Fingerprint - Careers - Join Our 100% Remote Team
Requirements
• Engineering management experience: 5-7+ years managing engineering teams, with at least 2 years at a scope equivalent to managing multiple teams, a large team, or a function with cross-domain accountability. • Direct ownership of performance management, career development, and hiring — not just running standups or serving as a tech lead. • Multi-team or cross-domain leadership: You have operated beyond a single squad and navigated dependencies, competing priorities, and alignment challenges across team boundaries. • Technical depth in your domain: You can set architectural direction, evaluate complex proposals, and earn credibility with senior engineers through substance — not just title. • A delivery track record: Concrete examples of how your teams shipped reliably, and what you specifically did when they didn’t. You take ownership of slippage, not just credit for wins. • Strong cross-functional communication: You translate technical constraints and opportunities into language that PMs, Finance, and executive leadership can act on. You do not wait to be asked. • Comfort navigating ambiguity: You do not need a fully-defined mandate to lead effectively. You define the problem, structure the path forward, and bring others along. • Nice-to-Have • Experience in a high-growth B2B SaaS or API-first company where the scope of your function grew significantly during your tenure. • Familiarity with fraud detection, identity, device intelligence, or trust and safety domains. • For Cloud Platform: Cloudflare (WAF, Workers, CDN), SOC 2 compliance, zero-trust architecture, or experience scaling infrastructure through an order-of-magnitude traffic growth. • For Security & IT: ISO 27001, GDPR, or HIPAA experience; enterprise security questionnaire ownership; Wiz, Cloudflare, or Snyk stack familiarity. • In addition to the shared bar above, each role carries specific technical requirements. These apply only to the role you are being considered for — you do not need to meet both sets. • Cloud Platform Engineering • Deep AWS expertise: EKS (Kubernetes), IAM, VPC, RDS — at production scale, not just familiarity. • Modern DevOps stack: GitOps (ArgoCD), CI/CD (GitHub Actions), Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) — you have lived in this stack, not just managed people who have. • FinOps experience: Proven track record managing seven-figure cloud budgets with measurable cost reduction outcomes. • SRE mindset: You think in SLOs, blameless retrospectives, and incident response frameworks — and you build cultures that do too. • Total technology experience: 10+ years in technology overall. • Security & IT • Genuine breadth across all three disciplines: application security, IT operations, and compliance/GRC. You do not need to be the deepest practitioner in each, but you must be credible enough to set direction, evaluate the work, and make hard prioritization calls across all three. • SOC 2 ownership: You have run or been the primary owner of a SOC 2 audit cycle — not just participated. You understand sustainable control operations versus annual scramble mode. • Application security depth: OWASP familiarity, vulnerability management programs (Snyk or equivalent), security review processes for engineering teams. • IT operations leadership: Identity and access management (Okta or equivalent), endpoint management, remote workforce IT at scale. • 7+ years in security, IT, or GRC with at least 3 years managing a team.
Responsibilities
• Lead Across Domains • Lead Across Domains • Own outcomes across multiple teams or workstreams. At this level, your accountability extends beyond a single squad — you are responsible for the health, delivery, and strategic direction of your full domain. • Develop other managers and senior engineers. Run substantive 1:1s, build succession plans, expose emerging leaders to cross-domain initiatives, and create the conditions for people on your team to grow beyond their current scope. • Build headcount plans proactively. Anticipate growth needs before they become capacity constraints and bring staffing proposals to leadership with rationale and timing. • Set Technical Vision • Define the architectural strategy for your domain. You are not just reviewing designs — you are setting the direction, identifying systemic risks, and making trade-offs visible to leadership before they become incidents. • Mentor other managers and senior ICs on complex technical trade-offs. Your technical credibility earns trust with engineers; your judgment on architectural decisions shapes how the team builds. • Proactively surface technical debt and infrastructure risk with a prioritized plan to address it — not after escalation, but before it jeopardizes delivery or reliability. • Drive Cross-Functional Alignment • Manage cross-domain dependencies. Align teams across team boundaries with unified direction. Other teams should initiate collaboration with you — not wait to be pulled in. • Communicate roadmap priorities and risks proactively to the VP of Engineering and relevant stakeholders. Translate complex technical decisions into business context. Come with recommendations, not status updates. • Partner with Engineering Leadership and Product on roadmap prioritization. Represent your function’s constraints, opportunities, and risks in planning processes. • Operate with Executive Accountability • Resolve complex cross-team problems quickly and under pressure. Make decisions in ambiguity without waiting for full information. • Own your function’s budget, headcount planning, and operational health with minimal guidance. • Bring roadmap or architecture proposals unprompted. Think about your team’s impact on the broader engineering org, not just your immediate domain.
Benefits
• We have noticed a rise in recruiting impersonations across the industry, where scammers attempt to access candidates' personal and financial information through fake interviews and offers. All Fingerprint recruiting email communications will always come from the @fingerprint.com domain. Any outreach claiming to be from Fingerprint via other sources should be ignored. • Offers vary depending on, but not limited to, relevant experience, education, certifications/licenses, skills, training, and market conditions. • Due to regulatory and security reasons, there’s a small number of countries where we cannot have Fingerprint teammates based. Additionally, because Fingerprint is an all-remote company and people can join our workforce from almost any country, we do not sponsor visas. Fingerprint teammates need to be authorized to work from their home location. • We are dedicated to creating an inclusive work environment for everyone.
