Director, Corporate Development

We are looking for a talented engineer to lead evaluation of startup acquisition opportunities in the AI, cloud and security space.

The Corporate Development team is small and values authentic, strong-willed individuals who think creatively and proactively.

You'll assess technical architecture, flag the risks and open questions that matter most early, and turn that into a clear post-acquisition integration path. Working closely with engineering, you'll keep the evaluation focused on what's actually decision-relevant, then translate the findings into strategic recommendations for leadership and help carry the integration through by partnering with the right people on the other side.
