Your Career
We are looking for an engineering manager to lead a cross–platform team in the Cortex XDR agent group. The manager will lead a group of several engineers personally and technically, making critical decisions and prioritizing the team's work.
The Cross Platform teams take part in the development of Cortex XDR Agent, a disruptive anti–exploit & anti–malware product. The XDR agent is the foundation of most of the Cortex products, providing the "boots–on–the–ground" for Palo Alto's endpoint protection solutions. The team focuses on the endpoint, working on delivering a cross platform agent for Windows, MacOS & Linux, and builds revolutionary new capabilities to improve security and performance over millions of endpoints.
We're looking for a manager that can own large projects, guide his engineers and deliver results in short periods and in a rapidly changing environment. Someone with the ability to quickly understand the wider picture and the minute details of code and make decisions that prioritize progress and results. Finally, a manager that can provide an example for the team, create clarity in their work and foster a sense of independence and ownership.
