WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR

We're looking for a Cyber Security Lead — a technical security leader who can both run a team and stay hands-on. This role owns the full technical security operations function at Manychat: Application Security, Infrastructure Security, and Endpoint Security.

You'll manage a team of security engineers, define the operational roadmap across these three domains. Reporting to the Head of Security, you'll be a key player in keeping our infrastructure and product protected and resilient.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Lead and grow a team of AppSec, Infra Sec, and Endpoint Security engineers (currently 3 engineers).
• Own the end-to-end security operations function: detection, monitoring, incident response, and remediation across cloud, application, and endpoint layers.
• Define and execute operational roadmaps for Application Security, Infrastructure Security, and Endpoint/Office Security.
• Drive adoption and administration of security tooling: EDR, SIEM, DAST/SAST, WAF, VPN, DNS security, and Okta.
• Oversee cloud security posture across AWS environments.
• Run and coordinate security incident investigations: root cause analysis, containment, remediation, and post-mortems.
• Partner with Infrastructure, IT Operations, and Engineering teams to implement and improve security controls.
• Maintain security documentation: runbooks, configurations, playbooks, and operational procedures.
• Support compliance requirements (SOC 2, ISO 27001) from the technical security side.
• Represent cyber operations in cross-functional initiatives and contribute to strategic planning with the Head of Security.

TO SHINE IN THIS ROLE

You'll need:

• 7+ years in technical security roles across AppSec, Infra Sec, or Endpoint Security.
• 3+ years in a lead or management role with direct reports.
• Experience with developer security tooling: SAST, SCA, secrets scanning, and DAST integration into CI/CD pipelines.
• Hands-on experience operating and administering security tooling: EDR, SIEM, DAST/SAST, WAF, VPN, and DNS security platforms.
• Strong AWS cloud security knowledge: IAM/SSO, Security Hub, GuardDuty, CloudTrail, and AWS Config.
• Solid understanding of application security fundamentals: OWASP Top 10, SDLC security integration, and threat modelling.
• Experience with endpoint security: macOS and Windows hardening, MDM (Jamf or Microsoft Intune).
• Ability to lead security incident response: coordinating teams, driving root cause analysis, and communicating findings clearly.
• Strong communication skills — able to translate security risk into business terms for non-technical stakeholders.
• Fluent English communication skills, both written and verbal.

It would be great if you have:

• Experience operating within SOC 2 and/or ISO 27001 compliance frameworks in a SaaS environment.
• Experience managing identity and access using Okta or a comparable IAM platform.
• Background in detection engineering and SIEM log analysis.
• Digital forensics experience.
