Senior Manager, Security

permanent
Fully Remote

Only accepting applications from: United States

  • Manage the portfolio of your team's work, appropriately managing everyone's time and assigning them to the highest priority work.
  • Help your team and the engineering organization make sense of, and simplify, how security work gets done: who owns what, what is automated, and what Security stops doing.
  • Guide product engineering teams in owning their own security health: findings route to them with mapped severity, Security reviews and validates rather than fixes, and each team sees its security health in its own service review.
  • Own the wiring and routing of security findings and requests, driving down noise and the human-decision rate across intake, triage, and review.
  • Serve as incident manager of record for security incidents: first escalation for our service-level commitments, delegated approver for vendor and access decisions, and cover for the Director's operational duties.
  • Publish posture: monthly service-level attainment to engineering, quarterly posture to the executive team, and a risk register that drives priorities.

Experience

  • 5+ years of experience in a formal security or engineering management role, including managing senior engineers.
  • Experience moving a security function from gatekeeper to team ownership, with measurable results.
  • Experience as incident manager for security incidents at a SaaS company, including external communication.
  • Experience guiding teams through technical tradeoffs and developing senior engineers' careers.
  • The ability to track and drive metrics, and the wisdom to understand what they can and can't tell you.
  • Familiarity with AWS security at scale and with external audits (SOC 2, ISO 27001, or FedRAMP) as a participant or control owner.
  • Excellent communication skills with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • A thoughtful, empathetic approach to leadership and collaboration.

Pay range: $204K - $330K

  • Restricted Stock Units (RSUs)
  • health, vision, and dental insurance
