Engineering Manager, Information Security
Ticketing is a complex, historically opaque industry with a unique set of challenges. At SeatGeek, we look to open ticketing with new technology, thoughtful interfaces, and an above-all-else focus on our users.
We are looking for a tech lead or manager who can help us scale up our AppSec team and safely empower our engineering teams. SeatGeek is a product-centric organization that deploys code into production many times per day. As we grow, the scale of our technical challenges - and their effect on our customers - continue to increase. We want to ensure we continue to build and secure the best product and team we can.
What you'll do
- Manage a team of AppSec engineers.
- Develop and lead the Application Security program and roadmap.
- Partner closely with Engineering leaders to understand how products can be improved to better detect malicious activity and protect our customers.
- Encourage and train developers in secure coding practices.
- Provide regular job performance feedback, hold one-on-ones, and provide career development support to your direct reports.
- Guide the team to improve operational and engineering best practices to keep our development machine humming.
- Play an active role in our recruiting process, helping us to grow our engineering team in any way you can.
- Perform code reviews and provide technical and design feedback to the team.
- Communicate technical and product decisions to the right people, resolve blocking issues, and collaborate with other leaders across the organization.
- ...and if you have any free time after doing all of that stuff, writing code is always a good way to stay sharp!
Who you are
- You have experience building highly performant systems, with at least 5 years as an engineer in a role that was mostly about writing code and at least 3 years of experience as an engineering manager of productive, motivated teams.
- You have irreproachable technical skills, and your team should look up to you as a mentor. With your knowledge of industry technology trends you can help your team make good tooling and framework decisions setting them up for success.
- You understand how to lead by setting context and facilitating collaboration between product, design, engineering and business leaders.
