Engineering dominates hiring (80 roles), with notable adoption of Go and Yocto signaling infrastructure modernization. Active projects cluster around SaaS migration (Security Center cloud adoption, alarm management, self-service portals) and partner enablement, while pain points reveal a classic platform-transition challenge: driving SaaS adoption against partner resistance and managing consumption gaps.
