Security Engineering Manager

I’m looking to speak with exceptional security engineering leaders who still enjoy getting their hands dirty.

The common theme across all of my current searches is the same:

• Deep technical credibility
• Experience operating in highly complex environments
• Genuine curiosity and a passion for solving difficult problems
• The ability to lead teams whilst remaining close enough to the technology to influence outcomes

These opportunities are part of a significant growth phase within one of the world’s most sophisticated technology environments in NYC.

Successful candidates typically come from:

• Hedge funds and quantitative trading firms
• Large-scale financial institutions
• Big Tech
• Leading Cybersecurity organisations (CrowdStrike, Wiz, Mandiant etc)

Current opportunities include:

🔹 Linux Security Engineering Manager

A true player-coach role. Deep Linux, infrastructure and security engineering expertise required. Roughly 70% hands-on / 30% leadership.

🔹 Application Security Engineering Manager

Leading a growing team focused on secure software development, AI security, and application security strategy. Roughly 70% leadership / 30% hands-on.

🔹 Detection & Response Engineering Manager

Building modern detection and response capabilities across highly distributed environments. Strong engineering mindset required. Roughly 70% leadership / 30% hands-on.

All roles are hybrid in NYC.

If you’re the person other engineers go to when the problem is genuinely difficult, I’d be interested in speaking with you

***if you are interested in any of the three roles, I have full JD’s and briefing notes from my conversation with the CISO to share***
