Enterprise Security Engineering Manager

Who you are

• 8+ years of relevant professional experience combining software engineering and security
• 2+ years of experience managing engineers, with a track record of hiring and growing strong technical teams
• Strong background across two or more of endpoint security, network security, enterprise application security, and identity and access management
• Deep understanding of human and machine identity and authentication protocols: OAuth 2.0, SCIM 2.0, SAML 2.0, OIDC, FIDO2/WebAuthn and passkeys
• Experience with one or more policy-as-code or authorization frameworks (OPA/Rego, Cedar, Zanzibar/ReBAC)
• Current proficiency in at least one systems or backend language: Python, Go, Rust
• Proficiency with security-relevant system design: session management, audit logging, rate limiting, secret storage
• Experience threat modeling authentication and authorization systems
• Understanding of Zero Trust architecture and least-privilege access patterns, including device trust and identity-aware network access
• Familiarity with endpoint security controls (EDR, device management, OS hardening) and modern network security patterns (segmentation, service-to-service authentication, egress control)
• Experience securing enterprise SaaS and internally built business applications, including third-party integration and API risk
• Proven ability to lead projects from strategy through execution
• Strong communication and cross-functional collaboration skills
• A Player Coach: You lead from inside the work. You are in the design docs and the pull requests, and your engineers grow faster because of it — without you becoming the bottleneck
• Engineer First: You approach problems with code and systems thinking, building reliable security platforms that engineering teams can depend on
• Protocol Fluent: You have hands-on experience implementing identity standards and can navigate RFC-level details to debug complex authentication and authorization issues
• A Multiplier: You measure yourself by what your team ships and how much your engineers grow, not by what you personally wrote
• Collaborative: You love working with your direct team and cross-functional partners across engineering, DevOps, IT, and business teams to deliver security outcomes without slowing them down
• A Strategic Thinker: You define clear technical requirements and assess commercial solutions to inform build vs. buy decisions, balancing security rigor with engineering pragmatism
• Comfortable with Ambiguity: You gather data, navigate complex situations, and make sound technical decisions even when facing incomplete information or unclear requirements

What the job involves

• As the Engineering Manager for Enterprise Security and IAM, you will lead the team that builds and operates the systems protecting Roblox's corporate infrastructure - endpoint security, network security, enterprise application security, and identity and access management
• Where traditional enterprise security teams evaluate and deploy vendor solutions, your team designs and builds production-grade security software. This is a player-coach role: you own the roadmap, hiring, and growth of the team while still leading design reviews. You will set that bar and raise it
• You'll partner with security leaders across InfoSec and work cross-functionally with Corporate Engineering, DevOps, IT, and Product teams to drive security initiatives that reduce risk without slowing the company down. This role reports to the Senior Manager of Enterprise Security and is based in San Mateo with a hybrid schedule
• Lead and grow the team: Hire, coach, and develop a team of security software engineers. Own performance, career growth, and the technical culture of the team
• Build alongside your team: Contribute directly to design and implementation on the highest-leverage problems. Lead by example in code and design review
• Own the Enterprise Security roadmap: Define and drive strategy across endpoint security, network security, enterprise application security, and identity and access management - balancing near-term risk reduction with durable platform investment
• Build identity and access at scale: Own the IAM ecosystem your team builds - SSO federation, SCIM provisioning and deprovisioning, OAuth 2.0 authorization, fine-grained authorization services, and token lifecycle management for both human and non-human identities
• Lead identity for agentic AI: Set direction for how AI agents authenticate and are authorized at Roblox, including agent identity issuance, authorization for MCP servers and tool access, delegated access, scoped credentials, and short-lived token flows with auditable guardrails
• Drive secure-by-design outcomes: Partner with Corporate Engineering, DevOps, IT, and product teams to embed identity, authorization, and endpoint and network controls into enterprise systems, developer workflows, and AI tooling
• Drive cross-functional programs: Lead initiatives from strategy through execution across organizational boundaries, and communicate risk and progress clearly to senior leadership
