📋 Description

• Establish and scale a new centralized Security Engineering team, starting with the Customer Identity team and growing with additional hires depending on work needs • Define the operating model, collaborate on roadmap, and tracking systems for security engineering work across all product lines • Hire, develop, and retain a high-performing team of security-focused software engineers • Create a team culture grounded in engineering excellence, pragmatic security, and strong cross-functional partnership • Lead the design and implementation of security product features across ClickHouse Cloud, Postgres, Langfuse and OSS — including areas such as encryption, identity and access, network isolation, sandboxing, and authentication • Drive end-to-end ownership of security engineering initiatives, reducing dependency on ad-hoc resource allocation from individual engineering teams • Establish clear lanes and a dedicated tracking system for all security product features, providing consistent visibility to security and product leadership • Manage cross-functional dependencies across Core, Data Platform, Cloud Platform, and Product Security teams • Collaborate closely with the Product Management, Security teams to ensure engineering solutions are grounded in sound risk and threat modeling — freeing that team to focus on assurance and vulnerability work rather than implementation • Work with GRC and Trust & Assurance to ensure security engineering outputs support compliance, customer enablement, and audit requirements • Partner with engineering and product leadership to align on architecture direction, prioritization, and resourcing • Serve as the primary point of accountability for security engineering commitments to product strategy and roadmap.

🎯 Requirements

• Proven experience building and managing engineering teams, including hiring, performance management, and career development • Track record of establishing new teams or functions — setting operating models, building culture, and creating accountability structures from scratch • Ability to lead and influence cross-functional stakeholders, including senior engineering and product management leaders, without direct authority • Strong hands-on background in security engineering or software engineering with a significant security focus — you can credibly review architecture, guide implementation, and challenge technical decisions • Experience delivering security product features in cloud or SaaS environments — examples might include identity and access management, encryption, network security controls, or secure multi-tenancy • Familiarity with cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Azure), Kubernetes, and distributed systems • Understanding of how security features intersect with product strategy, compliance requirements, and customer trust • Demonstrated ability to manage complex, cross-functional programs — defining roadmaps, managing dependencies, and delivering against commitments • Strong instincts for prioritization and risk-based decision-making in fast-moving environments • Experience building systems and processes that scale — tracking, reporting, and coordination tools that give leadership visibility without adding friction • BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science or related field • Previous experience at a cloud infrastructure, database, or developer tools company • Previous contributions to open source projects.
