The Role

Filigran is looking for a Director of Platform Engineering to lead our platform organisation through its next phase of growth. This is a senior leadership role reporting directly to the VP of Platform Engineering.

You will manage a team of 14 platform engineers and own the Platform Engineering roadmap execution across three distinct platform verticals — each with its own technical scope, customers, and operational challenges. You’ll work hand‑in‑hand with a Technical Product Manager who drive product‑led project management, freeing you to focus on people, architecture, and strategic execution. In addition to the three product‑led verticals co‑owned with the TPM, you will be directly accountable for the maintenance in operational condition of our SaaS platforms (support, provisioning, on‑call).

️ The Three Verticals You’ll Own

☁️ Filigran Cloud

Our internally‑managed, bare‑metal Kubernetes platform — the backbone of Filigran’s SaaS offering. This includes provisioning, capacity planning, the full observability/monitoring/alerting stack (Grafana‑based), incident management, and SLA ownership. High reliability, high stakes.

XTM Suite Deployment Artifacts

The packaging and distribution layer that enables customers to self‑host the XTM Suite (OpenCTI, OpenAEV, OpenGRC). This covers Helm charts, Docker Compose configurations, and Appliance images — ensuring every deployment target is production‑grade, well‑documented, and easy to operate.
