Engineering Manager Security Operations

As an Engineering Manager Security Operations, your primary responsibility will be to define and lead the charter for infrastructure security, endpoint security, and security operations. This includes overseeing incident detection and response processes. You will be tasked with building and managing a high-performing team of security engineers who specialize in defensive operations and platform resilience. Additionally, you will be required to develop and uphold incident response plans, detection strategies, and escalation protocols. Collaboration with platform, SRE, and IT teams is essential as you work towards implementing secure configurations and controls across cloud and endpoint environments. Leading incident triage, forensic investigations, root cause analysis, and postmortem processes will also be part of your role. It will be crucial to enhance visibility into the environment through security tooling, logging, and telemetry while driving metrics-based reporting for operational excellence, incident trends, and risk posture. To qualify for this position, you must hold a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (Masters preferred) and possess at least 8 years of experience in software engineering, infrastructure, or security-focused roles. Demonstrated leadership in infrastructure security, incident response, or security operations is a must. A strong understanding of cloud security (preferably AWS), endpoint hardening, and threat detection technologies such as SIEM and EDR is required. You should also showcase the ability to perform effectively in ambiguous environments with tight timelines, along with exceptional communication skills to articulate technical risks to non-technical stakeholders. Strong collaboration and stakeholder management skills are essential for this role. It would be beneficial to have exposure to product security and vulnerability management processes, familiarity with regulatory frameworks like SOC 2, ISO 27001, and PCI DSS, experience in fintech or high-growth startup environments, and knowledge of modern DevSecOps tools and practices.,
