Job Description Job Description ABOUT LVT LVT is redefining how businesses operate in the physical world, moving beyond traditional security solutions to deliver AI-driven, actionable intelligence that makes sites smarter, safer, and more secure. Since pioneering our first mobile, solar-powered units, our commitment to scrappy, hands-on innovation has made us an established leader and one of the fastest-growing companies in intelligent site technology. We are building the next generation of solutions-from our physical units in the field to a powerful Agentic AI platform-that allows our customers to gain unprecedented visibility and control over safety, compliance, and operations. This is your chance to join a cutting-edge team that isn't just watching the world change, but actively building the technology that is changing it. We're a team that's focused on growth and innovation, and we're proud that our crew, products, and leadership are being recognized for it. A Top-Tier Growth Company: Named one of the Financial Times' Fastest Growing Companies 2025 and on the Inc. 5000 Rocky Mountain Regional list for 2025. Innovative Leadership: Our CEO, Ryan Porter, was named an EY Entrepreneur of the Year 2025 , and our CTO, Steve Lindsey, was inducted into the Silicon Slopes CTO Hall of Fame in 2024. Product & Software Excellence: We were named one of The Software Report's Top 100 Software Companies of 2023 and are a winner of the Security Today Govies Award for 2025. ABOUT THIS ROLE At LVT, application security isn't an internal formality or a late-stage gate. We run a multi-tenant cloud platform, AI-driven video analytics, and license plate recognition pipelines, and we deploy thousands of solar-powered units everywhere from remote utility sites to busy retail parking lots, where anyone can walk up and touch the hardware. A tenant isolation bug, an unsigned firmware update, or a flaw in our analytics isn't just a ticket. It's a customer incident, a potential public headline, and a threat to public trust. We don't block innovation; we make high-speed execution safe. We are seeking a Senior Manager, Application Security to own product security end-to-end across LVT's physical and digital architecture. This is a player-coach role: you will manage and mentor our existing application security engineers, hire 1-2 additional security engineers, and launch a Security Champions program across product teams. Reporting to our Director, Security Engineering, you will earn a standing seat in product and engineering planning, frame risk so clearly that engineering leaders take ownership of it, and design guardrails that make the secure path the easiest path. If you'd rather build the program than police it, this role offers direct organizational impact. This role is based full-time in-office out of our Headquarters in American Fork, Utah. ROLE RESPONSIBILITIES Team Leadership: Directly manage and mentor current AppSec engineers, hire and onboard 1-2 security engineers, and launch a cross-functional Security Champions program that scales your impact across every engineering squad. Product Security Ownership: Set the architecture and standards for LVT's full attack surface, from our multi-tenant cloud platform and partner APIs to mobile clients, computer vision pipelines, and solar-powered edge firmware. Engineering Partnership: Hold a standing seat in product design and planning, turning security risks into prioritized backlog items that engineering teams own and ship. Threat Modeling at Scale: Make threat modeling a core muscle that engineering squads run independently. Train teams on the fundamentals while staying hands-on for high-stakes system designs and edge/hardware boundaries. Tenant Isolation: Define, enforce, and test tenant boundaries across all platform services, deploying automated checks so cross-tenant data leaks never reach production. Secure SDLC Automation: Build security into CI/CD pipelines as code (SAST, SCA, secrets detection, IaC policy), delivering developer feedback in minutes, not sprints, with low noise and clear build-break rules. Edge & Firmware Security: Partner with hardware and embedded teams on device boot security, signed OTA update pipelines, edge credential management, and threat models that assume physical access. AI/ML & Analytics Security: Safeguard our AI vision models, prompt boundaries, and data pipelines against abuse, keeping privacy-by-design at the forefront in a regulated and publicly scrutinized space. AI-Assisted Development Standards: Define guardrails for how LVT engineers use AI coding agents, ensuring AI-generated code meets our standards for safety, testing, and architecture. Compliance as Engineering Artifacts: Turn real product security controls into audit evidence for SOC 2, GovRAMP, FedRAMP, and CJIS through native engineering workflows instead of manual compliance exercises. Incident Response & Disclosure: Oversee external vulnerability intake, triage, and coordinated disclosure (VDP/bug bounty), and lead engineering response to product security incidents. Observability & Systemic Defenses: Partner with SecOps to instrument telemetry for