TL;DR · Manager, Security Engineering, Production Security

Manager, Security Engineering, Production Security leads the Production Security team to protect infrastructure and data. This role involves hardening production environments across AWS and Google Cloud while building perimeter defenses, workload identity, and deployment controls for thousands of services. The manager establishes multi-year technical strategies for cloud organization hardening, CI/CD security, and secrets management. Day-to-day responsibilities include managing service reliability, overseeing vulnerability remediation, conducting security reviews of backend systems, and influencing the secure adoption of LLMs and AI tools. Key technical requirements include proficiency in Kubernetes, container technologies, service mesh tools like Istio or Envoy, and Linux internals. Candidates must possess development skills in Go, Python, or Java to evaluate designs. The role focuses on implementing zero-trust principles and defense-in-depth strategies within a large, heterogeneous production environment to ensure security is the default path for developers.

What you'll do

  • Develop and execute a multi-year technical strategy for securing production infrastructure across cloud environments.
  • Translate production risks into prioritized roadmaps while balancing security outcomes with developer productivity.
  • Manage the reliability, on-call health, and support models for a portfolio of production security services.
  • Identify, triage, and remediate vulnerabilities and misconfigurations across cloud and backend systems.
  • Oversee security reviews of platforms and business applications to ensure measurable risk reduction.
  • Embed security controls into service abstractions so that engineering teams inherit security by default.
  • Influence the secure adoption of LLMs, AI tools, and agentic workloads across the organization.
  • Recruit, mentor, and manage a high-performing team of security engineers.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or equivalent experience.
  • 8+ years of post-bachelor's industry experience; or a Master's plus 7+ years of security experience; or a PhD plus 4+ years of security experience.
  • At least 1 year of experience as an Engineering Manager.
  • Proven experience in production and infrastructure security areas such as cloud architecture, network perimeter, workload identity, or CI/CD.
  • Deep understanding of infrastructure domains including Kubernetes, containers, service mesh technologies, networking, or Linux internals.
  • Hands-on experience deploying and securing services in multi-cloud environments, specifically AWS and Google Cloud Platform.
  • Working knowledge of authentication and authorization protocols like OpenID Connect, OAuth, mTLS, and identity federation.
  • Master's degree in a technical field + 7+ years of post-grad security.
