Engineering Manager, Security

Quick Facts

• Role: Engineering Manager, Security

• Focus: Security Engineering leadership and delivery of cybersecurity products

Description

Lead and grow a Security Engineering team that builds detections, agent-driven triage and investigation, continuous offensive testing, and secure-by-default platforms. Own the technical direction for defending infrastructure, products, and the corporate environment, and lead product engineering work that brings those systems to external customers. Stay hands-on by reviewing designs and code, running investigations when needed, and setting standards others can follow.

Responsibilities

• Lead, hire, and grow security engineers across detection and response, cloud and infrastructure security, application and product security, offensive security, and identity/corporate security
• Set technical direction and deliver cybersecurity product engineering across application security, offensive testing, cloud security, and detection/response
• Keep the internal security program tightly linked to what ships to customers, using customer feedback to improve defenses
• Set a security engineering roadmap balancing incident load, risk reduction, and long-term platform investments
• Own security incident response operations, including on-call health, escalation, cross-team coordination, and postmortems that drive fixes
• Drive an AI-first security program with high-accuracy, safe automation for investigation, response, and remediation
• Partner with engineering and infrastructure leaders to integrate security into roadmaps (threat models, design reviews, least-privilege access, secure-by-default libraries)
• Represent Security Engineering in enterprise security reviews, external researcher/bug bounty engagements, and audits
• Build the team’s operating rhythm with clear ownership, key metrics (time to detect, time to contain, open risk), and written standards
• Stay hands-on: review designs and code and maintain working knowledge of defended systems

Requirements

• 8+ years of engineering experience in security, including at least 3 years managing security or infrastructure engineering teams
• Deep hands-on background in at least two areas: detection and response, AWS cloud security, application/product security, offensive security, or identity and access management
• Experience leading incident response for serious security incidents (technical investigation, containment, and executive/customer communication)
• Strong management practice (feedback, effective 1:1s, career development, and a track record of hiring and retaining senior engineers)
• Comfortable with modern infrastructure (Kubernetes, cloud-native services, CI/CD) and able to review designs and code
• Ability to make tradeoffs under pressure and clearly explain risk to technical and non-technical audiences
• Experience shipping software products to external customers, ideally security products, and turning customer feedback into the roadmap
• Experience building security programs at a fast-growing company (building more than buying)

Benefits

• Lead a small, senior security team building core internal defenses and turning them into customer-facing cybersecurity products
