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
