About the role
- Lead and grow a high-performing engineering team responsible for Enterprise Audit capabilities (e.g., audit trail, admin activity tracking, audit log APIs/exports, retention policies, and audit experiences).
- Define and drive the Enterprise Audit roadmap in partnership with Product, Security, Compliance, and other engineering teams—balancing customer value, compliance requirements, and platform sustainability.
- Own architecture and delivery of highly reliable, secure, and scalable audit systems, including event capture, processing, storage, and query/reporting at enterprise scale.
- Build audit as a platform capability with strong guarantees (integrity, durability, tamper resistance, and clear schemas), enabling other teams to emit and consume auditable events consistently.
- Embed security and privacy into everything (least privilege, encryption, defensible access patterns, data minimization, and clear retention/deletion behaviors).
- Establish operational excellence: SLIs/SLOs, monitoring, incident response, capacity planning, and on-call health for audit services.
- Coach and develop engineers and leads, creating a strong culture of ownership, high-quality delivery, and continuous improvement.
- Communicate clearly and proactively with stakeholders and leadership on progress, tradeoffs, risks, and outcomes.
Requirements
- 10+ years in software development, including experience building distributed systems and production services at scale.
- 5+ years managing engineering teams with a strong track record of coaching, delivery, and talent development.
- Experience designing systems that emphasize data integrity, traceability, and reliability (audit/logging, compliance platforms, security telemetry, billing/ledger-like systems, etc.).
- Strong understanding of security fundamentals (authN/authZ, RBAC, encryption, secure-by-design practices) and how they apply to enterprise audit requirements.
- Proven ability to partner cross-functionally, align priorities, and deliver through ambiguity.
- Strong Agile delivery habits and a pragmatic approach to balancing speed, quality, and long-term maintainability.
- Legally eligible to work in Bulgaria on an ongoing basis.
- Fluency in English is required.
Benefits
- Lead a mission-critical capability that directly supports Enterprise trust, governance, and compliance.
- Build foundational platform services used across product areas and relied on by our largest customers.
- Influence technical direction and team culture in a high-growth engineering organization.
- Work in a supportive, inclusive environment where your voice and leadership make a visible impact.
