R&D Group Lead

We are looking for an exceptional R&D Group Lead with a strong background in cybersecurity (preferably in offensive security, either from civilian industry or defense organizations). This is a unique opportunity for someone who is both deeply passionate about technology and truly an inspiring people leader - someone who knows how to connect, motivate, and grow their teams while driving technological excellence and leading the company's AI journey.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead and manage 3 engineering teams.
• Take ownership of the business logic layer within the product, ensuring alignment with product strategy and company goals.
• Build, mentor, and guide team leaders to ensure high performance and professional growth.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Security, and other stakeholders to deliver high-quality solutions.
• Drive architectural decisions, best practices, and long-term technical vision (not hands-on, but with a strong technical background).
• Lead AI-driven initiatives across R&D — define the strategy, identify opportunities, and drive adoption of AI tools and methodologies within engineering teams.
• Pioneer the integration of AI into development workflows, products, and processes — turning AI from a buzzword into a real competitive advantage.
  
  

• Proven experience as a Team Leader in R&D and ready to step up to lead multiple teams.
• Strong background in cybersecurity – an offensive security background (civilian or defense) is a strong advantage.
• Solid understanding of Python, Kubernetes, and microservices architecture (must-have).
• Experience working in complex, large-scale distributed systems.
• Hands-on curiosity and growing experience with AI technologies — familiarity with LLMs, AI agents, or AI-assisted development is a significant advantage.
• Excellent leadership, communication, and organizational skills.
• Ability to inspire, motivate, and empower engineering teams.
