About the role

As a Senior Engineering Manager leading the Betterment Security team’s Application Security squad, you’ll collaborate closely with engineering teams across the company as your squad helps developers build secure software by default. Your team shapes how Betterment threat models new systems, reviews designs, manages vulnerabilities, and equips engineers with the tools, libraries, and guardrails that make the secure path the easy path.

What they're looking for

  • Expertise across the application security stack: secure SDLC, threat modeling, secure design review, code review, vulnerability management, and the cloud-native ecosystem (AWS, containers, Kubernetes, CI/CD)
  • Experience with hands-on managing, mentoring, and inspiring a team of talented security engineers, including senior engineers. Demonstrated success as a true player-coach is a must
  • Experience leading execution of large team initiatives and execution of smaller concurrent projects in partnership with senior engineers
  • Familiarity with AI-assisted security tools and a curiosity for exploring how AI can enhance both security workflows and the security posture of the AI-powered features our engineers are building
  • A real passion for application security and for empowering developers to do the right thing easily
  • Experience collaborating with other engineering teams, product managers, subject matter experts, and non-technical stakeholders such as legal, compliance, and risk