authorization failures and edge abuse, turning incident learnings into root-cause controls. OUR IDEAL CANDIDATE The Player-Coach Mindset: 10+ years in AppSec or product security, including significant time as a hands-on engineer and 4+ years as a people manager or formal technical lead. You still read code, build automation, and hold your own in architecture reviews with principal engineers. Engineering Empathy: You know what it takes to ship software. You've carried a pager, hit deadlines, or maintained a release pipeline. You understand why shortcuts happen and spend your political capital wisely. Cross-Functional Influencer: You can point to releases or system architectures that changed because of an argument you made, and explain how you earned buy-in without pulling rank. Cloud & SaaS Depth: Deep technical grounding in multi-tenant authorization, zero-trust architectures, and API security at scale. Tooling & Code Fluency: Fluent in at least one language in our stack (e.g., Python, Go, TypeScript/Node, C/C++), with the ability to write custom automation, tooling, and CI integrations. Hardware & Firmware Exposure: Familiarity with IoT, embedded platforms, hardware security modules, or OTA update validation, or a proven ability to master physical attack surfaces quickly. AI/ML Security Literate: Understanding of model supply chain risks, data handling during inference, and security reviews for AI-augmented features. Metrics-Driven: You know the difference between a tool and a program. You measure success by coverage, adoption, defect recurrence, and remediation velocity. Location: Based onsite out of our headquarters in American Fork, Utah. Bonus Points: Experience in video streaming, computer vision, or physical safety products; hands-on work in regulated spaces (FedRAMP, GovRAMP, StateRAMP, CJIS); a track record scaling a formal Security Champions program or running a VDP/bug bounty. BENEFITS We believe you do your best work when your whole life is supported. We invest in our crew's health, families, and financial futures with a benefits package designed to support you inside and outside the office. Full-time benefits include, but not limited to: Comprehensive health, dental and vision coverage, retirement benefits (401k match up to 4%), and flexible PTO. LVT IS PROUD TO BE AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER. All applicants will be considered for employment without attention to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, veteran or disability status. All candidates must pass a drug screening and background check upon employment. Some roles may also require passing a federal background check and fingerprinting. Must be authorized to work in the U.S. If reasonable accommodation is needed to participate in the job application or interview process, and/or to perform essential job functions, please reach out to your recruiter.

Job Description Talis Consulting Group has been retained to recruit a Software Development Manager for one of the fastest-growing retailers in tabletop gaming. Founded in the late '90s out of the owner's garage, the company has grown into a global success story, with 400+ employees and more than $130M in annual revenue. Beyond its record-breaking eCommerce business, the company is also redefining the brick-and-mortar game store experience, with a national expansion underway. Role We're looking for a Software Development Manager to lead the company's Operations engineering team - the team behind the internal systems that support Warehouse Management, ERP, inventory, and Customer Service tooling. Every order shipped, every card graded, and every customer issue resolved runs through software your team owns. When your systems perform, the warehouse moves; when they don't, it stops. Your team builds and operates deeply integrated, data-intensive backend systems. Integration is the core discipline here - your services are the connective tissue between warehouse operations, inventory, fulfillment, customer service, and the robotics automation systems on the warehouse floor. Getting data flowing reliably across those boundaries, keeping it consistent, and ensuring internal users have tools that actually work under operational load is how your team delivers value. You'll stay close to the work - reviewing designs, pairing on hard problems, digging into production issues alongside the team, and occasionally writing code - always in service of teaching and raising the bar. You'll partner closely with the Principal Engineer(s), who set technical direction, and you'll champion consistency and alignment across the team's solutions rather than letting one-off approaches accumulate. Above all, you'll own predictable delivery against the roadmap: taking large, ambiguous initiatives, breaking them into incrementally shippable pieces, driving honest estimation even when information is incomplete, and leading your team to deliver reliably - quarter after quarter. Technical leadership & stewardship Bring senior-level engineering depth to evaluate designs, challenge architecture, and keep your team's technical decisions sound - partnering with and