Security Engineering Manager
We're seeking a Security Engineering Manager to lead our Cyber Defense Engineering team — a high-performing group of security engineers responsible for managing security risk across FanDuel’s global operations. This role sits at the intersection of technical depth and people leadership. You'll need genuine security credibility to earn the trust of your team and partners, paired with the managerial craft to develop engineers, drive a compelling roadmap, and scale your charter through partnerships and automation. Your team's purview spans endpoint security, SaaS security risk, AI guardrails and enablement, and Data Protection to name a few—a broad and consequential scope that touches every FanDueler. You will report to the Sr. Manager of Cyber Defense Engineering.
- Lead, develop, and grow a team of security engineers, investing in their technical craft, career progression, and day-to-day effectiveness.
- Own the strategy and roadmap for security engineering and drive its execution.
- Serve as a hands-on technical leader and security subject matter expert; earn credibility with engineers and partners alike by engaging meaningfully in technical decisions and pragmatic risk discussions.
- Scale impact through automation, AI-motivated workflows, and a disciplined approach to key partnerships.
- Translating 'secure by default' into practical controls that reduce risk without impeding the business.

- Hands-on experience building with AI tools and securing AI technologies. You understand both how to leverage AI to multiply your team's output and how to identify and mitigate the risks AI introduces to the enterprise (required).
- Strong strategic and roadmap planning skills: you can identify the highest-leverage opportunities, build conviction around a direction, and rally partners to execute (required).
