About Us

Launched in 2024, Zynap is on a mission to Outsmart Cybercrime. As an innovative and fast-growing cybersecurity startup, we’re building an advanced product that tackles complex digital challenges in the B2B landscape.

Our team is small, dynamic, and ambitious. We’re currently a tight-knit and growing engineering team, which means every person has a direct impact on what we build and how we build it. We thrive on cutting-edge technologies — including agentic AI development frameworks — and foster a collaborative environment based on creativity, accountability, and team spirit. Zynap is founded by Daniel Solís and a team of tech experts coming from Blueliv, a successful cybersecurity startup.

If you’re looking to make a real impact on cybersecurity and help scale a high-performing engineering team from the ground up, this could be your next step!

Role Description

We’re looking for an Engineering Manager to partner with our CTO in running the engineering organization on a day-to-day basis. You’ll be the operational backbone of the team — ensuring that engineering squads are aligned, communication flows smoothly across teams, and collaboration with product, design, and other stakeholders is effective and consistent.

This is a hands-on leadership role. You’ll balance people management with process excellence, helping the team ship high-quality work while maintaining a healthy, motivated engineering culture. Experience with or strong understanding of agentic AI development frameworks is essential — our engineering workflows are deeply integrated with Claude Code, and you’ll need to understand how teams work within this paradigm to lead effectively.

What You’ll Do

• Partner with the CTO to define and execute the engineering roadmap, translating strategic goals into actionable plans for the team.

• Manage the day-to-day operations of the engineering team: sprint planning, standups, retrospectives, and delivery tracking across multiple squads.

• Act as the communication bridge between engineering teams, product management, and other stakeholders — ensuring alignment, transparency, and fast decisionmaking.

• Foster a collaborative and high-trust engineering culture where people do their best work, give and receive feedback openly, and grow professionally.

• Support hiring, onboarding, and career development for engineers — helping the team scale while maintaining quality and culture.

• Drive engineering best practices around code quality, CI/CD, testing, documentation, and incident response.

• Understand and actively participate in workflows built around agentic development frameworks (particularly Claude Code), ensuring the team leverages these tools effectively.

• Identify and remove blockers, manage cross-team dependencies, and ensure smooth delivery of features and projects.

• Contribute to technical decision-making by understanding trade-offs, even if you’re not writing code daily — your technical judgment matters.

• Champion process improvements that help the team move faster without sacrificing quality or wellbeing.

Who You Are

• You have 3+ years of experience in engineering management or a technical lead role, with a track record of leading and growing software teams.

• You have a strong technical background in software engineering — you’ve been a developer and understand the challenges your team faces from first-hand experience.

• You have experience with or strong understanding of agentic AI development frameworks and how they integrate into engineering workflows. Hands-on experience with Claude Code or similar tools is highly valued.

• You’re an excellent communicator who can translate between technical and business contexts, and who keeps stakeholders informed without overhead.

• You have experience facilitating cross-team collaboration in fast-moving environments, ideally in startups or scale-ups.

• You’re a people-first leader who genuinely cares about the growth, wellbeing, and effectiveness of your team members.

• You have experience with agile methodologies and know how to adapt processes to the needs of the team rather than follow rigid frameworks.

• You’re comfortable working with cloud-native architectures and modern development stacks (experience with AWS & GCP is a plus).

• You have familiarity with cybersecurity concepts, or a genuine curiosity and willingness to dive deep into the domain.

• You have a high level of English; Spanish is a plus.

• Prior experience in startups or fast-paced, high-growth environments is strongly preferred.

Perks

• Opportunity to build and scale an engineering organization from the ground up in a high-growth cybersecurity startup.

• Competitive salary and benefits package.

• Work with cutting-edge AI-powered development tools and help define how the team uses them.

• Training and development opportunities in cybersecurity, leadership, and emerging technologies.

• A vibrant, young team that values creativity, innovation, and real impact.