amplifying the Principal Engineer(s) who author technical direction. Steward engineering standards: drive consistency in patterns, conventions, and practices across your team (including contractors and vendors), treating deviations as deliberate, reviewed exceptions. Hold a high bar for integration quality - data consistency, API reliability, event-driven correctness, and clean service boundaries - across a landscape of tightly coupled operational systems. Raise your team's effective, responsible use of generative-AI tooling for software development, within approved tools and policies - and help mature those standards as they evolve. Operational ownership Own the operational health of your domain's live systems under a "you build it, you run it" model - your team operates what it builds, in partnership with the DevOps team who provide infrastructure and platform patterns. Establish your team's on-call rotation and ensure the team can support what it builds; lead incident response within the engineering-wide incident management process - consistent across teams, and one you'll help shape - and run blameless postmortems that drive systemic fixes. Own the business impact of reliability - for warehouse operations, system downtime halts shipping throughput - and balance operational load against feature delivery so neither is starved. Delivery & predictable execution Give leadership honest, range-based estimates early, and tighten them with real data from completed work as delivery progresses. Decompose large, ambiguous initiatives - including year-plus programs - into incrementally shippable capabilities with clear milestones and acceptance criteria. Build a culture of accountability: coach engineers to lean in, estimate under ambiguity, own their commitments, and follow through - moving the team from "I can't estimate that yet" to "here's my best estimate and the assumptions behind it." Work within the delivery structure (quarterly planning, a longer-term roadmap, Scrum ceremonies), upholding it consistently while helping improve it over time; surface slippage early and re-plan transparently.

Job Description Talis Consulting Group has been retained to recruit a Software Development Manager for one of the fastest-growing retailers in tabletop gaming. Founded in the late '90s out of the owner's garage, the company has grown into a global success story, with 400+ employees and more than $130M in annual revenue. Beyond its record-breaking eCommerce business, the company is also redefining the brick-and-mortar game store experience, with a national expansion underway. Role We're looking for a Software Development Manager to lead the company's Operations engineering team - the team behind the internal systems that support Warehouse Management, ERP, inventory, and Customer Service tooling. Every order shipped, every card graded, and every customer issue resolved runs through software your team owns. When your systems perform, the warehouse moves; when they don't, it stops. Your team builds and operates deeply integrated, data-intensive backend systems. Integration is the core discipline here - your services are the connective tissue between warehouse operations, inventory, fulfillment, customer service, and the robotics automation systems on the warehouse floor. Getting data flowing reliably across those boundaries, keeping it consistent, and ensuring internal users have tools that actually work under operational load is how your team delivers value. You'll stay close to the work - reviewing designs, pairing on hard problems, digging into production issues alongside the team, and occasionally writing code - always in service of teaching and raising the bar. You'll partner closely with the Principal Engineer(s), who set technical direction, and you'll champion consistency and alignment across the team's solutions rather than letting one-off approaches accumulate. Above all, you'll own predictable delivery against the roadmap: taking large, ambiguous initiatives, breaking them into incrementally shippable pieces, driving honest estimation even when information is incomplete, and leading your team to deliver reliably - quarter after quarter. Technical leadership & stewardship Bring senior-level engineering depth to evaluate designs, challenge architecture, and keep your team's technical decisions sound - partnering with and amplifying the Principal Engineer(s) who author technical direction. Steward engineering standards: drive consistency in patterns, conventions, and practices across your team (including contractors and vendors), treating deviations as deliberate, reviewed exceptions. Hold a high bar for integration quality - data consistency, API reliability, event-driven correctness, and clean service boundaries - across a landscape of tightly coupled operational systems. Raise your team's effective, responsible use of generative-AI tooling for software development, within approved tools and policies - and help mature those standards as they evolve. Operational ownership Own the operational health of your domain's live systems under a "you build it, you run it" model - your team operates what