Associate Software Engineering Manager

OPSWAT , a global leader in IT, OT , and ICS critical infrastructure cybersecurity, delivers an end-to-end platform that gives public and private sector organizations and enterprises the critical advantage needed to protect their complex networks, secure their devices, and ensure compliance. Over the last 20 years our commitment to innovative technology has earned the trust of more than 1,700 organizations, governments, and institutions globally, solidifying our role in protecting the world’s critical infrastructure and securing our way of life. The Position At OPSWAT , we’re on a mission to protect the world’s most critical infrastructure. As a U.S.-based cybersecurity leader, we’re expanding our R&D footprint in Vietnam — and we’re looking for a passionate, hands-on Associate Software Engineering Manager to lead development for one of our most strategic solutions: MetaDefender Secure Managed File Transfer . MetaDefender Secure MFT empowers enterprises to securely transfer sensitive files across systems, networks, and borders. Trusted by governments and global organizations, we are at the heart of secure data movement — and we’re expanding its future in Ho Chi Minh City . This role isn’t just about managing people — it’s about leading innovation, owning architecture, and growing a full-stack engineering team in a critical product space. Above all, it’s about pioneering an AI-first, agentic engineering practice where AI agents and human engineers work together — with the goal of progressively moving toward an organization where the vast majority of code is generated and maintained through AI-driven agentic workflows . What You’ll Be Doing Build, lead, and mentor a full-stack engineering team working on MetaDefender Secure Managed File Transfer . Drive an AI-first, agentic engineering culture — define how the team uses AI coding agents and agentic workflows day-to-day, with a clear roadmap toward the majority of production code being AI-generated under strong human review and governance. Design, operate, and continuously improve agentic development pipelines (planning, code generation, automated testing, review, and remediation) and the guardrails — context engineering, evals, and quality gates — that keep AI-generated code secure and reliable. Coach engineers to become effective orchestrators of AI agents — moving the team from manual coding toward specifying, supervising, and validating work executed by agents. Guide the design and implementation of secure, scalable backend systems (C#/.NET) and modern frontend interfaces (React, Angular, or Vue). Collaborate with global teams — from Vietnam to the U.S. — to shape the product roadmap and execute major initiatives. Champion software quality, performance, and usability while driving innovation across the stack. Foster a team culture built on trust, learning, accountability, and continuous improvement. Stay current with industry trends in cybersecurity, secure coding, and AI-assisted and agentic software development . Ensure your team is building with a strong focus on secure architecture, compliance, and real-world reliability — including for AI-generated code. What You Bring Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, or related field. 5+ years of experience as an engineering manager or tech lead, with proven success leading and growing full-stack development teams. Required: hands-on experience with AI development and agentic workflows — using AI coding agents and tools (e.g., agentic IDEs, coding assistants, agent SDKs/frameworks) to ship real production software. Required: a track record of driving an engineering team to adopt and scale agentic AI workflows — establishing the practices, prompts/context, evals, review gates, and metrics needed to safely increase the share of AI-generated code over time. Strong hands-on experience in both backend (.NET/C#) and frontend (React, Angular) technologies. Ability to effectively monitor and assess team product…
