Product Security Software Engineering Manager

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for a Product Security Engineering Manager who can lead a high-performing security engineering team while remaining hands-on with the technical work. You will own the execution and health of our product security platform, manage day-to-day team delivery, and partner closely with engineering and security stakeholders across the organization. This is a player-coach role: you are expected to be in the code and the architecture decisions, not just managing from a distance. You should be comfortable translating ambiguous security requirements into structured roadmaps, running tight execution through Jira, and holding your team accountable to quality, stability, and delivery outcomes.

What You Will Do

• Lead and manage a team of product security engineers, setting clear expectations, running regular 1:1s, and owning the professional development and performance of each team member.
• Stay hands-on: contribute to architecture, design, and code reviews, and write code yourself where appropriate. At this level, your team should be able to function without you coding, but you remain an active technical contributor.
• Own end-to-end delivery for your team’s product security systems, including the internal system portfolio application and related security tooling, ensuring reliability, extensibility, and operational excellence.
• Define, manage, and maintain the team’s Jira backlog—scoping epics, breaking down work, tracking progress, and removing blockers to keep the team moving.
• Balance your team’s workload across feature delivery, system stability, security maintenance, and technical debt in partnership with your engineering and product counterparts.
• Design and implement backend services in Golang and frontend components in JavaScript/TypeScript, and maintain robust integrations with internal systems and third-party APIs.
• Drive engineering quality through observability, testing strategy, CI/CD integration, and clear maintainability standards for your team.
• Partner with Product, Security, Platform, and other engineering teams to ensure your systems integrate cleanly with broader organizational workflows.
• Communicate clearly and consistently with your team, peer EMs, and senior leadership—setting vision, reporting on progress, and escalating risks appropriately.
• Leverage AI-assisted engineering tools (e.g., Claude Code or similar) to accelerate development while maintaining high standards for correctness, security, and maintainability.
• Own compliance, security posture, and system quality for your team’s products end-to-end, including understanding and tracking the relevant metrics to prioritize these efforts.

What You Need to Succeed

• Demonstrated engineering depth across the full software development lifecycle—from architecture and implementation to production operations—combined with hands-on people management or tech lead experience that shows you can own a team’s execution and health, not just your own.
• Strong hands-on experience in Golang and modern TypeScript/JavaScript (SPA frameworks).
