render - Engineering Manager, Security
Requirements
• 5+ years experience managing and developing engineers, including hiring, coaching, performance management, and building a healthy, inclusive team. • A strong background in software and security engineering, with the ability to guide system design, review technical proposals, and make pragmatic architectural tradeoffs. • Experience building or operating systems for fraud prevention, abuse detection, Trust & Safety, or adversarial security problems.
Responsibilities
• Lead and grow the Trust & Safety engineering team through hiring, mentorship, regular feedback, performance management, and career development. • Define the team’s roadmap, balancing investigations and operational needs with sustained investments in prevention, automation, and platform protections. • Guide the design and delivery of systems that detect phishing, malicious workloads, payment fraud, and other forms of platform abuse. • Build investigation and enforcement tooling that gives responders the context to act quickly, records decisions, and supports consistent handling of escalations and appeals. • Lead the team’s response to significant fraud and abuse incidents, coordinating with other Security teams, Infrastructure, Support, Finance, and Legal. • Establish sustainable on-call and response practices, including clear ownership, runbooks, escalation paths, and learning from incidents. • Partner with Product and Engineering to introduce protections at the right points in the customer lifecycle, balancing prevention with onboarding friction and false positives. • Turn knowledge of attacker behavior and recurring abuse campaigns into improvements that protect customers and reduce repeat incidents. • Define and use metrics for fraud losses, detection and response time, false positives, repeat abuse, and operational workload to guide investment. • The ability to translate ambiguous threats and business needs into clear priorities, incremental milestones, and shipped improvements. • Experience using data to evaluate detection quality, understand operational problems, and measure whether interventions work. • Clear communication and effective collaboration across engineering and business teams, including explaining risks and tradeoffs to technical and non-technical partners. • Empathy for customers and responders, high integrity, and a strong sense of ownership for both team outcomes and long-term system health. • Experience with cloud infrastructure, developer platforms, or services that run customer-controlled code and workloads. • Experience addressing payment fraud, phishing, malware hosting, account compromise, or coordinated abuse campaigns. • Experience building threat intelligence pipelines, linking related malicious accounts, or integrating external reputation signals. • Familiarity with Go, TypeScript, Kubernetes, Postgres, Terraform, or Temporal. • Experience partnering with Legal and customer-facing teams on sensitive enforcement decisions and external abuse reports. • Experience building and scaling a team at a growing company. • If this role excites you but you don’t meet every single requirement, we’d still love to hear from you—your unique experience might be just what we need.
