Engineering Manager (Secure Development Engineering)

• You will lead the team that builds Airbnb’s security products for engineers: secure development frameworks, secure-by-default infrastructure products, and identity and access platforms. We ship products, not policies. Reporting into InfoSec leadership, you’ll work closely with infrastructure, product engineering, and compliance partners across the company. Our users are Airbnb engineers across infrastructure and product, and adoption is the measure that matters
• Own the roadmap for a portfolio of security products spanning secure SDLC, vulnerability management, infrastructure security, and platform identity, with real dependencies on partner orgs
• Drive product thinking: who the user is, what adoption looks like, what gets deprecated. A security product only counts when engineers choose to use it
• Find the next problem before it finds you. Spot gaps in the company’s security posture, shape them into work the team can own, and bring the case to leadership rather than waiting for it to be assigned
• Turn engineering progress into a story leadership can act on. Progress, so-what, dates, and the ask
• Resolve ownership questions between teams before they become conflict. Platform identity, agentic identity, and infrastructure policy are live seams
• Grow senior and Staff engineers through sponsorship, not supervision. Hiring, promotion cases, coaching
