Airbnb's Information Security organization is seeking an Engineering Manager to lead the Secure Software Development Engineering team. This role reports into InfoSec leadership and owns a portfolio of security products including secure SDLC frameworks, vulnerability management, infrastructure security, and platform identity solutions.
You will lead a team building security products for Airbnb engineers across infrastructure and product teams. The focus is on shipping products that engineers choose to adopt, not policies. Key responsibilities include:
- Own the roadmap for security products spanning secure SDLC, vulnerability management, infrastructure security, and platform identity with cross-team dependencies
- Drive product thinking around user needs, adoption metrics, and deprecation strategies
- Proactively identify gaps in the company's security posture and shape them into work the team can own
- Communicate engineering progress to leadership with clear context, timelines, and asks
- Resolve ownership questions between teams before they escalate into conflicts (particularly around platform identity, agentic identity, and infrastructure policy)
- Grow senior and Staff engineers through sponsorship, hiring, promotion cases, and coaching
- Work closely with infrastructure, product engineering, and compliance partners across the company
This is a hands-on leadership role where adoption by internal engineering teams is the primary success metric. You'll balance strategic roadmap ownership with direct involvement in product design and team development.
**Requirements:**
- 3–5+ years of hands-on experience managing a software engineering team
- 9+ years of relevant software development industry experience in a fast-paced tech environment
- Bachelor's and/or Master's degree, preferably in Computer Science, or equivalent experience
- Strong product and design instinct with proven experience building well-designed experiences
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills; proven track record working with multiple engineering teams and cross-functional partners
- Flexible leadership style that adapts to different working situations
- Experience leading and shipping large initiatives with high business impact, specifically shipping or running security software engineering or infrastructure products that engineering teams integrate with and depend on
- Ability to create a strong culture of operational excellence with focus on quality, reliability, and availability
