Security Engineering Manager

About the Opportunity

Are you a hands-on technical leader ready to shape the defensive architecture of a modern, cloud-first infrastructure? We are seeking a Security Engineering Manager to guide a high-performing team of engineers while driving application security and cloud protection strategies across our modern software ecosystem. In this role, you will bridge strategic security vision with deep technical execution, empowering product and engineering teams to build fast without sacrificing security.

Responsibilities

  • Technical Guidance & Architecture: Provide direct technical oversight for complex security challenges, conduct thorough architecture reviews, and maintain active hands-on involvement with cloud defensive configurations.

  • Program Direction: Drive the continuous evolution of our application security and cloud posture initiatives throughout every stage of the software development lifecycle.

  • Team Leadership: Lead, mentor, and cultivate a dedicated team of security engineers, fostering a high-ownership culture focused on professional growth and technical rigor.

  • Strategic Delivery: Plan, track, and execute security engineering initiatives from design through deployment, guaranteeing alignment with broader organizational risk priorities.

  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with Product and DevOps leaders to embed preventative security standards directly into engineering roadmaps and development workflows.

  • Risk Reduction: Proactively identify infrastructure vulnerabilities, remove operational roadblocks, and maintain momentum on remediation efforts across all engineering domains.

Requirements

  • 7+ years of progressive information security experience, with specialized expertise in AppSec, DevSecOps, or cloud infrastructure defense.

  • Demonstrated experience managing and developing technical teams while successfully delivering complex security projects.

  • Deep technical mastery of secure software development practices, CI/CD pipeline protections, secrets administration, and application vulnerabilities.

  • Exceptional ability to translate high-level security frameworks into concrete engineering deliverables for both dedicated security staff and partner development teams.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Hands-on experience configuring cloud-native security controls, including DSPM, CSPM, and workload protection solutions within AWS environments.

  • Familiarity with automated application scanning methodologies (SAST/DAST/SCA) and IaC deployment frameworks (e.g., Terraform, cloud automation suites).

  • Experience securing enterprise-grade web applications, business-critical administrative systems, or custom CRM platforms.

  • Strong understanding of identity lifecycle management across human users, non-human service accounts, and API access tokens.

Compensation & Benefits

  • Competitive base salary with performance-based incentive structures.

  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision health plans.

  • 401(k) retirement plan with employer matching.

  • Flexible work arrangements (Remote/Hybrid options) and generous paid leave.

Pay: $170,000 to $200,000 per year
