Security Engineering Manager

Other Duties

• Please note this job description is not designed to cover or contain a comprehensive listing of activities, duties or responsibilities that are required of the employee for this job. Duties, responsibilities and activities may change at any time with or without notice.
• Security program milestones defined, communicated, and delivered
• Security-debt register established and demonstrably burning down
• Team hired, retained, and growing (manager and peer observations)
• Quality and clarity of executive reporting
• Strong senior/staff-level individual contributor background in security engineering, infrastructure engineering, or platform engineering; you have personally built the kinds of systems you will now lead
• Demonstrated ability to design and drive a security program or comparable cross-cutting technical initiative from ambiguity to delivery
• Working depth in modern cloud security practice: cloud IAM, credential federation, secrets management, secure SDLC, and detection/logging (we run multi-cloud: primarily AWS, a growing GCP footprint, and a small amount of Azure; depth in one cloud and fluency across the rest is fine)
• Strong coaching and mentoring skills, with a track record of growing engineers, including those early in their careers
• Sound judgment on tooling and vendor decisions, including knowing when to build and when to buy
• Clear, direct communicator with executives and with engineers, in writing and in person
• Enthusiasm for using AI as a working tool in security engineering; we want practitioners who are energized by this, not skeptical of it
• Pragmatism: bias toward risk reduction that ships over frameworks that impress
• We care about demonstrated ability, not certifications or credentials. If you've built and led this kind of work, we want to talk to you regardless of which letters follow your name.
