About the Role
DTEX is building durable, cross-functional product PODs that own end-to-end customer outcomes—from concept to production and real-world impact.
We are seeking a Director, Product Engineering to lead our AI POD, responsible for defining how enterprises understand, detect, and mitigate risk in the age of AI.
This is a category-defining role at the intersection of cybersecurity, behavioral analytics, and applied AI. You will lead a dedicated, cross-functional team to build capabilities that address emerging risks from how humans interact with AI systems, models, and data—at enterprise scale.
This is not an incremental product area. You will be tackling problems such as:
About DTEX
DTEX is the leader in risk-adaptive security, unifying human, data, and AI risk through a behavioral intelligence platform. Built for enterprise scale, DTEX detects threats early and prevents breaches before they impact the business.
By analyzing how people, data, and AI systems interact, DTEX surfaces early indicators of risk that other tools miss and provides the context needed to act with precision. The platform brings together insider risk management, risk-adaptive data protection, user and entity behavior analytics, user activity monitoring, and AI risk management into a single, cohesive solution.
Organizations and governments worldwide rely on DTEX to protect sensitive data, enable secure innovation, and safeguard trust. With privacy-by-design telemetry and adaptive controls, security teams can reduce risk without disrupting productivity.
Joining DTEX means working on some of the most complex and high-impact security challenges facing enterprises today.
Exact compensation may vary based on skills, experience, and location.
Base salary range (SF Bay Area): $180k-$250k.
Joining DTEX means joining a passionate team working at the intersection of cybersecurity, intelligence, and trust. Together, we’re redefining how organizations protect their future.

This is not an incremental product area. You will be tackling problems such as:
- Misuse of generative AI and copilots in the enterprise
- Data leakage through prompts and AI-assisted workflows
- Behavioral anomalies across human + AI interaction patterns
- Emerging attack vectors including model manipulation, distillation, and insider-enabled AI risk
- Own adoption, impact, and success of the AI pillar
- Define and drive the product strategy and roadmap aligned to DTEX’s platform vision
- Translate ambiguous, emerging problems into clear product direction and execution
- Operate a high-velocity POD model with engineering, product, design, and domain specialists
- Drive execution cadence, release planning, and milestone delivery
- Remove dependencies and ensure the team can ship quickly and predictably
- Define and evolve the AI architecture for the pillar (e.g., behavioral analytics, anomaly detection, LLM-driven reasoning, signal fusion)
- Drive decisions on build vs. leverage vs. partner across models, infrastructure, and data pipelines
- Ensure systems are production-grade—observable, explainable, and privacy-preserving
- Rapidly iterate from data → insight → model → product capability
- Partner with Sales, Customer Success, and Marketing to bring new capabilities to market
- Shape POVs, customer narratives, and early adoption strategies
- Incorporate real-world customer feedback into product direction without introducing churn
- Deliver solutions that are stable, scalable, and enterprise-ready
- Uphold strong engineering practices across reliability, performance, and deployment
- Track and improve delivery effectiveness (e.g., lead time, deployment frequency, iteration velocity)
- Enterprise-scale behavioral telemetry across users, data, and systems
- A privacy-preserving, metadata-first architecture designed for regulated environments
- Real-world deployments across financial services, government, and global enterprises
- A platform that connects human behavior, data sensitivity, and AI interaction patterns
- Measurable customer adoption and impact of AI capabilities
- High-quality detection of AI-related risks (precision, recall, and explainability)
- Rapid iteration cycles from new signals to production features
- Predictable, high-velocity delivery with minimal cross-team dependency
- Strong alignment between product innovation and market adoption
- Proven experience leading cross-functional product and engineering teams to deliver high-impact outcomes
- Strong technical background with the ability to guide architecture-level decisions
- Experience building or deploying production AI/ML systems (e.g., behavioral models, anomaly detection, LLM-based systems, or data-driven platforms)
- Ability to operate in high-ambiguity, rapidly evolving technical domains
- Demonstrated use of AI to accelerate both product capabilities and development workflows
- Strong communication and executive alignment skills
- Experience in one or more of:
- AI security or model risk
- Behavioral analytics / UEBA
- Data protection or modern DLP systems
- Familiarity with:
- LLM ecosystems and agentic architectures
- Signal processing and detection pipelines
- Enterprise SaaS product development at scale
- Not a project management role
- Not a handoff between product and engineering
- Not focused on output over outcomes
- Define a new category – Help establish AI as a core enterprise security discipline
- Work on real problems at scale – Production deployments where AI risk is already a board-level concern
- End-to-end ownership – Build from first principles and see your work directly impact customers
- Trusted AI systems – Develop solutions that balance detection power with privacy and regulatory constraints
- High-impact environment – Join a team tackling some of the most complex challenges in modern security
