About the role
- Hire, develop, and retain a high-performing team of 3-4 deeply security-aware software engineers dedicated to building and operating production-grade security platforms.
- Foster a culture of technical excellence, collaboration, and continuous learning where engineers thrive through clear expectations, regular feedback, and opportunities for growth.
- Enable technical excellence through architectural and technical oversight, reviewing designs, assessing risk, and ensuring solutions are robust, maintainable, and scalable.
- Coach engineers in product thinking and platform ownership, helping them evolve from delivering features to managing services with measurable impact.
- Establish your team as the go-to platform builders, delivering solutions that meet any business need.
- Own the Security Platform roadmap, aligning it with Lambda's overall security and business objectives.
- Balance immediate security team needs against a strategic platform vision that yields compounding value.
- Proactively gather and meet customer needs that result in tools and platforms that are adopted voluntarily because they make secure development faster and easier.
- Operate as both technical and product leader, translating complex requirements into deliverable, incremental milestones that provide real impact early and often.
- Establish Lambda's security data foundations: log pipelines, telemetry frameworks, and data services that empower decision-making across security functions.
- Build self-service security capabilities for engineering teams—authentication frameworks, secrets management systems, policy enforcement tooling, and security APIs that make the secure path the easy path.
- Direct the development of compliance automation that streamlines evidence collection, attestation, and reporting.
- Partner with the peer security teams to deliver operational tooling, incident response automation, and analysis systems that scale without toil.
- Ensure your team's platforms are reliable, monitored, and continuously improved based on real-world adoption and performance.
Requirements
- 5+ years of experience leading software engineering teams OR 5+ years of software engineering experience with 3+ years in engineering management.
- Proven ability to build, lead, and scale technical teams that deliver complex, high-impact platforms.
- Strong architectural intuition and product management sensibility; you can set vision, make tradeoffs, and deliver tools engineers love to use.
- Experience building security platforms, including understanding what makes them succeed or fail.
- Understanding of securing complex infrastructure environments, ideally including bare metal and cloud platforms, both as a consumer and a provider.
- Experience building automation-first systems that improve both velocity and security outcomes.
- Skilled communicator who can translate technical risk into business impact and build alignment across diverse stakeholders.
- Ability to thrive in a high-speed, high-ambiguity environment where you balance building for today while preparing for tomorrow's needs.
