This position is posted by Jobgether on behalf of a partner company. We are currently looking for a Senior Engineering Manager, Product Security in Canada.
This leadership role sits at the intersection of product engineering and advanced security, shaping how security is embedded across product development, application architecture, and emerging AI-driven systems. You will lead a high-impact security engineering team responsible for protecting critical user data and ensuring secure-by-design principles across the entire software development lifecycle. Acting as both a strategic leader and hands-on contributor, you will define the vision, structure, and execution of product security initiatives in a fast-scaling, remote-first environment. The role requires balancing long-term security strategy with rapid, practical execution in areas such as vulnerability management, offensive security, and secure SDLC integration. You will work closely with engineering leadership to translate risk into actionable security programs that strengthen platform trust and resilience. This is a highly influential position where security is not just a function, but a core product differentiator.
- Lead and grow the Application & Product Security team, defining its mission, roadmap, KPIs, and operational priorities.
- Own the end-to-end product, application, and AI security strategy, aligning security initiatives with business and engineering goals.
- Drive vulnerability management programs across all product surfaces, ensuring timely detection, reporting, and remediation.
- Lead offensive security initiatives including penetration testing, bug bounty programs, and threat detection strategies.
- Embed security into the SDLC by designing and implementing secure-by-design practices across engineering workflows.
- Champion AI-driven and automated security solutions, replacing manual processes with scalable, intelligent systems where applicable.
- Partner with engineering and product leaders to translate technical and regulatory risks into structured security programs.
- Oversee incident response readiness and contribute to improving overall security posture and resilience.
- Establish metrics-driven reporting to track security performance, risk reduction, and operational effectiveness.
- Act as a hands-on engineering leader, contributing directly to complex security problems alongside the team.
- 8+ years of experience in security engineering, including at least 3+ years in a leadership or management role.
- Proven experience building and scaling product security or application security programs in fast-growing environments.
- Deep expertise in application security, secure SDLC practices, and vulnerability management frameworks.
- Strong background in offensive security, including penetration testing, bug bounty programs, or incident response.
- Demonstrated ability to define KPIs, structure teams, and drive measurable security outcomes.
- Strong understanding of cloud security, modern software architectures, and API-driven systems.
- Experience integrating security tools such as SAST, DAST, CSPM, or AI-powered security solutions.
- High proficiency in translating complex security risks into clear, actionable business decisions.
- Strong leadership and communication skills with the ability to influence engineering and executive stakeholders.
- Nice to have: experience in fintech or financial data security, familiarity with SOC 2, NIST CSF, or similar frameworks, and hands-on penetration testing experience.
- Strong AI fluency with a proactive mindset toward AI-driven security transformation.
- Fully remote-first work environment with flexibility to work from anywhere.
- Competitive compensation package including salary and equity participation in a high-growth company.
- Home office setup stipend to support your ideal working environment.
- Comprehensive benefits plan tailored to your location (medical, dental, vision, retirement options where applicable).
- Unlimited paid time off to support work-life balance and personal well-being.
- Monthly company-wide long weekend (“First Friday” off) for rest and recovery.
- Opportunity to shape security strategy in a high-growth, product-led organization.
- Inclusive, collaborative culture that values diversity and equal opportunity.
