, and infrastructure scalability. Ensure engineering processes enable fast iteration while maintaining quality and reliability.

* Plan, execute, and deliver complex engineering projects on schedule and within budget. You will lead delivery planning and project execution while balancing technical excellence with predictable delivery.

* Manage technology backlogs with an eye on security, upgrades, and scalability and stability of the platform.

* Lead zero to one product initiatives. Engage ambiguous problem spaces and turn them into defined, prioritized, and validated product offerings.

Who You Are

* 6+ years of experience in software development with at least 2 years in a lead or senior role. You have an engineering background and you maintain technical fluency and experience with system design and coding.

* Experience bringing products from concept through the product life-cycle. You have a proven track record of leading large-scale engineering projects and making strategic technical decisions.

* Demonstrated success in leading startup teams and managing complex engineering projects with limited resources. You enjoy rolling up your sleeves and working alongside the engineering team in contributing directly to the codebase.

* Experience working directly with customers for feature discovery and user needs. You will bridge the gap between our engineering team, our non-technical management team, and our end users. The ability to translate user needs to clear requirements documentation is essential.

* Technically fluent in APIs, developer workflows, and cloud infrastructure, with strong collaboration skills across Engineering, Customer Success, and GTM teams.

* Data-driven with clear communication, strong systems thinking, and the ability to prototype and move fast under ambiguity.

* Detail oriented and timely approach to ensuring the team meets product deadlines. You thrive in attention to details while driving schedules across teams.

Bonus Points

* Experience partnering with early stage teams and building cybersecurity products.

* You thrive in ambiguity and understand the pace of change at a seed stage startup.

* Comfortable taking risks and owning the accountability for managing them.

* You have a bias for action. You enjoy solving problems and are naturally curious about the technologies and tools you use.

* Startup experience and an understanding of zero to one ideas. You enjoy attacking complex and novel problems.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
