[Hiring] Senior Manager, Product Security @Tines

Role Description

We're seeking a Senior Manager, Product Security to lead and scale our product security program in an AI-forward engineering environment. Reporting to our Head of IT Operations & Information Security, you’ll be responsible for:

• Setting the direction of product security.
• Developing a high-performing team.
• Partnering with engineering and product leaders to ensure security keeps pace with our growth.

This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who can move fluidly between strategy, people management, and technical execution. You’ll establish priorities based on risk, create scalable security processes and guardrails, and help teams make sound security decisions without introducing unnecessary friction.

A core part of this role is using AI and automation as force multipliers, building a product security program that can match the velocity of AI-assisted development while addressing the risks introduced by AI-powered products, agentic systems, and rapidly evolving engineering practices.

This position can be based remotely in the United States.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of experience in application security, product security, or closely related security engineering roles, including experience securing cloud-native SaaS products.
• 5+ years of people management or technical leadership experience, with a track record of developing engineers and building effective security teams or programs.
• Demonstrated ability to define product security strategy, translate strategy into an executable roadmap, and prioritize investments based on business and technical risk.
• Strong technical foundation in modern application security, secure architecture, threat modeling, OWASP Top 10, and secure SDLC practices.
• Experience partnering with engineering and product leaders to deliver security outcomes without creating unnecessary friction.
• Experience using AI and automation to scale security programs, such as LLM-assisted code review, automated vulnerability triage, or agentic security workflows.
• Experience securing cloud environments, preferably AWS, and containerized infrastructure using technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes.
• Working knowledge of modern programming languages and the ability to evaluate code, architecture, and technical designs. Experience with Ruby, TypeScript, and/or Rust is highly desirable.
• Experience with application security testing and vulnerability management technologies, including SAST, DAST, SCA, secrets detection, and CI/CD security integrations.
• Strong understanding of DevSecOps practices and experience designing secure-by-default developer workflows.
• Experience leading or coordinating the product security aspects of incident response, including technical investigation, stakeholder communication, and post-incident improvement.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain technical risk, business impact, priorities, and tradeoffs to audiences ranging from individual engineers to executives.
• Experience operating a public vulnerability disclosure or bug bounty program, including triage, researcher communication, remediation, and program measurement.
• Strong judgment, analytical thinking, and organizational skills, with the ability to operate effectively amid ambiguity and competing priorities.
• A leadership style grounded in trust, clarity, empathy, accountability, and a willingness to remain technically engaged.

Requirements

• Experience building a product security team or program during a period of rapid company or product growth.
• Experience securing AI/ML systems and LLM-powered features, including prompt injection, model abuse, data leakage, tool-use risks, and agentic system security.
• Familiarity with LLM red-teaming, AI threat-modeling frameworks such as MITRE ATLAS and the OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications, and emerging AI security standards.
• Hands-on experience building agentic or automated security workflows using Tines or a similar automation platform.
• Experience designing secure-by-default developer platforms, paved roads, golden paths, or reusable security controls.
• Deep familiarity with multi-tenant SaaS security, including tenant isolation, authorization models, data segregation, and identity boundaries.
• Experience with product security for APIs, integrations, workflow engines, or platforms that execute customer-defined logic.
• Experience supporting FedRAMP Moderate or High and/or DoD Impact Level IL4, IL5, or IL6 environments.
• Experience supporting enterprise customers and participating in customer-facing security discussions.
• Contributions to open-source security tooling or active participation in the security research community through CVEs, conference talks, standards work, or published research.
• Prior experience at a high-growth startup launching new products or expanding into new product lines.

Benefits

• Target Annual Compensation: $250-$275k + equity.
• Equal employment opportunities to all employees and applicants for employment without regard to sex, race, colour, ethnic or social origin, genetic features, language, religion or belief, political or any other opinion, membership of a national minority, property, birth, disability, age or sexual orientation.
