We’re looking for a Security Engineering Manager to lead and grow our Identity & Access Management organization at Snap!
This role combines strong people leadership, execution, and technical judgment. You will build a high-performing and increasingly independent engineering team, establish clear priorities and operating mechanisms, and partner with IAM technical leaders to deliver secure, reliable, and usable identity and access capabilities across Snap.You do not need to be the deepest IAM architect in the room. You do need enough technical fluency to understand system risk, challenge assumptions, make sound prioritization decisions, and represent the team credibly with engineering and infrastructure partners.
What you’ll do:
Lead, coach, and grow a team of security engineers; set expectations, provide feedback, manage performance, hire thoughtfully, and develop future technical leaders.
Build a healthy, accountable, and increasingly independent team that delivers reliably without depending on individual heroes.
Establish priorities, staffing plans, capacity tradeoffs, operating cadence, and measurable commitments for IAM.
Partner with IAM strategy and technical leaders to translate technical direction into executable plans, clear ownership, safe rollouts, and durable operational mechanisms.
Improve execution across IAM migration, reliability, authorization adoption, workload and machine identity, and internal-customer experience.
Set a high bar for engineering quality, security, reliability, observability, incident response, and operational readiness.
Build alignment with engineering and infrastructure teams, balancing least-privilege security with developer productivity and usability.
Identify organizational, technical, staffing, and dependency risks early; drive resolution or escalate with clear tradeoffs.
Maintain enough working fluency in authentication, authorization, cloud access, workload identity, privileged access, and access governance to make sound decisions and challenge risk.
Help the team use AI tools responsibly while maintaining strong standards for correctness, security, and production quality.
