Engineering Team Lead (Recon)

Every nation has data. Few can protect it. Fewer still can act on it.

Dream is the sovereign AI and national cyber-defense company for governments.

We help nations secure their most critical systems, connect fragmented information at a national scale, and turn their most sensitive data into decisions, all fully sovereign.

This is more than a job. It's a Dream job, where you'll work at a global scale alongside some of the best AI researchers, cyber operators, and government experts in the world.

We defend nations against the most advanced threats in the world with a national security suite that offers AI-native resilience against APTs with visibility, insights and mediation across Posture, CTI, and Detection & Response, all fully sovereign.

We’re on the lookout for a driven and experienced hands-on Engineering Team Leader to lead a group of engineers building the AI module in our next-generation cyber-AI product.

This team owns the core backend and frontend logic that powers multiple AI agents for Nations that bring intelligence and automation into the experience.

As a hands-on leader, you’ll guide a talented team of engineers in creating fast, scalable, and intelligent AI applications on top of our platform.

• Lead a multidisciplinary team responsible for backend services, frontend and AI agent engineering.
• Mentor engineers, grow the team, and foster a culture of technical excellence and innovation.
• Develop the agentic and conversational architecture enabling LLM-powered user interactions and intelligent workflows.
• Collaborate with AI research, data, and product teams to seamlessly integrate AI-driven capabilities into production systems.
• Define and drive the technical roadmap, ensuring scalability, developer productivity, and rapid iteration.
• Own the architecture of a large-scale, distributed recon pipeline (discovery, scanning, findings)
• Drive findings quality: accuracy, deduplication, risk scoring, and LLM validation to reduce false positives
• Own production health: observability, on-call, incident response
• Lead the migration from legacy EASM to the new Recon platform
• Manage people: 1:1s, career growth, performance, hiring

• 7+ years of software development experience, with 3+ years leading and mentoring engineers.
• Strong expertise in backend development (Python, GO, or similar) and familiarity with modern frontend technologies (React, Vue, TypeScript, etc.). 
• Solid understanding of developer experience - how to build frameworks and tooling that enable other teams to move faster.
• Experience working with or integrating AI systems, LLMs, or agent-based architectures.
• Experience leading senior engineers and reviewing their designs and code
• Distributed systems and data pipelines at scale
• Workflow orchestration (Temporal or similar)
• MongoDB / OpenSearch at scale
• Kubernetes, AWS, CI/CD
• Internet infrastructure: DNS, TLS, IP/ASN, networking
• Excellent collaboration skills and a startup mindset - hands-on, pragmatic, and impact-oriented.
• A product-oriented mindset and the ability to work in a fast-paced, team-driven environment.

Advantages:

• Experience with agent orchestration, context management, or retrieval-augmented architectures.
• Experience in cybersecurity.
• Background in EASM, vulnerability management, or offensive security
• Scanning tools and internet-scan data (nmap, Nuclei, Censys, Shodan)
• Excellent leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to thrive in fast moving environments with high ownership and autonomy.

If you think this role doesn't fully match your skills but are eager to grow and break glass ceilings, we’d love to hear from you!
