Hello, let us introduce ourselves!

watchTowr is the Preemptive Exposure Management capability trusted by Fortune 500 companies and critical infrastructure providers.

By combining proactive threat intelligence, real attacker telemetry, and automated red teaming, watchTowr continuously identifies and validates real exposure - so security teams can outrun real-world threats.

When exploitation happens in hours, watchTowr delivers what no one else can: time to respond.

We are a global team of operators, researchers, and engineers who have spent years thinking like attackers - and we are now building the technology to stop them. Our work is recognised across the industry, with original vulnerability research from watchTowr Labs and innovations like Instinct and Attacker Eye shaping the future of cybersecurity.

Backed by $29M in funding, recognised by Gartner, and scaling fast across the globe, we are in a high-growth phase of our journey. We are a young, high-energy, and research-driven team, obsessed with building world-class technology - and we want exceptional people to join us.

But what’s the role?

We are looking for an ambitious Engineering Lead to join us and lead our Singapore-based Client Facing Applications (CFA) team, in our mission of helping organisations understand how they could be hacked - in real-time. This role is based in Singapore.

Sounds great – what will I do?

• You will lead the CFA Engineering Team in Singapore driving delivery of a scalable integration strategy as the watchTowr Platform grows.
• You will report into and work closely with the Head of Applications to align local delivery with the global CFA strategy, ensuring technical consistency and shared standards.
• You will act as line manager for the Singapore CFA engineers, including performance reviews, career development, and day-to-day coaching.
• You will determine appropriate and design normalisation or standardisation layers to enable rapid deployment and development of new integrations
• You will design workflows that reflect the flow of data between the watchTowr Platform, and various integration types.
• You will tackle technology and data problems – how do we handle large amounts of data and give our clients control over their data and the processes behind it?

Sounds perfect to me, what specifics are you looking for?
