About The Team

We are seeking an Engineering Manager to lead our Cloud & Infrastructure Security and Security Operations teams within Enterprise Security. You will be responsible for designing secure-by-default infrastructure, hardening our cloud and network environments, and developing complementary detection and response capabilities. This role requires defining and executing roadmaps across two distinct security domains with a strong bias for automation, engineering rigor, and measurable outcomes.

Why This Role Matters

You’ll work on critical systems that fuel StubHub’s growth engine. This is a high-visibility role with executive support, cross-functional collaboration, and opportunities to influence architecture, mentor engineers, and shape how we drive customer lifetime value. If you like solving hard technical problems with measurable impact and enjoy blending product, data, and engineering, this is the team for you.

What You’ll Do

Lead and grow two high-performing security engineering teams while maintaining deep technical engagement across cloud security architecture, network security, detection & response, and endpoint security.

Ensure the design and delivery of secure-by-default infrastructure and patterns, enabling self-service for engineering teams while reducing misconfiguration risk and accelerating development velocity.

Lead the implementation of continuous attack surface monitoring, automated remediation pipelines, CSPM tooling, and IaC / infrastructure security scanning to proactively reduce risk.

Own security domain roadmaps—leveraging technical expertise, threat modeling, and industry frameworks (e.g., NIST, CIS, MITRE ATT&CK) to drive systematic, data-informed risk reduction.

Govern the building and operation of critical security services, ensuring operational excellence, reliability, scalability, and strong SLIs / SLOs.

Drive deployment of advanced detection & response capabilities by developing visibility architectures, deploying and tuning EDR / XDR platforms, and implementing high-fidelity, behavior-driven detections.

Establish and track security and reliability metrics that measure organizational risk posture, demonstrate improvements, and inform priority investments.

Partner cross-functionally with product engineering, cloud infrastructure teams, SRE, compliance, and leadership to embed security into architecture, design reviews, and operational practices.

Lead incident readiness and response programs, ensuring consistent processes, high signal / low noise alerting, and effective after-action reviews.

Mentor, coach, and develop engineers, fostering a team culture that balances security rigor with engineering velocity, innovation, and psychological safety.

What Success Looks Like

Meaningful improvements in customer-facing metrics (e.g., performance, reliability, relevance).

On-time, high-quality delivery of initiatives tied to company objectives.

Clear evidence of team growth, engagement, and performance.

Demonstrated improvement in team operational metrics (e.g., velocity, quality, incident reduction).

A strong pipeline of internal talent and a team that continuously improves its impact-per-head over time.

What We’re Looking For

3+ years of experience managing security engineering or security operations teams, with a proven track record of building productive, effective, and collaborative engineering organizations.

7+ years of hands‑on experience in cloud and infrastructure security and software engineering, including AWS, Kubernetes, and large‑scale distributed systems.

Deep expertise in securing complex cloud environments, including threat modeling, architecture assessments, incident response, and risk prioritization.

Strong cross‑functional collaborator, able to influence engineering and business stakeholders while balancing security requirements with product velocity and customer impact.

Active member of the security community (open‑source contributions, conference presentations, industry groups, etc.).

Exceptional communicator, capable of simplifying technical risks and influencing stakeholders through clear writing and strong verbal communication.

Low‑ego, high‑empathy leader who builds inclusive teams, earns trust, and attracts top talent.

Passionate about developing engineers, investing in career growth, and fostering a healthy, sustainable team culture.

A pragmatic, solutions‑oriented thinker with experience partnering with deeply technical internal customers.

What We Offer

Accelerated Growth Environment : An environment designed for swift skill and knowledge enhancement, where you have the autonomy to lead experiments and tests on a massive scale.

Top Tier Compensation Package : Competitive base, equity, and upside that tracks with your impact.

Flexible Time Off : Embrace a healthy work‑life balance with unlimited Flex Time Off, providing you the flexibility to manage your schedule and recharge as needed.

Comprehensive Benefits Package : Prioritize your well‑being with a comprehensive benefits package, featuring 401k, and premium Health, Vision, and Dental Insurance options.

The anticipated gross base pay range is below for this role. Actual compensation will vary depending on factors such as a candidate’s qualifications, skills, experience, and competencies. Base annual salary is one component of StubHub’s total compensation and competitive benefits package, which includes equity, 401(k), paid time off, paid parental leave, and comprehensive health benefits.
