We are seeking an Engineering Manager to lead a high‑impact team responsible for building the data systems that power personalized marketing and retention experiences for millions of fans.

• Lead and grow two high‑performing security engineering teams while maintaining deep technical engagement across cloud security architecture, network security, detection & response, and endpoint security.
• Ensure the design and delivery of secure‑by‑default infrastructure and patterns, enabling self‑service for engineering teams while reducing misconfiguration risk and accelerating development velocity.
• Lead the implementation of continuous attack surface monitoring, automated remediation pipelines, CSPM tooling, and IaC/infrastructure security scanning to proactively reduce risk.
• Own security domain roadmaps—leveraging technical expertise, threat modeling, and industry frameworks (e.g., NIST, CIS, MITRE ATT&CK) to drive systematic, data‑informed risk reduction.
• Govern the building and operation of critical security services, ensuring operational excellence, reliability, scalability, and strong SLIs/SLOs.
• Drive deployment of advanced detection & response capabilities by developing visibility architectures, deploying and tuning EDR/XDR platforms, and implementing high‑fidelity, behavior‑driven detections.
• Establish and track security and reliability metrics that measure organizational risk posture, demonstrate improvements, and inform priority investments.
• Partner cross‑functionally with product engineering, cloud infrastructure teams, SRE, compliance, and leadership to embed security into architecture, design reviews, and operational practices.
• Lead incident readiness and response programs, ensuring consistent processes, high signal/low noise alerting, and effective after‑action reviews.
• Mentor, coach, and develop engineers, fostering a team culture that balances security rigor with engineering velocity, innovation, and psychological safety.

• Meaningful improvements in customer‑facing metrics (e.g., performance, reliability, relevance).
• On‑time, high‑quality delivery of initiatives tied to company objectives.
• Clear evidence of team growth, engagement, and performance.
  
  Demonstrated improvement in team operational metrics (e.g., velocity, quality, incident reduction).
• A strong pipeline of internal talent and a team that continuously improves its impact‑per‑head over time.

• 3+ years of experience managing security engineering or security operations teams, with a proven track record of building productive, effective, and collaborative engineering organizations.
• 7+ years of hands‑on experience in cloud and infrastructure security and software engineering, including AWS, Kubernetes, and large‑scale distributed systems.
• Deep expertise in securing complex cloud environments, including threat modeling, architecture assessments, incident response, and risk prioritization.
• Strong cross‑functional collaborator, able to influence engineering and business stakeholders while balancing security requirements with product velocity and customer impact.
• Active member of the security community (open‑source contributions, conference presentations, industry groups, etc.).
• Exceptional communicator, capable of simplifying technical risks and influencing stakeholders through clear writing and strong verbal communication.
• Low‑ego, high‑empathy leader who builds inclusive teams, earns trust, and attracts top talent.
• Passionate about developing engineers, investing in career growth, and fostering a healthy, sustainable team culture.
• A pragmatic, solutions‑oriented thinker with experience partnering with deeply technical internal customers.

• Accelerated Growth Environment:
  An environment designed for swift skill and knowledge enhancement, where you have the autonomy to lead experiments and tests on…
