Engineering Manager, Platform Security

Headquarters: Remote (West Coast)
Discord has a highly engaged community of millions of daily active users who use the platform for many different reasons, but there’s one thing that nearly everyone does: play video games. Discord plays a uniquely important role in the future of gaming, and we are focused on making it easier and more fun for people to hang out before, during, and after playing games.
More broadly, Discord is about empowering people to find belonging in all kinds of communities, and those people trust us to keep their communications safe. Our Platform Security Engineering team protects the systems we use to create Discord, making the “secure way” the “easy way.”
We’re looking for an Engineering Manager to lead a team of software engineers in articulating and pursuing the most leveraged opportunities to reduce security risk across Engineering. This team will design and build lovable “paved paths” for managing identities and access, shipping code, configuring cloud infrastructure, and operating services. If you’re an Engineering Manager who’s deeply curious, eager to own technically and socially complex projects, and excited to improve security and privacy at Discord, read on!
What you'll do
You’ll shape company-wide security strategy and lead a highly-autonomous and horizontally-integrated team of software engineers who will...
• Develop and apply best-in-class secure baselines for cloud infrastructure, owning the security of all cloud environments
• Manage infrastructure vulnerabilities while supporting a high-velocity engineering org with hundreds of developers
• Secure first- and third-party software supply chains, from the dev environment through CI/CD and into production
• Build and operate identity and access management (IAM) systems for humans and machines that are user-friendly and promote least privilege
