Head of Engineering - Cybret

About CYBRET AI

CYBRET AI is building Autonomous Security Infrastructure for modern organizations operating in complex, distributed, cloud-native environments.

Our ambition is to move cybersecurity away from reactive, human-dependent workflows and toward continuous, intelligent, autonomous security. We make a strict distinction between automation and autonomy—building systems that understand context, reason over attack surfaces, assess real-world consequences, and take risk-based decisions.

About the Role

This is a foundational leadership role with full ownership of engineering at CYBRET AI. As Head of Engineering, you will define how the platform is built, scaled, and operated, setting technical direction and building a high-performing engineering organization.

This role is hands-on. You are expected to design systems, review code, and lead by example while partnering closely with product, security, and AI teams.

Responsibilities

Technical Leadership & Architecture

• Own the overall technical architecture of the CYBRET AI platform across backend, AI systems, data, and infrastructure.
• Make and communicate clear architectural decisions ensuring scalability, reliability, security, and observability.
• Set engineering standards for quality, testing, and production readiness.

Engineering Execution

• Lead the implementation of core platform components with fast, disciplined shipping.
• Balance speed and long-term maintainability in a high-growth environment.

Team Building & Culture

• Hire, mentor, and scale a high-caliber engineering team.
• Build a culture of ownership, technical excellence, and accountability.
• Structure teams and set expectations for seniority, performance, and collaboration.

Collaboration & Strategy

• Partner with product, AI, and security leadership to translate research goals into executable technical plans.
• Act as a technical counterweight in strategic decisions.

Reliability, Security & Operations

• Ensure strong practices around deployment, monitoring, and incident response.
• Oversee cloud infrastructure, CI/CD, and operational maturity with a security-first mindset.

What We’re Looking For

• Strong experience leading engineering teams in complex, production systems.
• Deep hands-on background as a senior software or platform engineer.
• Proven ability to design and scale distributed systems.
• Strong judgment and ability to make hard technical decisions.
• Experience operating in early-stage or high-growth environments.
• Experience in cybersecurity, cloud platforms, or AI-driven systems is a strong plus.

How We Work

CYBRET AI operates fully remote (Norway and Europe preferred, with international hiring based on merit). We value deep focus, clarity of thought, and strong ownership in a high-paced, early-stage environment.

Culture and Benefits

• Monthly team gatherings (weekend trips, cabin stays, and social events)
• Dedicated budget for learning, courses, and professional development
• Laptop of your choice (up to 20,000 NOK) and optional home office equipment
• Mobile subscription and home internet fully reimbursed
• Standard insurance coverage and pension benefits