it builds, in partnership with the DevOps team who provide infrastructure and platform patterns. Establish your team's on-call rotation and ensure the team can support what it builds; lead incident response within the engineering-wide incident management process - consistent across teams, and one you'll help shape - and run blameless postmortems that drive systemic fixes. Own the business impact of reliability - for warehouse operations, system downtime halts shipping throughput - and balance operational load against feature delivery so neither is starved. Delivery & predictable execution Give leadership honest, range-based estimates early, and tighten them with real data from completed work as delivery progresses. Decompose large, ambiguous initiatives - including year-plus programs - into incrementally shippable capabilities with clear milestones and acceptance criteria. Build a culture of accountability: coach engineers to lean in, estimate under ambiguity, own their commitments, and follow through - moving the team from "I can't estimate that yet" to "here's my best estimate and the assumptions behind it." Work within the delivery structure (quarterly planning, a longer-term roadmap, Scrum ceremonies), upholding it consistently while helping improve it over time; surface slippage early and re-plan transparently. People leadership & talent Coach and mentor engineers across the engineering ladder; assess where each person sits and build concrete growth paths - including managing the Principal Engineer with the maturity to own their growth and advocacy while deferring to them technically.

Lead the development of automatic and autonomous behaviors for multi-constellation and/or multi-orbit tasking, including prioritization, scheduling, replanning, resource allocation, coordination, conflict resolution, and response to dynamic mission demands. Define technical approaches for autonomously selecting, cueing, configuring, and coordinating collection from all relevant payload classes, as applicable to mission needs, including but not limited to: electro-optical/infrared, AIS, SAR, RF, SIGINT, communications, environmental, navigation, or third-party/partner payload sources. Architect and govern hybrid on-board and off-board processing strategies. Establish decision criteria for where inference, data reduction, fusion, storage, prioritization, and dissemination functions execute, accounting for latency, bandwidth, compute, power, thermal constraints, availability, security, mission priority, and degraded communications. Lead the technical design of advanced exploitation capabilities, including automated triage, sensor fusion, event detection, object/activity characterization, change detection, anomaly detection, provenance, confidence estimation, and analyst-in-the-loop workflows. Own the technical approach for dissemination of mission products: data-format and interface standards, prioritization, routing, timeliness, quality metadata, access control, product traceability, downstream machine-to-machine integration, and human-user delivery. Establish coherent autonomy interfaces among spacecraft buses, payloads, avionics, flight software, communications systems, mission planning systems, ground control, cloud/edge infrastructure, data platforms, and customer mission applications. Drive technical rigor across system requirements, CONOPS, architecture descriptions, interface-control documents, trade studies, test plans, verification matrices, technical performance measures, and technical baselines. Lead autonomy technical readiness for major milestones, including concept and requirements reviews, preliminary and critical design reviews, test-readiness reviews, operational demonstrations, launch-readiness activities where applicable, commissioning, on-orbit operational assessments, and customer acceptance events. Define and execute a verification and validation strategy that combines modeling and simulation, digital engineering, software-in-the-loop, hardware-in-the-loop, payload/ground integration, mission rehearsal, operational test, and-in applicable programs-on-orbit validation. Identify, quantify, and retire autonomy-specific technical risks, including failure or degradation of sensors and payloads; crosslink or ground-link interruption; incomplete, delayed, conflicting, or deceptive data; resource exhaustion; model uncertainty; interface failures; cyber compromise; and unsafe or unexplainable automated action. Partner with product, program, mission operations, security, safety/mission assurance, payload, spacecraft, ground, cloud, and data-engineering leaders to balance mission performance, technical risk, cost, schedule, and customer commitments. Serve as a senior technical counterpart for government customers, mission partners, suppliers, and internal executives. Support capture, proposal technical volumes, demonstrations, mission architecture discussions, technical reviews, and customer acceptance. Build and mentor a high-performing technical organization that may include staff engineers, autonomy developers, mission planners, data/ML engineers, test engineers, and domain experts.
