About the Role:
As we grow the JumpCloud Engineering team, we are hiring a Senior Engineering Manager to lead our Identity Security Posture Management (ISPM) development team in India.
You will be responsible to build out features, help drive architecture, define best practices and enable product quality. You are required to guide the engineering teams reporting to you to make things happen and excel. In this process, you will have influence over engineering practices in addition to product strategy and execution. You will be using AI tools to maximise the potential of the team as well as yourself.

The Problem Statement: The Invisible Identity Perimeter
Modern enterprises no longer have a physical perimeter; identity is the new boundary. However, this boundary is currently fragmented, opaque, and highly volatile. IT Admins today are drowning in "Identity Debt"—stale accounts, over-privileged permissions, and hidden misconfigurations that remain invisible until they are exploited.
The industry is reactive. At JumpCloud, we believe security should be proactive. The challenge is to build a platform that doesn't just manage identities but actively audits, predicts, and remediates risks across millions of objects in real-time. We need to turn "Trust Nothing, Verify Everything" from a slogan into a high-scale, event-driven reality

As part of the ISPM team, and as part of the engineering team as a whole here at JumpCloud, you will be responsible for managing and guiding the engineering teams reporting to you.
