Replit Engineering Manager, Security at Replit leading teams securing cloud, infrastructure, and application code. Responsible for vulnerability remediation, compliance, and setting security strategy.
Responsibilities
We are looking for an Engineering Manager, Security to lead the teams that secure our cloud, our infrastructure, and the code we ship. You will manage two closely linked groups:
Cloud & Infrastructure Security: engineers who own cloud security posture, configuration hardening, and infrastructure vulnerability management across GCP, AWS, and Azure, plus containers, Kubernetes, and SaaS platforms.
Application Security & Secure SDLC: engineers who run our SCA, SAST, and IaC scanning programs, drive remediation with engineering teams, and deliver secure development training.
The core responsibility of this role is getting vulnerabilities fixed on time. You will partner with engineering teams across the company to drive remediation of cloud, infrastructure, and code findings within SLA, so that we consistently meet our compliance commitments (SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, FedRAMP, and customer contracts). You will hire and grow a high-performing team, set the strategy and roadmap for vulnerability management from code to cloud, and make secure-by-default the easiest path for every developer. You will not run incident response yourself, but you need to understand it well enough to support the incident response team with context, prioritization, and follow-up fixes.
Team Leadership & Strategy
Build, lead, and mentor a team of cloud security, infrastructure vulnerability management, and application security engineers; own hiring, career development, and performance management.
Define the multi-year roadmap and quarterly OKRs for cloud security, vulnerability management, and Secure SDLC, balancing risk reduction against developer velocity.
Set clear ownership, operating rhythms, and on-call/escalation processes across the team.
Report on security posture, risk trends, and program metrics to engineering and executive leadership.
Remediation & Compliance Delivery
Own remediation SLAs by severity across cloud, infrastructure, container, and code findings, and make sure they map to our compliance obligations (SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, FedRAMP, customer contracts).
Partner with engineering managers and tech leads to plan, prioritize, and land fixes within SLA without stalling roadmaps.

Required
8+ years in security engineering, cloud security, or DevSecOps, including 2+ years managing security engineers (or 3+ years as a tech lead with formal people-leadership responsibility).
Deep, hands-on knowledge of cloud security in GCP plus working knowledge of AWS and/or Azure: IAM, networking, logging, org policies, and security services.
Proven track record running vulnerability management programs at scale and driving remediation across many engineering teams to meet SLAs, across cloud infrastructure, containers, and application code.
Hands-on experience with SCA, SAST, and IaC scanning tools (e.g., Snyk, Semgrep, CodeQL, Checkmarx, Socket, Dependabot, Checkov, tfsec) and integrating them into CI/CD.
Strong understanding of Kubernetes and container security, and Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform or similar).
Proven track record of building or maturing a Secure SDLC program, including developer security training.
Ability to write and review code or automation (Python, Go, TypeScript, or similar).
Strong understanding of how remediation SLAs and security controls map to compliance frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, FedRAMP, CIS, NIST), and experience producing audit evidence.
Working understanding of security incident response in cloud-native environments, enough to partner effectively with IR and detection teams.
Excellent communication skills, with the ability to influence engineering leaders and explain risk in business terms.
