Role overview

This is a leadership role overseeing Security Engineering for product and production infrastructure across a fast-scaling cloud security platform. The manager leads a globally distributed team of security engineers, sets technical direction, partners with software development, DevOps, and product management, and embeds secure-by-design practices across CI/CD pipelines and multi-cloud environments.

Responsibilities

• Recruit, develop, and coach a high-performing, globally distributed team of security engineers, including performance goals, 1:1s, and career progression support.
• Lead threat modeling and technical security reviews across product architectures and multi-cloud infrastructure to identify attack surfaces and design scalable mitigations.
• Drive security automation and "shift-left" practices, including policy-as-code and developer-friendly tooling integrated into CI/CD workflows.
• Define and govern secure baselines for multi-cloud resources and managed Kubernetes infrastructure such as EKS, GKE, and AKS.
• Oversee end-to-end vulnerability management and remediation programs with preventative controls across the software supply chain.
• Partner with detection and response functions to scale alert triage, investigation capabilities, and automated incident remediation.
• Build deep relationships with engineering and DevOps leadership to balance security requirements with delivery velocity.

Requirements

• 2+ years of experience leading, managing, or mentoring security engineering, DevOps, or technical cloud infrastructure teams.
• 7+ years of experience in security engineering or security operations within cloud-native environments.
• Strong hands-on cloud security experience in AWS, with working knowledge of Azure or GCP, plus deep knowledge of Kubernetes and container security.
• In-depth understanding of cloud IAM architecture and identity security at enterprise scale.
• Hands-on experience with infrastructure-as-code frameworks such as Terraform, CloudFormation, Helm, or Pulumi, and automation scripting in Python, Go, Shell, HCL, or Rego.
• Practical knowledge of web application security fundamentals and threat modeling, including OWASP Top 10 and software supply chain security.

Nice to have

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Experience managing and scaling remote, globally distributed engineering teams.
• Background in organizations that develop and operate large-scale SaaS or managed cloud services.
• Familiarity with CNAPP, CSPM, CIEM, or CDR platforms and methodologies.
