We are looking for an Engineering Manager for our Santa Clara, California, Headquarters.

The Prisma Access Browser (PAB) team builds the Enterprise Browser, a secure and seamless platform that acts as a shield for businesses' online activity. It protects against cyber threats by isolating web sessions, filtering malicious content, preventing data leaks, and centrally managing security policies. Our multi-layered approach secures data while providing a superior user experience across both frontend and backend layers.

We're looking for a manager with strong technical depth in both backend and frontend engineering who can guide full-stack teams, balancing distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, and modern web application development.

Your impact:

• Lead a team of engineers building high-scale backend services and modern frontend applications, ensuring seamless integration between client and server.
• Own project delivery across the full software lifecycle—from frontend user experience and design systems to backend scalability, reliability, and monitoring.
• Drive technical strategy and architecture for core PAB services, including data ingestion, processing, and real-time user interactions.
• Partner with Product, Architecture, Design, and SRE teams to ensure performance, reliability, security, and usability at scale.
• Encourage engineering best practices in CI/CD, observability, automated testing, and accessibility.
• Grow and mentor a high-impact full-stack engineering team through coaching, feedback, and career development.
• Promote a culture of innovation, inclusion, and continuous improvement within the team.
• Identify opportunities to improve system performance, frontend usability, and cross-stack development workflows.

Your experience:

• 6+ years of experience in software engineering (backend + frontend), with at least 2+ years in engineering leadership roles.
• Proven success managing cloud-native applications on GCP/AWS/Azure, especially with Kubernetes.
• Solid background in modern frontend frameworks (React, TypeScript, modern JavaScript) and delivering high-quality, performant user experiences.
• Proficiency in programming languages such as Go, Python, and TypeScript.
• Knowledge of networking, security, and scaling strategies for both backend services and secure browser-based applications.
• Strong people leadership and team-building skills; ability to recruit, onboard, grow talent and drive high-performing teams.
