Engineering Manager, Security
We are seeking an Engineering Manager, Security to lead a talented team responsible for protecting products, platforms, systems, and customer data. In this role, you will set the technical direction for security engineering, translate organisational risk into practical engineering priorities, and ensure that security is embedded throughout the software development and operational lifecycle. You will partner closely with engineering, infrastructure, product, privacy, compliance, and incident response teams to build secure, resilient, and scalable solutions.
Your responsibilities will include managing, mentoring, and developing security engineers; establishing clear goals, delivery plans, and performance expectations; and supporting a culture of collaboration, accountability, and continuous learning. You will oversee initiatives such as threat modelling, vulnerability management, application and cloud security, identity and access management, security automation, detection improvements, and incident readiness. You will review architectural decisions, help prioritise remediation work, define meaningful security metrics, and communicate technical risks and progress to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. You will also contribute to hiring, workforce planning, engineering standards, and the development of repeatable processes that improve security without unnecessarily slowing delivery.
The successful candidate will have experience leading or managing security engineering teams, with a strong understanding of modern application, infrastructure, cloud, and software development practices. You should be comfortable balancing strategic planning with hands-on technical engagement and have a track record of delivering security improvements in complex environments. Strong communication, influencing, and stakeholder management skills are essential, as is the ability to explain risk clearly and make pragmatic decisions. Experience with secure development lifecycles, security tooling, automation, and relevant industry frameworks or compliance requirements is desirable. We welcome applicants who bring curiosity, sound judgement, and an inclusive leadership style, along with a commitment to helping teams build secure products by design.
