Join our team as a Senior Manager of Security, where you'll lead our Product Security team and partner with the Director of Security. In this role, you'll own the security operations, manage a team of security engineers, and work closely with every engineering team to ensure security is a priority. You'll also serve as the incident manager for security incidents and publish posture metrics to the executive team.

You were a strong Senior or Staff security engineer before you managed, and you can still read a PR, a threat model, or a cloud finding and make a call

You think in risk, not control lists, and you would rather defend a priority call than a checklist

Responsibilities

  • Diriger l'équipe de sécurité des produits et établir un modèle opérationnel axé sur le risque.
  • Gérer le portefeuille de travail de l'équipe, en assignant les tâches aux travaux prioritaires.
  • Servir de gestionnaire d'incidents pour les incidents de sécurité, en assurant la communication et la révision.
  • You have led a security team out of the gatekeeper model once already, and you can say what teams owned afterward, what Security stopped doing, and what the numbers did
  • You treat automation and AI as the first responder and yourself as the escalation path
  • You track and drive metrics, and you understand what they can and can't tell you
  • You have run security incidents end to end, including the comms and the review afterward

Requirements

  • You have been the second leader to a director or CISO and know which decisions to make in their name
  • Familiarity with AWS security at scale and with external audits (SOC 2, ISO 27001, or FedRAMP) as a participant or control owner
  • 5+ years of experience in a formal security or engineering management role, including managing senior engineers
  • Excellent communication skills with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
  • Experience as incident manager for security incidents at a SaaS company, including external communication
  • The ability to track and drive metrics, and the wisdom to understand what they can and can't tell you

A thoughtful, empathetic approach to leadership and collaboration

  • Experience guiding teams through technical tradeoffs and developing senior engineers' careers
  • Experience moving a security function from gatekeeper to team ownership, with measurable results
