Job description

Fingerprint empowers enterprises to detect and stop online fraud with the world’s most accurate device intelligence. We lead our industry with bleeding-edge identification capabilities and work on turning new ideas and discoveries in the fraud detection space into reality. Our customers range from innovative startups to leading enterprise companies, including Plaid, Dropbox, and Booking.com. Fingerprint is a globally dispersed, 100% remote company. We were named on on the 2026 Forbes Best Startup Employers list and ranked #803 on the 2026 Inc. 5000 list of America’s fastest-growing private companies. We have raised $77M and are backed by Craft Ventures (Tesla, Facebook, Airbnb ), Nexus Venture Partners ( Postman, Apollo.io, MinIO, Druva) and Uncorrelated Ventures ( Redis, Rollbar, Gradle).

As Fingerprint scales with large enterprise customers in financial services and fraud prevention, we're investing in application security as a dedicated, first-class discipline. We're looking for a Senior Manager, Application Security to lead that investment, reporting directly to the VP of Engineering. You will personally own and build the AppSec program, and you will also manage a small team of experienced practitioners who run IT operations and compliance. This is a VP-direct role with high autonomy and high visibility. Enterprise customers regularly ask about Fingerprint's security posture. You'll be the person who owns that answer.

Your Mission

• Own and build application security — This is the center of gravity of the role. Define the AppSec roadmap, stand up the review and vulnerability management processes, and embed security-by-default practices across the engineering org. You set the standard, you hold it, and you work across teams to make it real
• Lead a small team of experienced practitioners in IT and compliance — The Lead IT Engineer and Compliance Lead have deep domain expertise and drive their own work. You give them direction, context, prioritization, and air cover, and you ramp on their domains quickly enough to represent them credibly — you don't need to arrive as an IT or GRC expert
• Be the security voice to customers and leadership — Enterprise customers, prospects, and partners evaluate Fingerprint's security posture. You represent it credibly, own the security questionnaire process, and communicate risk and posture to the VP and leadership team
• Unify the function over time — Security, IT, and compliance have operated as separate workstreams. As you ramp, bring them under a coherent strategy with shared standards, shared risk language, and a roadmap that scales with the business

What You'll Do

Application Security (primary focus)

Define and own Fingerprint's application security roadmap: vulnerability management, threat modeling, and the security review process for new features and architectural changes — and partner with the Compliance Lead, who runs the penetration testing program today, to connect its findings to engineering re
